大工學院躋身世界最佳工學院之列。2009年Quacquarelli Symonds（QS）
亞洲大學排行榜設立之時，科大是這些領域內唯一一所躋身十大的香港院
校；於2010年5月公布的（QS）亞洲大學排行榜中，科大成績更上層樓，在資訊
科技和工程領域排名第7。
就全球而言，於2009年《泰晤士報高等教育》Quacquarelli Symonds（THE-QS）
全球大學排名榜中，科大在工程及資訊科技領域名列全球第26位。自2004年以
來，科大一直穩佔世界前30位。
為迎接將於2012年推出的四年制本科生課程，工學院已推行多項新計劃。自
2009年起，工學院已引入學院為本的收生制度，同時為學生提供傳統以課程為
本、及全新以學院為本的兩種選擇。2012年推出新課程後，所有新入學的本科
生將按學院為本的模式獲取錄。
新課程以學生為本，提供範圍更廣泛、更靈活的課程結構，為學生帶來更全面的
學習體驗，為投身工程行業作好準備。新課程推出後，工學院培育的人才將更能
掌握多方面的才能，不但在世界各地具有競爭力，解決困難的能力及溝通技巧亦
將得以提高。
為增加本科生課程的廣度和深度，學院於2010年推出嶄新的工程管理及法律副
修課程。課程的核心單元涵蓋有關工程實務與運作的法律知識、與工程有關的知
識產權法、工程投資策略與成本控制，以及工程管理。
科大工學院設立工程教育創新中心並委任高彥鳴教授為創辦主任。中心的宗旨是
鼓勵學生與教授運用工程教育的最新研究結果，從而增強教學實力。中心的首要
的重點是協助新近加入科大的師生適應環境，包括設立專為一年級學生而設的朋
輩導師計劃，及與教學促進中心合作為新入職的教員提供有關教學的課程。
工學院致力發展為舉足輕重的世界級研發機構。研究資助局香港博士研究生
獎學金計劃的資料顯示，科大工學院在本港大學的工學院中最受哲學博士生
歡迎。

anked among the best engineering schools in the
world, the School raised its regional profile further
in May 2010 with the release of the Quacquarelli
Symonds (QS) Asian University Rankings, which saw
HKUST secure seventh place among Asian universities
in IT and engineering. In 2009, when the rankings were
first established, the University was the only Hong Kong
institution listed in the top 10 in these fields.
Globally, HKUST ranked number 26 worldwide for
Engineering and Information Technology in the Times
Higher Education﹣Quacquarelli Symonds (THE-QS) World
University Rankings in 2009. It has been consistently
ranked among the top 30 in the world since 2004.
The School has introduced a range of initiatives to
set the stage for the new four-year undergraduate
curriculum which will be launched in 2012. It has
incorporated the School-based Admission (SBA) Scheme
into its admission options since the 2009 intake,
providing both the conventional “program-based” and
the new “school-based” options for students. With the
launch of the new curriculum in 2012, all students will be
admitted through the SBA Scheme.
The new curriculum is more student-focused and
provides a broader and more flexible program structure
to give students an all-round educational experience to
better prepare them for careers in engineering. With
the new curriculum, it is expected that the School can
produce globally-competitive professionals who are

multi-dimensional and who are equipped with strong
problem-solving and communication skills.
To enhance the breadth and depth of the undergraduate
curriculum, an enterprising new minor program in
engineering management and law was launched in
2010. The core courses of the program cover the legal
perspective on engineering practices and operations,
intellectual property law in engineering, project
investment strategies and cost control, and engineering
management.
To better position itself as a leader in engineering
education and faculty development, the School of
Engineering has established a Center for Engineering
Education Innovation and has appointed Prof Edmond
Ko as the Founding Director. The Center is dedicated to
the building of human capacity by encouraging students
and faculty members to be champions of developmental
issues that are important to them. With the initial
focus on helping people in transition, the Center has
introduced a peer mentoring program for first-year
students and collaborated with the Center for Enhanced
Learning and Teaching to offer a course on teaching for
new faculty members.
The School seeks to be a global research powerhouse
that makes significant impact. According to the Research
Grants Council’s Hong Kong PhD Fellowship Scheme,
the School has attracted the largest number of PhD
students among local engineering schools.
