This booklet is prepared to keep our friends and alumni abreast of the many achievements and developments of the Department of Building and Real Estate of The Hong Kong Polytechnic University in the academic year of 2009/10.

As part of the Quality Assurance Process, BRE has undergone a Departmental Review in May 2010. The Panel formed a very positive opinion of our performance in various areas. In terms of research outputs and teaching, the Department compares favourably with our counterparts in other leading institutions internationally. We shall continue to strive for new heights in the years ahead and stay competitive in the dynamic and changing environment.

One of the over-arching goals of the Department is to provide the best possible educational programmes to our students to meet the needs of the region and beyond. With the shift to a four-year undergraduate programme, we are dedicated to providing a broad-based education for all our students as well as a sound discipline-specific foundation for their studies. Our programmes are ready for validation and professional accreditation within this calendar year.

On the research front, we have successfully secured competitive funding for 5 new projects, from the RGC’s General Research Fund, formerly known as Competitive Earmarked Research Grants or CERGs. A further HK$2.2M was awarded by the

BiographyProf Li has established an international reputation in the area of construction management research through developing innovative IT solutions to enhance project delivery processes. He probably holds the highest record of journal papers and citations in his research field. His recent research interest has been developing the construction cirtual prototyping technology. Virtual Prototyping or VP technology enables contractors to identify construction problems and explore possible solutions and improvements to the construction plan before the actual work begins. His future research plan is to adapt the business model of IKEA furniture shops that seamlessly integrates design and on-site installation, in order to further reduce the management costs of a construction project. He envisages that VP technology would provide a natural interface to all stages of a project lifecycle, and that the overall efficiency and effectiveness of the Hong Kong construction industry can be improved by the use of this technology.

Teaching areas Building Maintenance and Operation, Construction Materials, Building Maintenance for Sustainability

Research interestsStructural and Material Testing (especially Forced Vibration/ Modal Testing, Building Diagnostics and Condition Monitoring based on a Host of Non-destructive Testing (NDT) such as Infrared Thermography, Ultrasonics and Electromagnetic (EM) Wave), GFRP (for Strengthening of Concrete Structures), Harnessing of Solar Energy by Fluid-Filled Double-Glazed Glass Panels in Windows (for Building Sustainability)

BiographyDr Tsang has very wide interests as shown in the list of areas of interests. He previously worked as a government scientist for the UK Ministry of Defense (attached to the Royal Navy) before returning to HK. His personal philosophy is encapsulated in a well-known English idiom, “Seeing is Believing”. This idiom emphasizes that “only physical or concrete evidence is convincing” and asserts the need for experimental testing. Indeed, any theory/assertion needs to be tested/validated before it can be accepted as “true” or “real”. He also believes that “real performance/behaviours of materials/structures/systems can only be determined through testing”. This philosophy very much underpins and intertwines with his teaching and research. NDT techniques allow one to investigate/probe the subject of investigation without damaging or destructive actions. The extra information obtained through acoustic, thermal, EM and vibration allows one to understand more and to identify the real problems (which are usually hidden from direct sighting) with the subject of investigation. He also believes the need to advance the frontier of science and technology by exploring new techniques as well as adopting innovative approaches.

STUDENT EXCHANGE WORKSHOP

Asian Coalition for Building Science and Construction Engineering Workshop (ACBC Workshop) “Three Wonderful Days in Seoul”In late September 2009, we (students of BSc(Hons) Building Engineering and Management of the Department) spent 3 days at the University of Seoul. We, together with students from the University of Seoul and others from Osaka University, took part in the 4th ‘Asian Coalition for Building Science and Construction Engineering Workshop 2009’ (ACBC Workshop).

The ACBC Workshop has been an annual event since 2006. Its objective is for the students from the three universities to interact and collaborate, so as to enhance our adaptation to globalization. The theme of the 4th workshop was ‘High-Rise Building in Asia’. At the end of the workshop, the students from Hong Kong, Japan and Korea had to present in three groups the ideas and knowledge acquired, an exercise which also gave us the chance for a greater exposure to other cultures and practices. Although the workshop ended, the academic networking and friendship thus formed should be helpful to all the students concerned not only in our local contexts, but also when we work abroad.

Altogether 19 students participated in this workshop. We also visited Northeast Asia Trade Tower (NEATT) in the Incheon Free Economic Zone (IFEZ) which was still under construction, and on completion would be Korea’s tallest building. On top of the benefits in academic terms, we also experienced campus life at the University of Seoul, and enjoyed authentic Korean cuisine as well.

Some Highlights Kai Shing Management Services Ltd.

The Department is thankful for the caring support rendered by Kai Shing Management Services Ltd. to our undergraduates in Property Management. A total number of 24 students took their WIE activities in various sites, including landmark premises such as ICC office tower, APM shopping mall and The Vineyard residential development. All students very much treasured the valuable opportunities and guidance offered in real-work situations.

Swire PropertiesBRE has taken a step forward in collaboration with Swire Properties to nurture preferred graduates for the industry. Two Surveying students were selected to join the Swire Summer Internship Programme.

Overseas Placement Regarding overseas experience, there were WIE placements in Abu Dhabi, Dubai last year. This year, one surveying student has a placement in Toronto. He also paid a visit to the offices of DTZ. Local media has covered this group of interns including PolyU students and other universities’ students in the news report from Sing Tao Daily (with acknowledgements).

WORK-INTEGRATED EDUCATION (WIE)

a compulsory placement scheme, has been a platform for employers in the industry to meet summer interns from our department. With gratitude, the arrangement of WIE activities was only slightly affected by the weak economic situation this year. With close support from the industry, 105 students took WIE this summer.

The Department hereby expresses our heartfelt gratitude to the following employers for their generous opportunities and supervision provided to our Surveying and Property Management students.

The Department hereby expresses our heartfelt gratitude to the supporting employers.


For the academic year of 2009/2010, there were 55 Building Surveyors, 32 Quantity Surveyors, 29 General Practice Surveyors, 24 Engineers and 6 Housing Managers actively playing the role of mentors. The Department’s well-developed alumni network and strong links with the industry are crucial to the success of the Mentorship Scheme. Most importantly, its success cannot go on without the mentors’ unwavering support and active participation.

In light of the academic re-structuring, the Department has revamped the Mentorship Scheme for all full time students of the three Degree programmes of Surveying, Property Management and Building Engineering and Management. The mentors are professionals in the fields of building engineering, building surveying, general practice surveying, quantity surveying and property management. All of them are very experienced and hold senior positions in their respective fields. The Department is proud that each year, it has full support from around 150 mentors, with about 350 BRE students benefiting from the Scheme.

MENTORSHIP SCHEME

The Mentorship Scheme for BRE Students entered its eleventh year in 2009/2010As the first Mentorship Scheme launched in The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, the BRE Mentorship Scheme has proudly stepped into its eleventh year. The Mentorship Scheme aims to enable the BRE students to have early exposure to the industry and career guidance by individual mentoring. As a Chinese saying reminds us all — 良師益友, mentors under this Scheme play not only the role of ‘Good Teachers’ but also of ‘Valuable Friends’ to students. Through a friendly and close mentoring relationship, the students can learn a lot from their ‘good teachers’, especially through their mentors’ expertise and sharing of ups and downs with their ‘valuable friends’. Under this Scheme, students have good opportunities to be geared well to the needs of professional communities. Besides, this Scheme helps nurture new blood for the development of future professionals in the industry and offers an ideal platform for employers to explore the calibre of potential employees
