This programme is a unique undergraduate programme in Hong Kong which covers elements of systems design and process, engineering innovation and entrepreneurship. The programme prepares our students for successful careers in engineering innovation and enterprise which are identified as a key component for Hong Kong’s future planning and growth. Our curriculum allows students to further specialize in different areas of expertise including industrial Internet-of-Things, smart city, logistics and supply chain, robotics and automation. Our programme also has a placement component that allows students to gain real world experience, which will provide a significant edge when students look for employment after graduation.

What You Will Be Studying

This programme will cover the following components over the first two-year span:

  • Understanding of the scientific principles and applications of innovation and enterprise engineering.
  • A solid foundation in science subjects for the preparation of engineering exploration.
  • Basic knowledge in relevant areas, including engineering enterprise, logistics and supply chain management, management science, technology innovation, optimisation, statistics and reliability.
  • Ability to formulate and solve real intelligent system and enterprise engineering problems and provide high-quality solutions.
  • Work-related experience and effective communication skills.

Upon completing the initial two-year period, students have the option to pursue one of the following paths:

  • to complete the remaining required courses of the IEEG, offered by SYE and other departments in the College of Engineering (CENG) and graduate with a Bachelor of Engineering degree in IEEG.
  • to select other BEng programmes or obtain double major degrees in the College of Engineering if the student wishes to specialise in other engineering disciplines.

There will be an academic advisor mentoring each student in the programme on selecting required elective courses for achieving their goals upon completion of the programme.
