The Story of ENGG1101

The students of ENGG1101 tackle real challenges through prototype building, live pitching, teamwork, iterative problem-solving, and senior-to-junior mentoring.

01

Our Year-1 students are solving Hong Kong's real engineering challenges.

“I learnt a lot of new things about engineering - from drones to 3D printing.”

No two projects looked the same - creativity was never optional.

Being able to actually build something rather than just studying theory has been exciting.

They didn't just build it, they had to convince a real audience.

It was amazing to build a robotic arm from scratch and design algorithm to make it move.

A year-long team project is a leader ship challenge, not just group work.

The workshop is really interesting - I can train my cooperation skills with my teammates.

When they hit a wall, they figured out how to climb over it themselves.

I like the active learning aspect. It allowed me to network adn have fun while learning.

Year-2+ students came back to teach the next cohort unprompted.

Help me understand engineering in a pratical way.
