. Mechanical DesignThe assessment of student’s performance in Mechanical Design part includes homework, exams,and final project. Particularly their performance in the final project was evaluated in three parts;design appeal, project presentation, and actual race (i.e., the SCUPI Derby). The design criteriaand competition rules of the SCUPI Derby were provided to students near the mid-term so thatthey would have sufficient time to work on the project. On top of the design limitations set forthe model car (such as its size, material, and minimum number of parts), additional challengecame from the actual condition of the race track. The race track used for the competition wasmade domestically and was available on the market for other similar events. It

The basic objective of knowledge-buildingsubjects is to gradually develop discipline specific knowledge while knowledge-integrationsubjects focused more on students’ all-round abilities and workplace skill development.The Mechanical Engineering programme in HKPolyU-ME admits students to its BEng(Hons)in Mechanical Engineering programme through 2 major routes; (1) direct admission to year 1based on Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education (HKDSE) results (4 years in theuniversity – HKDSE intake) and (2) the Senior Year

And, social science and humanitiescontent, such as economics, law, ethics, has been included in engineering teaching. And, theway of combining theory and practice is also to be explored and improved, and many schoolshave made new progress in the combination of schools and enterprises.C.

When this is combined with the ease of creating multidisciplinary VIP teams,faculty quickly discover that VIP teams offer them a unique new resource for their research.With an average team size of 16, it thus appears possible for every student on a campus to beinvolved in a VIP team. As VIP grows at each campus and as the VIP Consortium grows, welook forward to determining if this possible. The fact that this can even be considered
