Aerospace has been undergoing rapid changes since the last century. Such changes have been driven by the advancement in electric aircraft flight technologies, advanced digital communications (what is now called digital aerospace), smart inspection, autonomous flight, supersonic flight technologies, etc. Our major takes cognizance of these changes but at the same time provides the students with the engineering skills and knowledge needed to succeed in the current climate and to adapt to the forthcoming challenges.

This major, aerospace engineering aims to provide students with a significantly broad base of engineering skills. They will meet the needs of the current and the changing aerospace industry, e.g. New Space (SpaceX), space flight and the next generation aircraft. Moreover, the multidisciplinary education also enhances graduate employment in areas such as technical services, consultancy, manufacturing and finance, which is aligned with the manpower need in Hong Kong.

The new major benefits from having a two-stream system. Students can specialize in either the Materials or the Aerospace Systems stream in the senior years of the major. This offers employment opportunities in areas that will form the backbone of aerospace technologies of the future. In an Aviation Forum regarding Global Megatrends held at the Royal Aeronautical Society (2019) and attended by delegates from around the world, it was clear that there will be a demand at local, national and global levels for training undergraduates in the fields of advanced materials, systems technologies, conceptual systems design, communication systems, space technologies/exploration, electrical technologies. The proposed new major covers these aspects in addition to the fundamentals of computing, simulation, numerical methods and professional engineering which opens additional career opportunities in R&D, technical services, finance, teaching/research and consultancy.

It is expected that some graduates will continue with postgraduate studies to specialize in some of the next generation fields of developing areas e.g. space urbanization, digital communications and AI, autonomous vehicles, robotics, materials for hypersonic flight, etc. Undoubtedly, career paths for these are already open and more are sure to develop.

The young professionals educated in this major will meet the needs of Hong Kong as an international financial center and aviation hub as well as the demands for development in innovation and technology, testing and certification. In addition, the major is developed upon the research strengths across a number of excellent departments, such as MNE, Department of Materials Science and Engineering (MSE) and Department of Advanced Design and Systems Engineering at CityU. The major will offer professional teaching and conduct cutting-edge research in aerospace materials and manufacturing systems, aerospace statics and dynamics, electric and electronic systems for aircraft, aircraft system design and performance, flight mechanics, aircraft design and communication systems, testing, certification, safety and reliability, manufacturing and robotic technologies, aerospace structures and materials, advanced structural materials, flight control systems engineering, avionic power systems, noise and vibration control, machine learning and artificial intelligence, aeroelasticity, NDT Technologies for aircraft structures and materials.

The College of Engineering and the Department offer work placement opportunities through various internship schemes that provide students with full-time job attachments in firms not only in Hong Kong, but also in the Pearl River Delta region and overseas. Through such placements, students will:

• gain solid experience in a real-world 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 Centre's website.

Furthermore, for 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.

The Department of Architecture and Civil Engineering (ACE) at the City University of Hong Kong is unique in Hong Kong, as we offer a broad spectrum of construction-related programmes, from architecture to civil engineering, building services engineering (or architectural engineering) and surveying, within a single department. With this advantage, students are not only able to acquire professional knowledge of their chosen discipline of study (e.g. architecture), but they can also interact with students or other programmes (e.g. civil engineering) to broaden their horizon. The interdisciplinary knowledge and team working ability have made our graduates very sought after in the construction industry.

Applicants will be considered for admission to first-year studies at the Department of Architecture and Civil Engineering. Students will enter a major (current major options: Architectural Engineering; Civil Engineering; Architecture and Surveying) after one year of study. The top 40% of students# will have a free choice of majors offered by the Department. The other 60% of students will be allocated a major within the Department, subject to the availability of places and the selection criteria set by individual majors.

# based on CGPA with no failed grades and completion of at least 30 credit units including College/Department required courses for the year.

Applicants seeking advanced standing entry can submit an application for the following programmes:

• BEng Architectural Engineering (admission code: 1698A)
• BEng Civil Engineering (admission code: 1699A)
• BSc Architecture and Surveying (admission code: 1707A)

The Department of Architecture and Civil Engineering is one of the founding departments of City University of Hong Kong. The Department offers professional education at both undergraduate and postgraduate degree levels. Our programmes are academically rigorous and professionally focused. Adopting an inter-disciplinary approach, our programmes are delivered by a professional team that includes civil and structural engineers, architectural/building services engineers, construction engineers, material technologists, environmental scientists, architects, urban planners, building surveyors and quantity surveyors. Our graduates are therefore uniquely placed to serve the architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) industry.

The AEC industry in Hong Kong is flourishing. Infrastructure and building developments, and the maintenance and refurbishment of existing facilities, have contributed to Hong Kong's growing economy. There are notable opportunities for innovations and career development. In addition to the Hong Kong market, the local AEC industry can expect to participate actively in the markets of the People’s Republic of China. The Department has established close collaborations with universities and professional bodies both locally and in Mainland China.

The introduction of four-year university education offers a platform for the implementation of a discovery-enriched curriculum. Directed towards an outcome-based teaching and learning paradigm, together with excellence in applied research, the Department pledges to succeed in its mission of "Meeting the world’s challenges – Build tomorrow, create the future".

The Department currently offers the following majors:

• BEng Architectural Engineering
