Four full-time programmes are offered under the Scheme:
A common curriculum is provided for all first-year students.
At the end of the second semester of Year 1, students can choose to study one of programmes 1–3 as their major based on the student’s choice and overall GPA in Year 1.
Students who are interested in taking programme 4 are subject to further assessment, i.e. students’ own choice and the grade point average (GPA) of Year 1.
The credit requirements of these programmes are indicative only and are subject to review.
BEng (Hons) in Civil Engineering and Sustainable Development
The BEng (Hons) programme provides a well-structured top-quality interdisciplinary education that is a balanced combination of state-of-the-art knowledge and the highly in-demand skills that underpin modern civil engineering practice.
The Year 1 common curriculum offers a broad fundamental education that integrates subjects from across civil and environmental engineering disciplines. This enables students to make a genuinely informed choice about the major in which to specialise from their second year of study.
Graduates are eligible to join Scheme A training of the Hong Kong Institution of Engineers in Civil, Structural, Geotechnical, Fire, Environmental, or Logistics & Transportation Engineering, in accordance with their chosen major (civil engineering, structural and fire safety engineering, and environmental engineering).
BEng (Hons) in Civil Engineering
This programme aims to nurture well-rounded civil engineering graduates who are conversant in all areas of environmental, geotechnical, hydraulic, structural and transportation engineering and in construction management. Graduates will be able to plan, design, construct, and manage interdisciplinary civil engineering projects incorporating complex commercial, environmental, social and legal considerations.
BEng (Hons) in Civil Engineering (Structural and Fire Safety Engineering)
This is a unique programme that combines the essential elements of structural engineering, civil engineering, and fire safety engineering to address the emerging challenges of structural safety and fire safety in high-rise structures and densely populated cities. Graduates are equipped with fundamental knowledge and practical skills in structural engineering and active and passive fire-protection technologies, and assume key roles in designing, maintaining, and retrofitting new and existing buildings.
BEng (Hons) in Environmental Engineering and Sustainable Development
This is a unique programme that integrates elements of environmental engineering, sustainable development, and occupational safety and health. This enables graduates to devise practical solutions to environmental and safety problems in the areas of water and waste management, circular economies, energy sustainability, and urban development, and to contribute to policy formulation that will lead to sustainable development.
