Academic Advising Activities

 

The proposed activities include workshop and seminar that invited experts from leaders in the industry to provide information and professional views on the recognition of ISE programmes in Hong Kong industry. This helped PEM students to understand the Industrial and Systems Engineering disciplines in Hong Kong and helped them to recognize the career opportunities and professional development. On the other hand, the proposed activities invited final year students and graduates to share their WIE and job hunting experiences. This not only encouraged students to think about their future career path and helped them with planning, but also synergized the co-operation and understanding among department, industrial experts, graduates and participated students. It is believed that the activities have facilitated the establishment of professional image of the department. Participated students also expected to promote their sense of belongings to the department and therefore they will devote more on departmental activities in the future.
