DeansmessageStudent/FacultyExpectationsonTeachingandLearning

The Engineering Faculty of CUHK believes that it is importantto continually strive for an atmosphere of mutual respect,acknowledgement, and responsibility between facultymembers and the student body.

The Faculty strives here to enumerate the specificexpectations of each side. In the end, simple respect forknowledge, hard work, and cordial interactions will help buildthe environment we seek.

What is Engineering?

Lecture1:

Introduction


19/42


20/42


1/12/2015 20

Profession

Math and natural sciences

Knowledge acquired by study, experience, and professional

practice

Knowledge applied with judgment

Attention must be paid to constraints (economic, materials,

forces of nature)

Benefit of mankind

Not based solely on trial, error, intuition

According to definition:


21/42


1/12/2015 21

Engineering uses scientific, technological, and

mathematical knowledge to solve practical problems.


22/42


1/12/2015 22

Engineering v.s. ScienceScience:

Investigation, understanding, and discovery of nature, itscomposition, and its behavior (i.e., laws of nature)

Why

Build (experiments, tools, devices, etc.) to learnEngineering:

Manipulating the forces of nature to advance humanity

How

Learn to build (products and services useful for humans)


23/42


1/12/2015 23

Scientists Understand why our world behaves the way it does (laws of nature)

Study the world as it is Thinkers

Engineers

Apply established scientific theories and principles to develop cost-

effective solutions to practical problems

Cost effective Consideration of design trade-offs (esp. resource usage) Minimize negative impacts (e.g. environmental and social cost)

Practical problems: Problems that matter to people

Change the world
