Session 2011-2012 President’s Message Dear engineering alumni friends, It is indeed my greatest honor and pleasure to have this opportunity to serve our Alumni Association and to work with a fantastic team of the Executive Committee consisting of alumni who are not only young, talented and committed, but also willing to help upcoming engineering graduates. I enjoy the work in the Association this year very much and like to share some of the excitement and happiness with you. Building on our tradition and past success, we had organized the Annual Ball in the New Year Eve and this year we had probably made a record in fund raising. This will not be possible without the unyielding support of our fellow alumni and friends and the hard work of Joyce and the Organising Committee. All participants had a great time at the party. The Mentorship Programme continues as a major function that connects our alumni with undergraduates. Being a mentor myself, I always take this as a cross learning opportunity from the post 90’s. At the same time, mentees find it beneficial from the interaction with their mentors. Thanks Catherine and her team in organizing the mentoring events. In addition to the well recognized functions, the Executive Committee brings in new ideas to creating more values to our young members and undergraduates. The newly formed Young Members Programme (YMP) had organized a wide range of activities, such as talks, Life Adventure Camp and Singapore Sustainable Development Trip that were well received – a great job done by Stephy and her team. Throughout these years, our Association has built a close tie with the Engineering Faculty. The Engineering Society and Engineering Alumni Association Loan Fund continue to provide support to those engineering students in need. The H.K.U. Engineering Alumni Association Scholarship was granted to 3 outstanding students to encourage them to community affairs that would broaden their horizons and enhance the development of their leadership qualities. We need your continuous support such that we can benefit more engineering students in the future. The Faculty of Engineering, as one of the two founding faculties of The University, is going to arrange a series of Centenary Celebration activities. The Association supports these functions and hope that you can join us as well. Last but not least, I would like to express my whole hearted thanks to all members of the Executive Committee who have made my life as President so relaxing. Our 38th AGM will be held on 20 July 2012. Hope that you can join us there! Ir Morris Cheung President H.K.U. Engineering Alumni Association Session 2011-2012 I. General Affairs Report i. Report of the 37th Annual General Meeting Session 2010-2011 Date: Time: Venue: Chairman: Attendance: 29/7/2011 (Friday) 7:00 pm The Chinese Club, 8/F., The Chinese Club Building, 21-22 Connaught Road Central, Hong Kong Mr. Clement TSE 37 Report of Executive Committee Meetings Session 2011-2012 Number of Executive Committee Meetings: 5 Dates: 29/7/2011, 30/8/2011, 1/12/2011, 22/3/2012, 13/6/2012 Chairman: Ir Morris S.W. CHEUNG II. Activities Report i. Graduate Mentor Scheme 2012 Founded in 2001, the Graduate Mentor Scheme (GMS) has paired up hundreds of mentors and mentees from various Engineering disciplines. It aims at cultivating a long-term friendship between HKUEAA mentors and mentees, supporting, navigating and inspiring growing young graduates through a sustainable connection with experienced alumni from different backgrounds and professions. With enthusiastic and overwhelming support from our fellow alumni and students, and the effort of our committee, GMS has successfully come to the 12th session. 1. Mentor’s Night To serve as a reunion gathering of mentors of 2011 and to promote sharing of mentorship experience between existing mentors and senior alumni, a Mentor’s Night was held on 8th October 2011 at Regal Kowloon Hotel. We are glad to have 24 mentors and alumni joining the enjoyable evening. 2. GMS Inauguration Ceremony 2012 The GMS successfully shortlisted 29 mentees through an interview on 31st March 2012. The interview targeted to recruit students who were active and willing to take initiative. We believed that such qualities would allow them to benefit from the scheme. The GMS Inauguration Ceremony 2012 was held on 14th April 2012 at Rayson Huang Theatre, HKU to symbolize the official commencement of this GMS session. During the ceremony, we gave our sincere gratitude to mentors who have been supporting GMS for years and continue to devote their time. We also welcomed new mentors and mentees. The memorable ceremony ended with a tea gathering session held in Joseph Restaurant, Graduate House, HKU. Everyone enjoyed sharing precious moments with fellow mentors and mentees in this memorable ceremony. We are certain that all of our mentors and mentees will keep on sharing and learning from each other in the coming year. ii. 36th Annual Ball – “Good Old Days” Date: Time: Venue: No. of Participants: 31st December, 2011 (Saturday) 6:30 pm Academy Room, Intercontinental Grand Stanford, Hong Kong Over 150 Description: The HKUEAA 36th Annual Ball sponsored by Excel Engineering Company Ltd. was successfully held at the Academy Room, Intercontinental Grand Stanford Hong Kong on 31st December, 2011 (Saturday). Over 150 alumni and friends joined the event, enjoying a lot in the music and dances featured by the theme of “Good Old Days”. Great performances including impromptu ones and a record high donation proved our loyalty to alma mater and support to outstanding undergraduate students in HKU Faculty of Engineering. The net profit gained from the event was over HK$160,000. We would like to express our sincere gratitude to all guests and donors for their generosity and the concerted effort of the Organizing Committee which made the Annual Ball so memorable. Look forward to seeing you in the coming Annual Ball this year! iii. Young Members’ Programme (YMP) 2011 - 12 Developed from Sustainable Development Project, Young Members’ Programme (YMP) is new to HKUEAA. To arouse the interest of engineering in current students, YMP collaborated with the HKIE and the Engineering Society HKUSU and organized two Success Sharing Seminars “I’m a/an __ Engineer” in November 2011. During the seminars, 12 engineers enlightened students how to become prominent engineers by sharing their successful stories, and encouraged students to equip themselves with both hard and soft skills and to participate in professional associations. The engineers included Civil Engineers: Ir Victor Lo and Ir Eva Kong; Manufacturing & Industrial Engineers: Ir Queenie Chan and Ir Dr. Frankie Law; Biomedical Engineer Mr. Tommy Lam; Information Technology Engineers Ir Edward Leung, Ir Michael Leung and Mr. Benjamin Lam; Electrical Engineer Ir P.K. Chan, Electronics Engineer Ir Victor Ng; Mechanical Engineer Ir Steven Lai Kam Hung and Ir Wilson Chan Hau Wing. In January 2012, YMP invited Professor Philip J. Chmielewski from Loyola Marymount University (Los Angeles, USA) to share his insights of engineering ethics, in terms of obligation to the public. Engineering students and graduateds gained skills in ethical analysis through case study, and formation of professional selves by way of an attention directed toward heroism. Apart from above, YMP also aims at developing engineering students and graduates in thinking, communicating and acting effectively. To serve these needs, YMP organized a professional ‘Mind Map Training’ taught by Dr. Gerald P. Sellinger (HKU teaching consultant) on 2 March 2012, a sharing ‘7-Habits of Highly Effective People’ by Mr. Charles L.C. HO (HKU engineering alumni; HR Training & Development professional of MTR Corporation Limited) on 3 April 2012, and a Life Adventure Camp by Panda Y.F. Lee on 21-22 April 2012. Through these social skills trainings, students and graduates have learnt a more efficient approach for their study and career development. Last but not least, YMP hosted a study tour to Singapore on 29 May - 1 June 2012 themed “High Technology Brings Out Sustainable Development”. Students had the opportunity to explore the sustainable city planning and building schemes promoted by the Singaporean public government. These included the Urban Renewal Authority Gallery in master land-use planning, HDB Gallery in sustainable housing supply and Marina Barrage in sustainable water supply. Through visits to the Institute of Engineers Singapore (IES) and various engineering companies/project sites (including ARUP and its Green-Mark awarded University Town, Samwoh Recycled Concrete and Asphalt, and AECOM’s ‘cut & fill’ tunnel site for the new ‘Downtown Line’), students gained new insights of how sustainable development in private sectors fulfils environmental-economic-social demands. Students also received valuable experience sharing by local engineers and had interactive cultural exchange, through which they were allowed to experience how the concept of sustainability is deeply rooted in Singapore people’s daily life. The above activities have successfully broadened students and young alumni’s visions and equipped them with better soft skills. This has not only promoted HKUEAA’s image in assisting engineering students in the University, but also attracted more youths to join HKUEAA upon their graduation and to help with our association. III. Publications i. Newsletter A newsletter reporting the events and activities organized by HKUEAA during the year session was published in July 2012 through emails and HKUEAA website to all members. IV. Faculty Liaison HKUEAA Scholarship i. In 2008, HKUEAA pledged to establish the HKUEAA Scholarship and donated to the Faculty of Engineering a lump sum of HK$75,000, intended to be evenly spread out and awarded to undergraduate students who display leadership qualities and show interest in community affairs in the coming five years. Each year, three undergraduates in the Faculty of Engineering will each be awarded the scholarship of HK$5,000. To select the award candidates, a selection committee comprising Dean or Associate Dean of the Faculty of Engineering, representatives from the Board of Academic Awards of the Faculty of Engineering and representatives from our Association was formed. For Session of 2011 – 12, the selection committee interviewed 9 candidates and finally decided to awarded the scholarship to Mr. Ho Wing Chung, Mr. Wong Chak Man and Miss Leung Ka Yi. ~END~ Engineering Centenary Gala Dinner This is a great opportunity for a once-in-a-lifetime reunion – the Engineering Centenary Gala Dinner! We are calling all engineering alumni, staff, and students to join this commemorative event. Details as follows: Date November 6, 2012 Time 7:30pm Dinner (possibly with pre-dinner activities; to be announced at a later stage) Venue Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre Wanchai, Hong Kong We hope that engineering alumni, staff and students will be actively supporting and participating in this event.
