Mission Statements
To prepare undergraduate and post-graduate students for productive
careers in industry, academia, and government by providing an excellent
environment for teaching, learning, and research in the theory and
applications of computing and information technology. In particular, we
aim:
- To produce highly qualified and well-rounded graduates possessing
fundamental knowledge of computing and information technology who can provide
leadership and service to Hong Kong, China, and the world.
- To pursue creative research and new technologies in Computer Science and
Engineering and across disciplines in order to serve the needs of industry,
government, society, and the scientific community by expanding and
contributing to the body of knowledge in the field.
- To develop strong partnerships with industrial and government agencies,
professional societies, and local communities.
Vision Statements
To be a recognized leader in Computer Science and Engineering education
and research:
- International: To have a strong impact in our
targeted areas of research and to attract excellent faculty and students
worldwide
- Regional: To be the catalyst in the region, and in
particular China, in Computer Science and Engineering in terms of
research, education, and technology transfer.
- Hong Kong: To contribute to Hong Kong as a
knowledge-based hub in the areas of Computer Science and Information
Technology by graduating some of the best students in these areas and by
assisting relevant industry and governmental organizations.
Educational Objectives
The academic objectives of the Department of Computer Science and
Engineering is to provide outstanding education and research programs
that:
- Promote a philosophy of learning that develops a diverse computer
science/engineering student body that can be prepared for their specific
profession, for advanced studies and careers in research, or for
multidisciplinary knowledge
- Provide a stimulating academic research environment for individuals who,
in both industry and academia, will be leaders in the pioneering of computer
applications and of the development of new technology for the benefit of
society
- Demonstrate technical competence in computer science and engineering
design and analysis consistent with the practice of a specialist and with the
broad perspective of the generalist
- Provide, at various courses, individual and group projects in design and
research which, combined with classroom study, will prepare our students for
the professional practice of computer science and engineering and team
work
- Develop the hallmarks of professional conduct, including a knowledge of
ethical choices, together with the confidence and strong communication skills
to lead, to follow, and to transmit ideas effectively
- Instill learning as a lifelong activity and as a means to the creative
