Studying abroad at Charles University in Prague and then Korea University in Seoul was truly life-changing for me. At Charles, I got to explore the huge history and culture of the beautiful Czech city. The classes were enjoyable and rewarding, and I loved exploring Europe on the weekends. Then, over in Seoul, I was totally immersed in Korean life: the food, the pace, the people. It pushed me out of my comfort zone, but I made amazing friends from all over the world. Those exchange programs opened my eyes to the world in a way nothing else could. They were hands-down two of the best experiences of my life.

Overview
Description
World-Class Education Our young, forward-looking university has one of the best schools of engineering in the world, with unfailingly high global rankings. Students learn from professors with Ph.D. degrees from first-class universities around the globe, who closely follow pedagogical developments to enhance their own teaching effectiveness. With its student-centric, whole-person approach and active career guidance, the School of Engineering (SENG) has achieved leadership in teaching in both established and emerging engineering fields. SENG is also globally renowned for its research excellence.
International Professional Recognition Our high standards have won us recognition from a range of local and international professional bodies. Our programs are not only accredited by the Hong Kong Institution of Engineers but also officially recognized by more than 20 countries under the Washington Accord. These countries span the globe and include Australia, Canada, Korea, Malaysia, Singapore, New Zealand, the U.K., and the U.S. SENG programs related to IT and computing are also recognized under the Seoul Accord, with signatories including Australia, Canada, Japan, Korea, the U.K., and the U.S. Engineering degrees obtained at HKUST are widely recognized, opening up a spectrum of international job and career prospects for graduates.
The Engineering Curriculum The undergraduate engineering program lasts for 4 years. Students joining the School of Engineering via school-based admission will follow the Engineering fundamentals during their first year of study. The Engineering fundamentals comprise basic science courses, language courses, computing course and the University Common Core. In addition to these fundamentals, students will also be exposed to the applications of AI tools to various engineering disciplines through a specially designed introductory course offered by the School. Conversely, students who gain direct admission to a specific engineering department or program will have the opportunity to enroll in courses related to their engineering discipline during their first year, alongside the Engineering fundamentals. This broad-based, student-centered program allows students to take additional major or minor programs or dual degree programs covering both engineering and non-engineering topics. Students with substantial credit transfer upon admissions may be able to graduate in fewer than 4 years.

Career Prospects
Description
The School of Engineering (SENG) nurtures skilled communicators, analytical and inventive researchers, and adaptable problem-solvers capable of continuous learning. With their logical thinking, analytical skills, and creativity, graduates can excel in various positions in a range of industries, or as entrepreneurs running their own businesses. The transferable skills nurtured at SENG also enable graduates to adapt to the continuously evolving working environment of today’s fast-changing world. Degree holders can become qualified professional engineers as soon as 4 years after graduation. After obtaining a recognized degree, graduates need to undertake 2-3 years of formal training under Graduate Training Scheme “A” of the Hong Kong Institution of Engineers. Through this scheme, trainees learn through practical activities in their respective companies. Next, students need to gain 1-2 years of experience with responsibility. After these 4 years of training and experience, students can apply for Professional Assessment to become qualified professional engineers. HKUST engineering graduates are widely welcomed by employers in various sectors. Over 60% of our graduating class of 2024 had received more than one job offer at the time of graduation. While the majority of our graduates work in the engineering field and relevant industries, around 40% choose to embark on careers in the commerce and business sector, which also has a huge demand for engineering and IT talents. Those who decide to pursue further studies find themselves welcomed by programs at top universities around the world. Image

Admissions and Programs
Description
The School of Engineering adopts a dual track admission framework to provide more choices to cater for the needs of students with different academic aspirations: (1) School-based Admission Engineering with Extended Major in Artificial Intelligence (JS5282) is the school-based admission choice. Students admitted through school-based admission will be able to participate in major selection exercise through which they can enter one of the engineering departments, the BEng in Computer Engineering Program, or even one of the interdisciplinary programs that the School offers in collaboration with other Schools at HKUST. Entrance to the Department of Computer Science and Engineering or the BEng in Computer Engineering Program through major selection, though possible, is subject to competition due to a tight quota. Students with a keen interest to major in AI, computer science or computer engineering are encouraged to seek direct admission to the Department of Computer Science and Engineering or the BEng in Computer Engineering Program. Similarly, due to limited quota in the BEng in Microelectronics and Integrated Circuits Program, students with a strong interest in this area are encouraged to apply for direct admission to the Department of Electronic and Computer Engineering. Students who are admitted to Engineering with Extended Major in AI (i.e. the school-based admission choice) are also required to drop the Extended Major in AI if they join the BEng in Computer Engineering Program, the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, or the BSc in Data Science and Technology during their study at HKUST. (2) Department-based Admission Through department-based admission, students who have a confirmed interest in an engineering discipline can seek admission directly to an engineering department or the joint-department engineering program in Computer Engineering. There are 7 department-based choices –
After spending one to a few semesters of study in the Department, students will declare a major within the department that they are admitted to. With the exception of the Department of Computer Science and Engineering and the BEng in Computer Engineering Program, students admitted through department-based admission will also be able to apply to opt in the Extended Major in Artificial Intelligence after the first year of study. (* The BEng in Computer Engineering Program and all programs offered by the Department of Computer Science and Engineering do not go along with the Extended Major in Artificial Intelligence.)

"My time at HKUST Engineering was defined not only by academic rigor but also by a vibrant community that nurtured personal and professional growth. As an Engineering Student Ambassador and Peer Mentor, I had the opportunity to represent the School of Engineering, support incoming students, and foster a culture of collaboration and leadership. These roles sharpened my communication and interpersonal skills—qualities that are essential in my current role as Executive Assistant to the CEO of HAECO Hong Kong.
HKUST’s Aerospace Engineering stream also provided a strong technical foundation, and my participation in the AIAA Design/Build/Fly Competition offered valuable exposure to aircraft design and teamwork. Complementing this were internships at HAECO and Cathay Pacific, where I gained practical insights into aviation operations and maintenance. Together, these experiences have empowered me to thrive in the HAECO Graduate Trainee Programme and contribute to the aviation industry." Student Name

Description
The School of Engineering (SENG) nurtures skilled communicators, analytical and inventive researchers, and adaptable problem-solvers capable of continuous learning. With their logical thinking, analytical skills, and creativity, graduates can excel in various positions in a range of industries, or as entrepreneurs running their own businesses. The transferable skills nurtured at SENG also enable graduates to adapt to the continuously evolving working environment of today’s fast-changing world. Degree holders can become qualified professional engineers as soon as 4 years after graduation. After obtaining a recognized degree, graduates need to undertake 2-3 years of formal training under Graduate Training Scheme “A” of the Hong Kong Institution of Engineers. Through this scheme, trainees learn through practical activities in their respective companies. Next, students need to gain 1-2 years of experience with responsibility. After these 4 years of training and experience, students can apply for Professional Assessment to become qualified professional engineers. HKUST engineering graduates are widely welcomed by employers in various sectors. Over 60% of our graduating class of 2024 had received more than one job offer at the time of graduation. While the majority of our graduates work in the engineering field and relevant industries, around 40% choose to embark on careers in the commerce and business sector, which also has a huge demand for engineering and IT talents. Those who decide to pursue further studies find themselves welcomed by programs at top universities around the world. Image

Overview
Description
World-Class Education Our young, forward-looking university has one of the best schools of engineering in the world, with unfailingly high global rankings. Students learn from professors with Ph.D. degrees from first-class universities around the globe, who closely follow pedagogical developments to enhance their own teaching effectiveness. With its student-centric, whole-person approach and active career guidance, the School of Engineering (SENG) has achieved leadership in teaching in both established and emerging engineering fields. SENG is also globally renowned for its research excellence.
International Professional Recognition Our high standards have won us recognition from a range of local and international professional bodies. Our programs are not only accredited by the Hong Kong Institution of Engineers but also officially recognized by more than 20 countries under the Washington Accord. These countries span the globe and include Australia, Canada, Korea, Malaysia, Singapore, New Zealand, the U.K., and the U.S. SENG programs related to IT and computing are also recognized under the Seoul Accord, with signatories including Australia, Canada, Japan, Korea, the U.K., and the U.S. Engineering degrees obtained at HKUST are widely recognized, opening up a spectrum of international job and career prospects for graduates.
The Engineering Curriculum The undergraduate engineering program lasts for 4 years. Students joining the School of Engineering via school-based admission will follow the Engineering fundamentals during their first year of study. The Engineering fundamentals comprise basic science courses, language courses, computing course and the University Common Core. In addition to these fundamentals, students will also be exposed to the applications of AI tools to various engineering disciplines through a specially designed introductory course offered by the School. Conversely, students who gain direct admission to a specific engineering department or program will have the opportunity to enroll in courses related to their engineering discipline during their first year, alongside the Engineering fundamentals. This broad-based, student-centered program allows students to take additional major or minor programs or dual degree programs covering both engineering and non-engineering topics. Students with substantial credit transfer upon admissions may be able to graduate in fewer than 4 years.

Admissions and Programs
Description
The School of Engineering adopts a dual track admission framework to provide more choices to cater for the needs of students with different academic aspirations: (1) School-based Admission Engineering with Extended Major in Artificial Intelligence (JS5282) is the school-based admission choice. Students admitted through school-based admission will be able to participate in major selection exercise through which they can enter one of the engineering departments, the BEng in Computer Engineering Program, or even one of the interdisciplinary programs that the School offers in collaboration with other Schools at HKUST. Entrance to the Department of Computer Science and Engineering or the BEng in Computer Engineering Program through major selection, though possible, is subject to competition due to a tight quota. Students with a keen interest to major in AI, computer science or computer engineering are encouraged to seek direct admission to the Department of Computer Science and Engineering or the BEng in Computer Engineering Program. Similarly, due to limited quota in the BEng in Microelectronics and Integrated Circuits Program, students with a strong interest in this area are encouraged to apply for direct admission to the Department of Electronic and Computer Engineering. Students who are admitted to Engineering with Extended Major in AI (i.e. the school-based admission choice) are also required to drop the Extended Major in AI if they join the BEng in Computer Engineering Program, the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, or the BSc in Data Science and Technology during their study at HKUST. (2) Department-based Admission Through department-based admission, students who have a confirmed interest in an engineering discipline can seek admission directly to an engineering department or the joint-department engineering program in Computer Engineering. There are 7 department-based choices –
After spending one to a few semesters of study in the Department, students will declare a major within the department that they are admitted to. With the exception of the Department of Computer Science and Engineering and the BEng in Computer Engineering Program, students admitted through department-based admission will also be able to apply to opt in the Extended Major in Artificial Intelligence after the first year of study. (* The BEng in Computer Engineering Program and all programs offered by the Department of Computer Science and Engineering do not go along with the Extended Major in Artificial Intelligence.)

"My time at HKUST Engineering was defined not only by academic rigor but also by a vibrant community that nurtured personal and professional growth. As an Engineering Student Ambassador and Peer Mentor, I had the opportunity to represent the School of Engineering, support incoming students, and foster a culture of collaboration and leadership. These roles sharpened my communication and interpersonal skills—qualities that are essential in my current role as Executive Assistant to the CEO of HAECO Hong Kong.
HKUST’s Aerospace Engineering stream also provided a strong technical foundation, and my participation in the AIAA Design/Build/Fly Competition offered valuable exposure to aircraft design and teamwork. Complementing this were internships at HAECO and Cathay Pacific, where I gained practical insights into aviation operations and maintenance. Together, these experiences have empowered me to thrive in the HAECO Graduate Trainee Programme and contribute to the aviation industry." Student Name

"My time at HKUST Engineering was defined not only by academic rigor but also by a vibrant community that nurtured personal and professional growth. As an Engineering Student Ambassador and Peer Mentor, I had the opportunity to represent the School of Engineering, support incoming students, and foster a culture of collaboration and leadership. These roles sharpened my communication and interpersonal skills—qualities that are essential in my current role as Executive Assistant to the CEO of HAECO Hong Kong.
HKUST’s Aerospace Engineering stream also provided a strong technical foundation, and my participation in the AIAA Design/Build/Fly Competition offered valuable exposure to aircraft design and teamwork. Complementing this were internships at HAECO and Cathay Pacific, where I gained practical insights into aviation operations and maintenance. Together, these experiences have empowered me to thrive in the HAECO Graduate Trainee Programme and contribute to the aviation industry." Student Name

Overview
Description
World-Class Education Our young, forward-looking university has one of the best schools of engineering in the world, with unfailingly high global rankings. Students learn from professors with Ph.D. degrees from first-class universities around the globe, who closely follow pedagogical developments to enhance their own teaching effectiveness. With its student-centric, whole-person approach and active career guidance, the School of Engineering (SENG) has achieved leadership in teaching in both established and emerging engineering fields. SENG is also globally renowned for its research excellence.
International Professional Recognition Our high standards have won us recognition from a range of local and international professional bodies. Our programs are not only accredited by the Hong Kong Institution of Engineers but also officially recognized by more than 20 countries under the Washington Accord. These countries span the globe and include Australia, Canada, Korea, Malaysia, Singapore, New Zealand, the U.K., and the U.S. SENG programs related to IT and computing are also recognized under the Seoul Accord, with signatories including Australia, Canada, Japan, Korea, the U.K., and the U.S. Engineering degrees obtained at HKUST are widely recognized, opening up a spectrum of international job and career prospects for graduates.
The Engineering Curriculum The undergraduate engineering program lasts for 4 years. Students joining the School of Engineering via school-based admission will follow the Engineering fundamentals during their first year of study. The Engineering fundamentals comprise basic science courses, language courses, computing course and the University Common Core. In addition to these fundamentals, students will also be exposed to the applications of AI tools to various engineering disciplines through a specially designed introductory course offered by the School. Conversely, students who gain direct admission to a specific engineering department or program will have the opportunity to enroll in courses related to their engineering discipline during their first year, alongside the Engineering fundamentals. This broad-based, student-centered program allows students to take additional major or minor programs or dual degree programs covering both engineering and non-engineering topics. Students with substantial credit transfer upon admissions may be able to graduate in fewer than 4 years.

Career Prospects
Description
The School of Engineering (SENG) nurtures skilled communicators, analytical and inventive researchers, and adaptable problem-solvers capable of continuous learning. With their logical thinking, analytical skills, and creativity, graduates can excel in various positions in a range of industries, or as entrepreneurs running their own businesses. The transferable skills nurtured at SENG also enable graduates to adapt to the continuously evolving working environment of today’s fast-changing world. Degree holders can become qualified professional engineers as soon as 4 years after graduation. After obtaining a recognized degree, graduates need to undertake 2-3 years of formal training under Graduate Training Scheme “A” of the Hong Kong Institution of Engineers. Through this scheme, trainees learn through practical activities in their respective companies. Next, students need to gain 1-2 years of experience with responsibility. After these 4 years of training and experience, students can apply for Professional Assessment to become qualified professional engineers. HKUST engineering graduates are widely welcomed by employers in various sectors. Over 60% of our graduating class of 2024 had received more than one job offer at the time of graduation. While the majority of our graduates work in the engineering field and relevant industries, around 40% choose to embark on careers in the commerce and business sector, which also has a huge demand for engineering and IT talents. Those who decide to pursue further studies find themselves welcomed by programs at top universities around the world. Image

Admissions and Programs
Description
The School of Engineering adopts a dual track admission framework to provide more choices to cater for the needs of students with different academic aspirations: (1) School-based Admission Engineering with Extended Major in Artificial Intelligence (JS5282) is the school-based admission choice. Students admitted through school-based admission will be able to participate in major selection exercise through which they can enter one of the engineering departments, the BEng in Computer Engineering Program, or even one of the interdisciplinary programs that the School offers in collaboration with other Schools at HKUST. Entrance to the Department of Computer Science and Engineering or the BEng in Computer Engineering Program through major selection, though possible, is subject to competition due to a tight quota. Students with a keen interest to major in AI, computer science or computer engineering are encouraged to seek direct admission to the Department of Computer Science and Engineering or the BEng in Computer Engineering Program. Similarly, due to limited quota in the BEng in Microelectronics and Integrated Circuits Program, students with a strong interest in this area are encouraged to apply for direct admission to the Department of Electronic and Computer Engineering. Students who are admitted to Engineering with Extended Major in AI (i.e. the school-based admission choice) are also required to drop the Extended Major in AI if they join the BEng in Computer Engineering Program, the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, or the BSc in Data Science and Technology during their study at HKUST. (2) Department-based Admission Through department-based admission, students who have a confirmed interest in an engineering discipline can seek admission directly to an engineering department or the joint-department engineering program in Computer Engineering. There are 7 department-based choices –
After spending one to a few semesters of study in the Department, students will declare a major within the department that they are admitted to. With the exception of the Department of Computer Science and Engineering and the BEng in Computer Engineering Program, students admitted through department-based admission will also be able to apply to opt in the Extended Major in Artificial Intelligence after the first year of study.

Overview
Description
World-Class Education Our young, forward-looking university has one of the best schools of engineering in the world, with unfailingly high global rankings. Students learn from professors with Ph.D. degrees from first-class universities around the globe, who closely follow pedagogical developments to enhance their own teaching effectiveness. With its student-centric, whole-person approach and active career guidance, the School of Engineering (SENG) has achieved leadership in teaching in both established and emerging engineering fields. SENG is also globally renowned for its research excellence.
International Professional Recognition Our high standards have won us recognition from a range of local and international professional bodies. Our programs are not only accredited by the Hong Kong Institution of Engineers but also officially recognized by more than 20 countries under the Washington Accord. These countries span the globe and include Australia, Canada, Korea, Malaysia, Singapore, New Zealand, the U.K., and the U.S. SENG programs related to IT and computing are also recognized under the Seoul Accord, with signatories including Australia, Canada, Japan, Korea, the U.K., and the U.S. Engineering degrees obtained at HKUST are widely recognized, opening up a spectrum of international job and career prospects for graduates.
The Engineering Curriculum The undergraduate engineering program lasts for 4 years. Students joining the School of Engineering via school-based admission will follow the Engineering fundamentals during their first year of study. The Engineering fundamentals comprise basic science courses, language courses, computing course and the University Common Core. In addition to these fundamentals, students will also be exposed to the applications of AI tools to various engineering disciplines through a specially designed introductory course offered by the School. Conversely, students who gain direct admission to a specific engineering department or program will have the opportunity to enroll in courses related to their engineering discipline during their first year, alongside the Engineering fundamentals. This broad-based, student-centered program allows students to take additional major or minor programs or dual degree programs covering both engineering and non-engineering topics. Students with substantial credit transfer upon admissions may be able to graduate in fewer than 4 years.

Career Prospects
Description
The School of Engineering (SENG) nurtures skilled communicators, analytical and inventive researchers, and adaptable problem-solvers capable of continuous learning. With their logical thinking, analytical skills, and creativity, graduates can excel in various positions in a range of industries, or as entrepreneurs running their own businesses. The transferable skills nurtured at SENG also enable graduates to adapt to the continuously evolving working environment of today’s fast-changing world. Degree holders can become qualified professional engineers as soon as 4 years after graduation. After obtaining a recognized degree, graduates need to undertake 2-3 years of formal training under Graduate Training Scheme “A” of the Hong Kong Institution of Engineers. Through this scheme, trainees learn through practical activities in their respective companies. Next, students need to gain 1-2 years of experience with responsibility. After these 4 years of training and experience, students can apply for Professional Assessment to become qualified professional engineers. HKUST engineering graduates are widely welcomed by employers in various sectors. Over 60% of our graduating class of 2024 had received more than one job offer at the time of graduation. While the majority of our graduates work in the engineering field and relevant industries, around 40% choose to embark on careers in the commerce and business sector, which also has a huge demand for engineering and IT talents. Those who decide to pursue further studies find themselves welcomed by programs at top universities around the world. Image

Admissions and Programs
Description
The School of Engineering adopts a dual track admission framework to provide more choices to cater for the needs of students with different academic aspirations: (1) School-based Admission Engineering with Extended Major in Artificial Intelligence (JS5282) is the school-based admission choice. Students admitted through school-based admission will be able to participate in major selection exercise through which they can enter one of the engineering departments, the BEng in Computer Engineering Program, or even one of the interdisciplinary programs that the School offers in collaboration with other Schools at HKUST. Entrance to the Department of Computer Science and Engineering or the BEng in Computer Engineering Program through major selection, though possible, is subject to competition due to a tight quota. Students with a keen interest to major in AI, computer science or computer engineering are encouraged to seek direct admission to the Department of Computer Science and Engineering or the BEng in Computer Engineering Program. Similarly, due to limited quota in the BEng in Microelectronics and Integrated Circuits Program, students with a strong interest in this area are encouraged to apply for direct admission to the Department of Electronic and Computer Engineering. Students who are admitted to Engineering with Extended Major in AI (i.e. the school-based admission choice) are also required to drop the Extended Major in AI if they join the BEng in Computer Engineering Program, the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, or the BSc in Data Science and Technology during their study at HKUST. (2) Department-based Admission Through department-based admission, students who have a confirmed interest in an engineering discipline can seek admission directly to an engineering department or the joint-department engineering program in Computer Engineering. There are 7 department-based choices –
After spending one to a few semesters of study in the Department, students will declare a major within the department that they are admitted to. With the exception of the Department of Computer Science and Engineering and the BEng in Computer Engineering Program, students admitted through department-based admission will also be able to apply to opt in the Extended Major in Artificial Intelligence after the first year of study. (* The BEng in Computer Engineering Program and all programs offered by the Department of Computer Science and Engineering do not go along with the Extended Major in Artificial Intelligence.)

"My time at HKUST Engineering was defined not only by academic rigor but also by a vibrant community that nurtured personal and professional growth. As an Engineering Student Ambassador and Peer Mentor, I had the opportunity to represent the School of Engineering, support incoming students, and foster a culture of collaboration and leadership. These roles sharpened my communication and interpersonal skills—qualities that are essential in my current role as Executive Assistant to the CEO of HAECO Hong Kong.
HKUST’s Aerospace Engineering stream also provided a strong technical foundation, and my participation in the AIAA Design/Build/Fly Competition offered valuable exposure to aircraft design and teamwork. Complementing this were internships at HAECO and Cathay Pacific, where I gained practical insights into aviation operations and maintenance. Together, these experiences have empowered me to thrive in the HAECO Graduate Trainee Programme and contribute to the aviation industry." Student Name

Studying abroad at Charles University in Prague and then Korea University in Seoul was truly life-changing for me. At Charles, I got to explore the huge history and culture of the beautiful Czech city. The classes were enjoyable and rewarding, and I loved exploring Europe on the weekends. Then, over in Seoul, I was totally immersed in Korean life: the food, the pace, the people. It pushed me out of my comfort zone, but I made amazing friends from all over the world. Those exchange programs opened my eyes to the world in a way nothing else could. They were hands-down two of the best experiences of my life.

Students joining the School of Engineering via school-based admission will follow the Engineering fundamentals during their first year of study. The Engineering fundamentals comprise basic science courses, language courses, computing course and the University Common Core. In addition to these fundamentals, students will also be exposed to the applications of AI tools to various engineering disciplines through a specially designed introductory course offered by the School. Conversely, students who gain direct admission to a specific engineering department or program will have the opportunity to enroll in courses related to their engineering discipline during their first year, alongside the Engineering fundamentals. This broad-based, student-centered program allows students to take additional major or minor programs or dual degree programs covering both engineering and non-engineering topics. Students with substantial credit transfer upon admissions may be able to graduate in fewer than 4 years.

Career Prospects
Description
The School of Engineering (SENG) nurtures skilled communicators, analytical and inventive researchers, and adaptable problem-solvers capable of continuous learning. With their logical thinking, analytical skills, and creativity, graduates can excel in various positions in a range of industries, or as entrepreneurs running their own businesses. The transferable skills nurtured at SENG also enable graduates to adapt to the continuously evolving working environment of today’s fast-changing world. Degree holders can become qualified professional engineers as soon as 4 years after graduation. After obtaining a recognized degree, graduates need to undertake 2-3 years of formal training under Graduate Training Scheme “A” of the Hong Kong Institution of Engineers. Through this scheme, trainees learn through practical activities in their respective companies. Next, students need to gain 1-2 years of experience with responsibility. After these 4 years of training and experience, students can apply for Professional Assessment to become qualified professional engineers. HKUST engineering graduates are widely welcomed by employers in various sectors. Over 60% of our graduating class of 2024 had received more than one job offer at the time of graduation. While the majority of our graduates work in the engineering field and relevant industries, around 40% choose to embark on careers in the commerce and business sector, which also has a huge demand for engineering and IT talents. Those who decide to pursue further studies find themselves welcomed by programs at top universities around the world. Image

Admissions and Programs
Description
The School of Engineering adopts a dual track admission framework to provide more choices to cater for the needs of students with different academic aspirations: (1) School-based Admission Engineering with Extended Major in Artificial Intelligence (JS5282) is the school-based admission choice. Students admitted through school-based admission will be able to participate in major selection exercise through which they can enter one of the engineering departments, the BEng in Computer Engineering Program, or even one of the interdisciplinary programs that the School offers in collaboration with other Schools at HKUST. Entrance to the Department of Computer Science and Engineering or the BEng in Computer Engineering Program through major selection, though possible, is subject to competition due to a tight quota. Students with a keen interest to major in AI, computer science or computer engineering are encouraged to seek direct admission to the Department of Computer Science and Engineering or the BEng in Computer Engineering Program. Similarly, due to limited quota in the BEng in Microelectronics and Integrated Circuits Program, students with a strong interest in this area are encouraged to apply for direct admission to the Department of Electronic and Computer Engineering. Students who are admitted to Engineering with Extended Major in AI (i.e. the school-based admission choice) are also required to drop the Extended Major in AI if they join the BEng in Computer Engineering Program, the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, or the BSc in Data Science and Technology during their study at HKUST. (2) Department-based Admission Through department-based admission, students who have a confirmed interest in an engineering discipline can seek admission directly to an engineering department or the joint-department engineering program in Computer Engineering. There are 7 department-based choices –
After spending one to a few semesters of study in the Department, students will declare a major within the department that they are admitted to. With the exception of the Department of Computer Science and Engineering and the BEng in Computer Engineering Program, students admitted through department-based admission will also be able to apply to opt in the Extended Major in Artificial Intelligence after the first year of study. (* The BEng in Computer Engineering Program and all programs offered by the Department of Computer Science and Engineering do not go along with the Extended Major in Artificial Intelligence.)

"My time at HKUST Engineering was defined not only by academic rigor but also by a vibrant community that nurtured personal and professional growth. As an Engineering Student Ambassador and Peer Mentor, I had the opportunity to represent the School of Engineering, support incoming students, and foster a culture of collaboration and leadership. These roles sharpened my communication and interpersonal skills—qualities that are essential in my current role as Executive Assistant to the CEO of HAECO Hong Kong.
HKUST’s Aerospace Engineering stream also provided a strong technical foundation, and my participation in the AIAA Design/Build/Fly Competition offered valuable exposure to aircraft design and teamwork. Complementing this were internships at HAECO and Cathay Pacific, where I gained practical insights into aviation operations and maintenance. Together, these experiences have empowered me to thrive in the HAECO Graduate Trainee Programme and contribute to the aviation industry." Student Name
