148 Part 5 • Department Profiles and Programmes of Studies Faculty of Engineering Department of Automation and Computer-aided Engineering Tel.: 2609 8337 Fax.: 2603 6002 E-mail: dept@acae.cuhk.edu.hk Website: http://www.acae.cuhk.edu.hk The department offers two programmes. The Automation and Computer-aided Engineering Programme is designed to prepare graduates who are particularly well trained in the use of computer technology and engineering principles for the design, analysis, planning, control, and management of engineering projects. It provides basic knowledge in electronics, mechanics, computing, and the know-how to integrate these technologies for solving engineering problems. Its core courses and training come in two streams, namely the Automation Stream and the Computer-aided Engineering Stream. Both have state-of-the-art technologies in automation and up-to-date computer-aided technologies as the core elements. The graduates will be able to take up jobs as systems, automation, software, and design engineers, as well as interface designers in industry, government, hospitals, and research institutes. They can also continue their studies in the department for MPhil or PhD degrees specializing in one of the areas. The Innovation and Design Engineering Programme aims at training students in translating the needs of society into products using creative and analytical design methods. Graduates are expected to be able to design not only the exterior of a product, but also its functional components. The programme covers three major areas: fundamental knowledge in engineering, innovation and creative design techniques, fundamentals of computing techniques and applications in product design. The graduates will be able to assume the roles of product designers, or systems designers. Department of Computer Science and Engineering Tel.: 2609 8440 Fax.: 2603 5302 E-mail: dept@cse.cuhk.edu.hk Website: http://www.cse.cuhk.edu.hk The Department of Computer Science and Engineering, the first such department in local tertiary institutions, offers both undergraduate and postgraduate programmes. Its computer science programme leads to the BSc degree while its computer engineering programme leads to the BEng degree. The department possesses the most up-to-date equipment for computer science and computer engineering research, and many of its graduates are leaders in industry and commerce both in Hong Kong and overseas.
