Department Profiles • Engineering 107 with a strong industrial background. Research and education activities are supported by the many state-of-the-art research laboratories and teaching facilities in the department, which is further expanded with the completion of Phase II of the Engineering Building. The department currently offers an HKIE-accredited undergraduate BEng (Hon) programme as well as graduate programmes at the master and doctoral levels. The undergraduate programme provides solid training in engineering fundamentals as well as specializations such as telecommunications, Internet engineering, and information processing. The graduate programme consists of research-oriented courses leading to MPhil and PhD degrees and a part-time taught programme leading to an MSc. Some graduates further their studies in the MPhil and PhD programmes of top universities such as MIT, Stanford, and Oxford. Past graduates of the department have been successful in both industry and academia. Some have founded their own businesses, while others serve as senior executives, chief technology officers, and professors. Department of Systems Engineering and Engineering Management Tel.: 2609 8215/8313 Fax.: 2603 5505 E-mail: dept@se.cuhk.edu.hk Website: http://www.se.cuhk.edu.hk Established in 1991, the department is the first of its kind in Hong Kong. Its undergraduate programme in systems engineering and engineering management, which leads to the BEng degree, has four streams of specialization: e-commerce systems, financial engineering, information systems, and logistics and supply chain management. Underlying all streams is the common theme of developing and applying engineering methodologies and information technologies to decision-making and problem solving in complex systems in business, industry, and the public sector. At the graduate level, the department offers programmes leading to the degrees of MSc, MPhil, and PhD in systems engineering and engineering management. The department is also actively engaged in research related to decision methodology and operations, logistics and supply chain management, e-commerce technologies, information systems, engineering management, and financial engineering.
