Owing to the local topography, tall buildings are often built in close proximity to slopes, causing difficulties in both design and construction. This major aims at equipping students with a solid foundation to work as a civil engineer. The major covers a wide spectrum of topics, for examples, construction technology, geotechnical engineering, structural engineering, engineering management, transportation engineering, hydraulic engineering and environmental engineering. Being one of the most dense cities in the world, modern buildings need to provide a safe, healthy and comfortable indoor environment for their use. Building services engineering consists of the design, manufacturing, installation, commissioning and maintenance of mechanical and electrical systems in buildings. It is an integrated major that includes such expertise such as: heating, ventilation and air-conditioning, electrical installation, fire engineering, piped services. The major aims at equipping students with land, property, construction, and environmental knowledge of the construction industry. It is an integrated construction engineering major that embraces a variety of construction expertise such as construction management, economics and science, structural engineering, material science, building technology and construction contracts. The Surveying major aims at equipping students with knowledge of land, property, and construction for a career in surveying. The major provides integrated training for construction and real estate, especially for quantity surveyors who manage the construction cost and building surveyors who survey the building performance and conditions. This major aims to provide internationally recognized architectural training to support Hong Kong’s move to a world class city. It is designed to equip students with the concept of full integration between various disciplines within architecture and the building industry.

Associate of Science in Government-Funded Programme Architectural Studies Department of Architecture and Civil Engineering Architecture is a profession which is concerned with the design of our built environment – principally buildings of various kinds. Building design involves the creative arrangement of three-dimensional form and space which can be constructed to provide a fitting and comfortable environment for various human activities and experiences. It is concerned with the design of both the internal spaces and the external appearance of buildings. To do this would require knowledge and skills in many areas, such as how space and form can be arranged and organised to accommodate human activities, how materials and components can be assembled into an enclosure which is stable and safe for human occupation, and how the above can be done in a way that the overall effect is delightful and attractive. In other words, building design requires an understanding of people, technology and beauty, and it requires creativity and imagination so that the above can be integrated in an original and innovative manner. Government-Funded Programme Associate of Science in Architectural Studies The principal aim of the Associate of Science in Architectural Studies programme is to provide a sound education and training for students to become technically competent personnel in the architectural profession, who possess: knowledge and practical skills in the areas of design, communication, environmental science, society and culture, building technology and professional practice + intellectual abilities and transferable skills to communicate effectively, analyse information critically, and solve problems independently Our graduates are expected to have a broad-based academic foundation and practical skills in architectural studies to enter into an international workplace or continuing education in local and overseas universities. Combines innovative Problem-Based Learning techniques with traditional studio project-based architectural learning to encourage knowledge discovery and design innovation in students Consists of a series of problem / project studios where students acquire knowledge and skills through working on real-life problems in small groups of 5-6 students, and creative building projects individually Allows students to take an active role in their education and extends learning to beyond the classroom Enriches students’ learning experience and encourages whole person development through a variety of co-curricular + extra-curricular activities, such as overseas study tours, technical visits, exchange programmes, summer internship, community work, and many more Technical Studies Professional Practice Building Industry Building Structures Building Construction Materials and Detailing, etc Building and Development Control Communication Studies Sketching Manual and CAD Drafting Building Procurement, etc. Model Making, etc. Integrated Architectural Studios Studio Projects + Problem Cases Social Studies Appreciation of Architecture Environmental Studies Energy and Environment Sustainable Design Building Services, etc. Architectural History Co-curricular Activities Site / Building Visits Overseas Study Tours Academic Exchange, etc. Social Factors in Design, etc. Professional Recognition Hong Kong Institute of Architects Membership# Further Studies Practical Training Master of Architecture (M Arch)* (Local or Overseas) Chartered Institute of Architectural Technologists Associate Membership# Hong Kong Institute of Architects Student Membership# Career Prospects Employment: Architect’s Office Interior Design Firm Government Departments Contractors Suppliers Practical Training^ Bachelor Degree in Architectural Studies* Full-time or Part-time (Local) Fulll-time (Overseas) Associate of Science in Architectural Studies (AScAS) Full-time Our programme is recognized by local universities and many overseas institutions for admission with advanced standing.
