Short Description
As the first of its kind in Hong Kong, the Department of Materials Science and Engineering was established to develop internationally competitive and cutting-edge research and provide a professional curriculum that equips graduates to contribute to materials science and engineering and related sectors in Hong Kong, greater China and the rest of the world.
The Department serves as a collaboration platform for developing cross-disciplinary academic programmes and interdisciplinary research projects with other academic units in the University. Further, it aspires to become a world-leading department in research and professional education with a focus on the following four target areas:
- Structural materials
- Energy and Electronic materials
- Materials characterization
- Computational method for materials engineering
The Department also serves as an international platform to encourage collaboration among the leading institutes in the world and to enhance our global research reputation.
