College of Engineering covers a vibrant spectrum of engineering fields and promotes academic synergy. The College has eight academic units, offering academic programmes in diverse engineering disciplines. In addition to other routes that students would choose to directly enter individual departments of the College, the JS1217 option offers a free choice of major to students. Upon admission via JS1217, students can choose any major in the College right before starting their first year of study. They will have guaranteed places for internships and overseas exchange. Besides taking their chosen major, students will be required to take a minor named "Minor in Engineering Entrepreneurship". This minor aims to introduce engineering students to the fundamentals of technology-based engineering entrepreneurship, to help students nurture an entrepreneurial mindset, innovative and systems thinking, and to broaden their multi-disciplinary perspectives. Together with the knowledge and skills learned in the majors, this minor will present an alternative career path to engineering graduates from engineers to entrepreneurs, patent lawyers, or technology commercialization agents.
Teams consisting of students admitted via JS1217 nominated by the course leader of GE2304 Foundations of Innovation and Entrepreneurship could receive a Direct Offer of HK Tech 300 Seed Fund, which will provide up to HK$100,000 to develop innovative ideas into a start-up.
Entrance Requirements for JUPAS Applicants
To be considered for admission, you must satisfy the minimum entrance requirements.
Admission Arrangements for JUPAS Applicants
Students admitted to the College of Engineering through JS1217 are given a free choice of major upon acceptance of our offers. They will be enrolled in one of the departments before starting their first year of study. For departments offering one single major (i.e., Departments of Advanced Design and Systems Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, Computer Science, Materials Science and Engineering), students will be enrolled in the major in the first year. For other departments with more than one major (i.e., Departments of Architecture and Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering), students will be enrolled in the department in the first year and enter a major according to their wishes in the second year.
