It is common to hear non-arts undergraduate students complain about being forced to take humanities classes that have nothing to do with their area of study or career aspirations. But Dr. Daisy DU Yan, Associate Professor from Division of Humanities, thinks otherwise. Scientists and engineers should study arts and humanities to better understand what their inventions mean to society and humanity.  It is Dr. Du’s mission to involve more and more students in her classes and help them become critical and creative thinkers with a sense of empathy. “Humanities has soft power. Sometimes it can have an even bigger influence on people than scientific inventions,” she adds, bringing examples from history, from Shakespeare to LU Xun, an impactful Chinese writer who started out studying medicine, but later became a writer as he believed in the greater power of words than medicine on people. 

The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) will launch Hong Kong’s first undergraduate program in ocean science and technology this September, to nurture a young generation of new professionals with first-hand experience on the investigation, conservation and management of marine environment.

Prof. Philip K. T. MOK, the newly-inaugurated Associate Dean of Engineering (Undergraduate Studies), is a student-centered educator who likens teaching to raising children.

Professor King Chow, Director of Interdisciplinary Programs Office A study on boys' and girls' ability in mathematics has placed a centuries-old argument in the spotlight: are men and women created equal, and do they perform equally in math-related subjects? The recent study, conducted by scientists at the University of Rochester and the University of Pittsburgh in the United States, examined cross-sectional gender differences in mathematical cognition from more than 500 children aged between six months and eight years old, focusing on numerosity perception, culturally trained counting, and formal and informal elementary mathematics concepts. To the surprise of many, the study - published in Nature Partner Journal of Science of Learning - found no difference between boys and girls in early quantitative and mathematical ability, which means that boys and girls are indeed created equal to reason about mathematics.

The School of Engineering of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) today (December 4, 2018) announced its plan to turn “experiential learning” courses into compulsory courses for 800 Year 1 undergraduate students in two to three years’ time. All engineering students will have to build an engineering artifact to acquire multidisciplinary knowledge that suits what society needs.

The School of Science (SSCI) and the School of Engineering (SENG) at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) jointly launched a new degree program in Data Science and Technology (DSCT) amid a pressing demand for data scientists in a world of data explosion. As the first tech-based data science program in Hong Kong for undergraduate students, DSCT seeks to nurture interdisciplinary and pragmatic talents who could address the needs of the society with data analytic and technical approaches.At present, data science programs for undergraduate students tend to focus more on the business dimension - such as how to derive business and management strategies from a pool of data, and less on data engineering skills including coding, machine learning and statistic theories.

Students, staff and faculty members at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) will be able to obtain free certificates for Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) offered by HKUST on Coursera, under a pilot scheme between this major MOOC platform and several selected universities – with HKUST being the only institution from Asia.
