HKSQ Membership Drive and Extension Innovation Method promoted in ADSE Lecture, CityU

I had teaching a program named “Bachelor of Engineering in Intelligent Manufacturing Engineering (BEng ITME) 工學士 (智能製造工程學)” in Semester A, 2022/2023 again.  My lectures in the BEng ITME Programme named “ADSE(SEEM)2066: Professional Engineering Practice” for year 1 students. In the beginning, I introduced Hong Kong Society for Quality (HKSQ) to students. 

Then I gave my book named “Extenics: Logic of Innovation” to students for their study and we all took a photo for memory.

I introduced the basic element theory and extension innovation method – four steps (Model-Extension-Transformation-Selection). 

After that student separated into six groups for discussing their new product/service created through the steps of extension innovation method.

They need to submit and present three new ideas for their product/service through extension innovation project and discussed in next class.

BENG SEM Programme Committee Meeting (Summer 2022)

It is the last programme committee meeting for the phasing-out programme “BEng in System Engineering and Management (SEM)”. BEng in SEM separated into two streams and they were Total Quality Engineering (TQE) and Data Analytics (DA). Now it has integrated into the programme named “Bachelor of Engineering in Intelligent Manufacturing Engineering (BENG ITME)”.  Firstly, all committee member took a group photo through zoom. 

Then Dr. KS Chin led the meeting and he appreciated all industry advisors’ contribution. At the end, he collected all our comments that may be used for the new programme development in ADSE department.

The programme committee meeting 2021 was held on 22^nd Nov 2021 both onsite and online. We also took a photo for memory.
