HKSQ Membership drive and Student Project Competition Promotion in CityU

The first lecture of SEEM Programme named “Professional Engineering Practice” was held on 18^th Jan 2020.  When I prepared the lecture presentation in the theater, I saw a meaningful statement that “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world”. 

In the beginning, Dr. KS Chin introduced the overview of the course and I am the Adjunct Professor responsible on this course.

Then I introduced myself using the topic “Connecting the Dots – from Student to Adjunct Professor”.  I shared my experience and career development to the student. This presentation had presented several time in AP, BCH and SEEM for career talk.  

After briefed the Engineering course and requirement, I introduced the HKSQ as membership drive.

Moreover, I briefed the coming HKSQ Company based Student Project Competition.  If they joined the competition, their team result could transfer to the course team presentation.  That is near the same effort.

After the first lecture about the Hong Kong Industry Development and Different Relevant Policies, we took a group photo before class finished.
