When I tell prospective students about our Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering (MAE) programs at HKUST, their eyes light up at a surprising feature – not just our wind tunnels or robotics labs, but how they can first experience these facilities through their smartphones or tablets. Welcome to engineering education reimagined, where augmented reality (AR) and artificial intelligence (AI) transform how our students learn and prepare for their engineering careers.

A delegation from the Technology and Engineering Center for Space Utilization of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CSU.CAS), responsible for China's manned space research and application projects, visited the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) today. During the visit, they met with the university's senior management and faculty, culminating in the signing of a framework agreement designed to enhance collaboration in five critical areas: establishing a joint laboratory, promoting research partnerships, co-sharing research facilities and systems, facilitating talent development, and fostering international cooperation. By combining their respective strengths and resources, the agreement seeks to jointly advance research and technology in aerospace engineering, contributing to the nation's space endeavors.

A study led by the School of Engineering of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) has developed a groundbreaking thermal-electric aerosol (TEA) printer that significantly accelerates piezoelectric biofilm manufacturing. Achieving a speed that is two orders of magnitude faster than existing technologies, this innovation paves the way for the industrial-scale production of biocompatible and biodegradable electronics, with medical applications such as ultrasonic energy harvesters for postoperative cardiac patients.

The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) announced today its appointment by the China National Space Administration (CNSA) to spearhead an international collaboration project for the Chang'E 8 mission. By uniting global aerospace experts, the HKUST-led team is set to produce a multi-functional lunar surface operation robot capable of dexterous operations with a mobile charging station that promises to make significant contributions to the nation’s lunar exploration initiatives.  

The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) warmly welcomed nine members of the China Manned Space delegation, who visited the University today and engaged in lively exchanges and discussions with about 400 faculty and students on topics related to space exploration. 

The satellite "HKUST-FYBB#1" will be used for tracking remote sensing data related to global environment, disaster and sustainable development.
