Visit Material Tech Co. Ltd. for COMP Students’ Capstone Project

On HKQF the 16^th TIC-ITAC meeting, I mentioned our capstone project to Chairman of TIC-ITAC Mr. Felix Chan (Managing Director, Material Tech) and he was very interested. Then he invited me to visit his construction laboratory named “Material Tech Co. Ltd.” on 26^th Mar 2025.

Thanks Mr. Herman Tang (Assistant General Manager) drove me to the laboratory and we took a photo for memory.

In office, I found their HOKLAS certificate for Construction Materials, Calibration Services and Quality Management System Certification.

They supported and were recognized by the Hong Kong Qualifications Framework (HKQF) and the Hong Kong Council of Testing and Certification (HKCTC) Award Scheme.

After that we visited the laboratory area and saw different equipment such as compression machine.

Steel bar testing area was visited.

Equipment is used for measuring of steel bar thread.

Test small concrete cubes.

Engineer demonstrated how to measure the dimension of small concrete cubes and we would like to use robotic arm in future.

Finally, we took a photo in the entry of laboratory.

I am very grateful to Mr. Felix Chan for providing this opportunity for PolyU COMP students as their capstone project.

HKSQxCOMPxSGS Seminar/Webinar on AI Governance using ISO/IEC 42001 were coorganzied by HKSQ, COMP Dept., PolyU and SGS (Certification Body) on 24^th Mar 2025. This seminar/webinar introduced the framework with which the industry uses to govern AI to ensure its use is responsible, ethical, and accountable. Before the seminar, HKSQ exco members and guest speakers took a group photo for memory.

We just held the HKSQ exco meeting before the seminar.

Dr. Kevin Yuen and Dr. Raymond Pang supported this seminar.

I was the first speaker and the topic named “Introduction to BSc (Hon) Scheme in Computing and AI cum Revamp of HKIE accredited course”.

Firstly, I briefed our programme that included BSc (Hons) in Computer Science and BSc (Hon) in Enterprise Information Systems.

After that I introduced my revamped computing ethics course which published in HKIE journal as feature article last year.

Finaly, I demonstrated some of my students’ group project cases on AI safety and improvement initiatives.

Mr. Chris Yau (Deputy Director, Products and Services Development, SGS Hong Kong Limited) was our guest speaker and his topic named “AI Governance using ISO/IEC 42001”. In the beginning, he briefed the AI risk landscape.

Mr. Yau showed different AI risk cases including discrimination, data leakage, robustness, data privacy, IP, etc. And then he mentioned some common expectation of AI such as Transparency, Explainable, Accountability, Ethics, Human oversight, etc.

Finally, he stated the trustworthiness of AI system based on ISO/IEC 22989:2022 and it defined different common terms of AI for user understanding.

Ms. Natalie Law (Sr. Certification Officer, Products and Services Development, SGS Hong Kong Limited) was the second guest speaker and her presentation entitled “ISO/IEC 42001:2023”.

Firstly, she introduced three key roles used in the standard and they were AI producer, AI provider and AI user.

Explaining how to distinct them, they employed Tesla and AWS to clarify their relationship.

After that Ms. Law briefed the structure of ISO 42001 and identify one special cause that is 6.1.4 – AI system impact assessment.

She demonstrated some common risk and showed its impact that was not only affected their department but also affected other stakeholder. AI system impact assessment is in operational level and impacted in multi-dimensional externally.
