Overview

Over the last 50 years, the Department of Mechanical Engineering of the University of Hong Kong has been nurturing talents and leaders in a great variety of industries including utility services, building services, manufacturing, aircraft maintenance and environmental consultant services, both locally and regionally. Our curriculum is structured in response to technological advances in the field and societal needs. Since early times mechanical engineers have been responsible for the creation of complex structures and machines, such as ships, airplanes, cars, machine tools and heat engines. Over the past few decades, the accelerated growth in scientific knowledge and technology has brought about a significant change in mechanical engineering both in its education and practice as a profession.
