Architectural engineering (or building services engineering) is closely related to our living, as it deals with the design of electricity supply, lighting, heating and air-conditioning, fire-fighting system, fresh water provision, waste water discharge, and lift and escalator as required in a built facility.
With an increasing concern about health and sustainability, building service engineers also devote their expertise in designing negative pressure infectious disease wards, and smart monitoring and control systems to reduce building energy consumption, not to mention about improving the indoor environmental quality and building thermal comfort.
Themes of Study
- Building energy
- Intelligent energy management and control
- Indoor environmental quality
- Heating, ventilation and air-conditioning systems
- Fire engineering
- Piping design
Entrance Requirements for Direct / Non-JUPAS Applicants
To be considered for admission, you must satisfy the General Entrance Requirements and the following major-specific entrance requirements:
- level 3 or above in HKDSE Mathematics;
- grade C or above in GCE A Level Mathematics;
- subject score of 4 or above in the IB Mathematics subject group; OR
- other qualifications equivalent to any one of the above and approved by the University.
For senior-year (Advanced Standing II) admission, applicants are normally expected to have completed an Associate Degree/Higher Diploma in Building Services Engineering and a CGPA ≥ 3.0 in the scale with 4.3 maximum or equivalent.
For details of the programme’s curriculum structure, please visit the ‘Undergraduate Catalogue’.
We aim to provide students with the academic background necessary for a professional building services engineer. You will be able to manage the design, installation, testing, commissioning, maintenance and management of various building services systems.
The core courses in this major include:
- Environmental and Thermal Science
- Fluids
- Mechanics
- Mathematics
- Practical Training
- Fire and Piped Services
- Heating, Ventilating and Air-conditioning Systems
- Management
- Professional Ethics and Safety
- Electrical Engineering
- Fire Engineering
- Building Energy
The ever-increasing demand for sustainable, green, intelligent building projects in Hong Kong and throughout mainland China has created a great need for building services engineers. We are playing an extremely important role in the building industry, and you can join us!
The College of Engineering and the Department offer work placement opportunities through internship schemes that provide students with full-time job attachments to firms not only in Hong Kong, but also in the PRC and overseas. Through such placements, students will:
- gain solid experience in a real-life work environment;
- develop problem-solving abilities and interpersonal skills;
- learn the right attitudes towards work and professionalism; and
- broaden their experience and enhance their employability.
For details, please visit the College’s Co-operative Education website.
Furthermore, to help students to broaden their educational horizons, gain language experience and enhance their awareness of different cultures, the Department, College and University offer a number of credit-bearing exchange programmes with various partner institutions around the world including universities in Australia, Canada, Europe, the US and the Asia-Pacific region.
For details, please visit the University’s outbound exchange programme website.
This Major is accredited by The Hong Kong Institution of Engineers (HKIE). Graduates are eligible for Scheme A Training in the following disciplines:
- Building Services Discipline
- Energy Discipline
- Fire Discipline for graduates who completed successfully CA4737 Fire Science and Modelling and CA4738 Fire Engineering Approach. (Students should refer to the “Admission Requirements of the Fire Discipline” for the top-up requirements to be fulfilled.)
We offer our students eye-opening and inspiring experiences through our Industrial Attachment Scheme and student exchange programmes with mainland universities in major cities, including Taiwan, Sydney, London, Lyngby, Singapore etc. All of our building services engineering graduates are employed in related professional building services engineering fields after graduation.
