From the Editor
The evolution of CityU from a relatively small polytechnic established in the 1980s into a world-class university thirty years later is the main theme for this special anniversary issue of CityU Today. In our 30th anniversary year, we are celebrating our achievements in professional education and research, our unique milestones, the transformation of our campus and lots, lots more. Of course, it is impossible to capture all the highlights from the last few decades but what we can focus on in this issue is the incredible advancement of our University by reflecting on how our academic programmes have been nurtured, how our students, alumni and research achievements have impacted society, and how we have, literally, built on our success by turning our campus into a state-of-theart environment for learning and research. Our 30th anniversary celebrations will continue for the rest of 2014, and this is CityU Today’s contribution. Best wishes and happy reading! 城大創校於1980年代，短短30年間，從一所規模不大的理工學院， 已發展成為世界一流學府。值此三十周年校慶之際，《今日城大》推 出以校慶為主題的特刊，慶祝我校在專業教育及研究領域取得的成 果、獨特的里程碑、煥然一新的校園，還有種種其他成就。 城大過去的30年精彩紛呈，薄薄一本刊物，自然難以一一詳述。本期 《今日城大》主要敘述城大的非凡發展歷程，包括逐步完善各個課程 的過程；城大學生、校友及研究成果對社會的影響；以及如何營造 先進的教學科研環境，以助城大獲得成功。 三十周年校慶活動將會持續全年，這份特刊是我們小小的一份獻禮。 祝各位安好、開卷快樂！

New knowledge for new era Our unique Discovery-enriched Curriculum (DEC) makes the process of discovery and innovation an integral part of the entire university undergraduate experience. Launched in 2012–2013, the DEC encourages students to create, cultivate, curate and communicate new knowledge, learning for themselves what it means to create and develop their own ideas. No other university that we know of has positioned the twin curricular drivers of discovery and innovation so prominently at the heart of their curriculum. (See page 20.)

人物專訪
Of course, setting up CityU’s law school was a very challenging enterprise for all of us involved but we succeeded, and we now have one of the region’s finest centres for legal education. Especially I would like to mention our unique training courses for judges from mainland China. The participants on these courses are senior members of the judiciary on the mainland, and they take back the skills and know-how they have acquired at CityU to their own jurisdictions, and thus help to enhance the law there. I have also been delighted to hear how well our law students are doing in international mooting competitions. Our teams have beaten some of the top-ranked law schools in the world, which is an incredible achievement. The setting up of the School of Creative Media has also been a highlight for me. Back in the late 1990s, creative media was not so well known and it took real vision on the part of the University and particularly former CityU president, Professor H K Chang, to establish a school that was so ground-breaking and so cutting-edge. And the subsequent construction of the Run Run Shaw Creative Media Centre has been a fitting tribute to the strengths of the University in this field.

二十一世紀學術新願景
The ability to look into the future and project what skills and knowledge young people will need for their careers and their overall personal development is greatly prized in the education sector. There are no easy answers, especially given the speedy rate at which today’s world is being transformed by advances in technology. It takes vision, courage of one’s convictions, teamwork, dedication and experience to create an academic landscape that aligns with societal, regional and global requirements.

Pioneering research for society 創新研究 造福社會
By Michael Gibb
文：鄭智友
The research focus at CityU has remained constant ever since we gained university status in the early 1990s: Our efforts have been targeted specifically at interdisciplinary projects that benefit society. Spearheading our research initiatives are the two State Key labs. The State Key Laboratory of Millimeter Waves, approved by the Ministry of Science and Technology in March 2008, is the first laboratory of its kind in the engineering discipline in Hong Kong, with activities focusing on applications of millimeter wave and terahertz technologies. The State Key Laboratory in Marine Pollution, approved in November 2009 by the mainland government, collaborates with sister institutions in Hong Kong to protect marine ecosystems by identifying the environmental threats caused by toxic contaminants, hypoxia, biotoxins and pathological bacteria and their corresponding mitigation. Altogether, we run 20 research centres, and four applied strategic development centres. The four university research centres are the Center of Super-Diamond and Advanced Films, Liu Bie Ju Centre for Mathematical Sciences, Multimedia-software Engineering Research Centre, and the Centre for Judicial Education and Research, all of which have had a huge impact locally and beyond over the last few years. In the following section, the deans of CityU’s Schools and Colleges will offer a personal view of the many achievements of their respective academic units.

What is being done in other programmes? We’ve been very busy with our BBA programme, too. We did some curriculum benchmarking against other local and international competitor universities, and found where we could make useful changes. So our BBA programme has been restructured to include two new economics courses: micro- and macro-economics, two accountancy courses, and one statistics course. Over the past 30 years information technology has transformed all disciplines, and so we’ve added a programming course, and we also reckon that BBA students need exposure to law for matters such as contracting, so we have added an elective course in law in cooperation with the School of Law. English and critical analytical ability is essential, and so we have developed case-based business communication courses. Given these curriculum changes, our BBA programme is comparable with top business schools worldwide. It has taken lots of hard work and dedicated effort to achieve our goals, but we are well on the way to future successes.

Seeking solutions to global crisis By Mirror Fung
i.e. the integration of different energy sources such as traditional and renewable energy, as well as smart grids that manage electricity demand in a sustainable, reliable and economic manner. Another area we will explore is marine energy since both tidal and wave energy could play some role in the energy mix for Hong Kong. What have been the most significant research projects over the last few years? Many of our research projects have had a significant impact, but the following are comparatively well known because they relate to issues of concern. The conversion of food waste into bio-gas, useful materials and biodiesel has gained a great deal of attention, as has our work on fuel cells that purify wastewater and at the same time generate power. Work on air pollution that targets different pollutant species and their health effects on different sectors of our population have also been significant. Our research

In addition, the School is currently preparing for the establishment of research centres such as the Centre of Aquaculture and Centre for Animal Welfare, along with the Animal Hospital, which will provide professional services to society and provide practical opportunities for students, in order to drive forward research that is closely related to society. The School actively develops ties with society, too. For example, in cooperation with Ocean Park and various governmental departments, the School used specimens of the bones of a whale that had been stranded in Hong Kong in April 2014 for scientific research and teaching purposes.

Mr Wong Hon-yee, Advisor to Vice-President (Research and Technology), and former Associate Vice-President of the Knowledge Transfer Office (KTO), highlights CityU’s successes linking research with societal needs. What have been the most significant knowledge transfer projects over the last few years? One of the highlights is certainly the wireless charging technologies, developed by a previous faculty member in the Department of Electronic Engineering, which have been adopted by the Wireless Power Consortium to draw up universal industrial standards for wireless charging. The technologies have become the cornerstone to the development of a new generation of wireless charging platforms on which different electronic

A voyage of discovery A CityU team climbs carefully through soft snow to the vantage point of a 300-metre glacial peak that towers over the scientific research base, Brown Station, at Paradise Harbour in Antarctica. The aim of the CityU Antarctica expedition, the first of its kind launched by a university in Hong Kong, was to alert more people to the dangers facing the fragile Antarctic eco-system. In this windswept region, 23 interdisciplinary student participants collected scientific and environmental data, which they later transformed into creative media works of art. An exhibition in May 2014 showcased the outcomes of this pioneering 21-day study tour, which took place between December and January of 2013–2014.

Over the years, many enthusiastic alumni have volunteered to strengthen the network. The formation of the Convocation in 2007, a statutory alumni body established under the University Ordinance, reflects the growing maturity of our alumni networks and a readiness to take a more active role in our development. Since many of our senior alumni, many of whom lead successful careers, would like to contribute to CityU and society, ARO helped a group of senior alumni in 2010 to set up the CityU Eminence Society. The aim of the Society is to bring together senior alumni who wish to share their resources, expertise and social networks for the benefit of the University and the advancement of society. Some senior alumni are members of the CityU think-tank, and often make valuable suggestions and solicit the support of different sectors for the University’s development.
