Information Day 2026
The annual HKUST Information Day was successfully held on October 31, 2026 (Saturday) at the HKUST Clear Water Bay campus. As part of the University’s 35th Anniversary celebrations, the event welcomed prospective secondary school students, parents, educators, and community members to explore HKUST’s world-class academic programs, state-of-the-art facilities, and vibrant campus life.
Our Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering (CBE) was proud to have over 60 faculty members, technical staff, student helpers, and alumni return to campus to support our consultation booth, admission talks, guided lab tours, interactive workshops, and research exhibitions.
Program Insights & Alumni Sharing
To help prospective students make informed decisions about their academic pathways, Prof. Terence WONG, Associate Head, Associate Professor, and Undergraduate Program Coordinator, hosted two well-attended admission talks titled "Introduction to Chemical and Biological Engineering and Student/Alumni Sharing".
During the sessions, Prof. Wong provided a comprehensive overview of the department's undergraduate curricula—covering Chemical Engineering (CENG), Bioengineering (BIEN), and Energy and Environmental Engineering (EEEN). Current CBE students and alumni also took the stage to share their personal journeys, discussing why they chose CBE, their hands-on learning experiences, and the diverse career paths available to graduates.
Hands-On Workshops & Laboratory Tours
Visitors experienced engineering in action through interactive activities at the CBE Laboratories. These included a Food Technology Laboratory tour led by Prof. Marshal LIU featuring 3D food printing, popping bubbles, cryogenic ice-cream, and freeze-dried smoothies; a DNA extraction workshop where participants extracted and observed real DNA; a sustainable energy workshop exploring hydrogen and solar power; and an aromatic disinfectant spray workshop introducing CBE’s patented disinfection technology.
Cutting-Edge Research Showcase
CBE postgraduate students and postdoctoral fellows presented the latest research breakthroughs through interactive displays and live demonstrations, giving future students a preview of undergraduate research opportunities.
Thank You to Our CBE Community
We sincerely thank our faculty, staff, students, and alumni for their dedication in making this year’s Information Day a success and welcoming the next generation of engineers to HKUST.
