SENG Ambassadors to Visit Schools
The 2nd SENG Student Ambassador Program got underway on 14 April with a training workshop conducted by Prof Edmond Ko, Senior Advisor to the Dean of Engineering, and an inauguration lunch. A total of 29 student ambassadors have been nominated to visit secondary schools and assist recruitment over the year.
Workshop topics included knowledge of HKUST and business etiquette and professionalism. There was also an experience-sharing session in which three inaugural SENG ambassadors explained how working on the program had helped to build their own communication skills and confidence as well as give school students more understanding of engineering and university life.
Dean Philip Chan said the first program had been a great success with student ambassadors proving a valuable way to widen interest in engineering among young people.
