Over 60 top overseas and Mainland students enjoyed a week-long visit to the School of Engineering in July 2015. The SENG Summer Camp for Elite Students, co-organized by the School, departments and programs, was arranged to provide top-caliber undergraduate and master’s students with greater insight into the School’s research postgraduate programs and to increase diversity of the student body.
Camp activities included leadership training sessions, introductory talks on HKUST postgraduate programs, campus tours, industry visits, interactive sessions with postgraduate students, and off-campus sight-seeing to give participants first-hand knowledge of the School and Hong Kong.
Students from Mainland China and overseas countries, including Brazil, India, Iran, Japan, Mexico, Turkey and Venezuela, took part. Those attending came from top institutions, such as Peking University and Fudan University in Mainland China, Kobe University in Japan, University of Sao Paulo in Brazil, and Bogazici University in Turkey, among others.
