"I graduated with a major in Building Engineering (Building Services Engineering) from CityUHK, where I found the program both rigorous and rewarding. The ACE department equipped me with both theoretical and practical skills, along with essential industry knowledge, which were crucial in launching my career. My favorite classes, particularly in multi-disciplinary design projects (similar to the current IBPD), inspired me to collaborate with different disciplines, allowing me to gain valuable experience in the design process. This comprehensive education not only enhanced my technical abilities but also prepared me to tackle real-world challenges in the field. I highly recommend that current and prospective students embrace all learning opportunities."

"Courses offered by the Department of Architecture and Civil Engineering have been immensely beneficial, deepening my understanding in my original field. After more systematic learning and refinement of my knowledge in BIM, my team and I represented the university in the BIM Modeling Competition organized by the Hong Kong Construction Industry Council, where we secured the 1st runner-up position. Additionally, during the completion of my dissertation, Prof. Lai and Prof. Huang provided significant assistance, enabling me to achieve new breakthroughs in environmental monitoring and programming. A heartfelt thank you to CityU and the Department of ACE for their nurturing and education."

"I have chosen CityUHK Architectural Studies in view of the international platform and high technology-based course structure. The programme has set a very clear goal for the graduates with both design and technical ability to suit the needs in the professions in Architecture. The course of both Associate Degree and Bachelor Design in Architectural studies gave a solid foundation to graduates in a wide spectrum of skills in building design, sustainability design, innovation technologies, statutory regulation in Hong Kong and all consolidation skills with other building professions. The graduates are educated and equipped for the young power in architectural field. CityUHK ACE has a platform to provide a wide spectrum of knowledge in building industry, architectural design, BIM adoption, building technology etc., which are
comprehensive and informative."

"I am proud to be among the first graduates of the structural engineering program at CityUHK's ACE Department. Starting as a graduate engineer and eventually becoming a Registered Structural Engineer (RSE) was a journey filled with challenges
and triumphs. I could not have done it without many guardian angels along the way. Most importantly, CityUHK's nurturing environment, equipped with a "can-do" mindset, helped me overcome doubts and persist in finding solutions.
Today, I stand confident in my skills, thanks to the unwavering support and guidance I received at CityUHK."
