detail

A little knowledge of history 1985+ 10 In June, 65438, Governor Youde of Hong Kong announced in his policy address that he would build a third university in Hong Kong. 1986 In July, the Hong Kong government set up a preparatory committee to establish the third university in Hong Kong. As the new university was not named at that time, it was temporarily named "Preparatory Committee for the Third University". 1987,65438+10, the third university was officially named "Hong Kong University of Science and Technology" to show that the new university meets the needs of industrial and commercial development in Hong Kong. The first two phases of HKUST were completed in 1992, 65438+ 10 and 1994 respectively. The university officially opened in June 199 1. In 2007, Lee Shau Kee donated HK$ 400 million to the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology to build a new campus to cope with the transition of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology to a four-year academic system. The university also has an office in interdisciplinary course, offering undergraduate and postgraduate courses in different colleges. Undergraduate majors: science and technology and management, environmental management and technology, risk management and business intelligence, and interdisciplinary majors: environmental science and management, environmental science, policy and management, and public policy. "Undergraduate Research Opportunity Program" (UROP) is a special program of this university, which aims to cultivate undergraduates' research interests. Undergraduates participating in this project will carry out research activities under the guidance of professors. According to this plan, undergraduates need to set the research scope with professors and submit academic reports at the end of the plan. This plan usually lasts for three to four months. In 2009, more than 250 undergraduates completed the project, and about 90 professors participated in the project. The number of students participating in the program has increased rapidly in recent years, from more than 70 in 2005 to more than 250 now, which has created many opportunities for undergraduates and professors to study together. In 20 10, more than 30 students in this university have received full scholarships to pursue doctoral programs in top universities in the world, such as Princeton University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Stanford University, Yale University, University of California, Berkeley, UCLA, Carnegie Mellon University, Duke University, etc. They come from different backgrounds, but they all participated in the undergraduate research project of HKUST University and gained inspiration and motivation from it. The research level and ability of this university are outstanding in Asia. Although this university was founded in 199 1, its history is far less than that of many universities established in Hong Kong for half a century. However, due to its clear direction and the goal of becoming a top research university in the world, this university actively recruits outstanding international researchers, obtains advanced research equipment, and establishes research bases through cooperation with higher scientific and technological education institutions or companies in different countries in the world, so it is young. In addition, the HKUST Fok Ying Tung Research Institute in Nansha, Guangdong Province aims to expand its influence in the field of academic research. School facilities: Jockey Club Lobby Conference Building, Lee Shau Kee Business Building, Lee Shau Kee Campus (lecture hall, classroom, multi-functional meeting room and seminar room, etc. ) Lee Shau Kee Library (with a collection of about 770,000 volumes) Gymnasium (outdoor gymnasium and indoor Heshanheng Gymnasium), there are many gymnasiums, gymnasiums and swimming pools. ) Dormitories, canteens, student unions, cooperatives, supermarkets, banks (Bank of China, Hang Seng Bank, Bank of East Asia), hair salons and other student unions (college student unions, departmental associations, dormitory student unions, sports federations, school associations, cultural federations), departments and departments. School of Science, School of Business Administration, School of Humanities and Social Sciences, Fok Ying Tung Policy Research Institute Hong Kong (referred to as Hong Kong, also known as Xiangjiang; English: Hong Kong (abbreviated as HK, HKG and Hong Kong Special Administrative Region) is one of the two special administrative regions of People's Republic of China (PRC). Geographical location is located on the north shore of the South China Sea, east of the Pearl River Estuary, bordering Shenzhen, Guangdong Province in the north, 63 kilometers away from the adjacent Macao Special Administrative Region in the west, and adjacent to the South China Sea on the other two sides. Urban Climate Hong Kong is located in the south of the subtropical zone and the Tropic of Cancer in the northern hemisphere, backed by Eurasia and facing the Pacific Ocean, forming a maritime subtropical monsoon climate with distinct seasons and pleasant warmth. At the end of each year, the high pressure accumulated in Siberia blows dry and cold air to the low-pressure Pacific Ocean, which becomes the winter monsoon in Hong Kong, making Hong Kong with low latitude feel the low temperature. In the middle of the year, a high pressure is formed in the Pacific Ocean. This summer monsoon will blow to Eurasia, and it will be rainy and humid in summer. March-May is spring every year, with mild and humid climate, cloudy and foggy, and low visibility. June to August is summer, with hot and humid temperatures, frequent rainstorms and heavy rainfall. September to165438+1October is autumn, which is generally warm, cool and sunny. Summer and autumn are also typhoon seasons, sometimes causing floods and landslides; Often attacked by tropical cyclones. February 65438 to February of the following year is winter, which is cool and dry, with occasional first frost in the highlands, and there is little chance of snowfall. High-rise buildings in the urban area of Hong Kong are concentrated and densely populated, and the microclimate formed is easy to produce heat island effect, which leads to obvious temperature difference between urban and suburban areas. Some areas in the New Territories, such as Daguling, Shigang and Beitan Chung, are close to the inland, and the temperature difference between morning and evening is generally greater than that in urban areas, with an average daily temperature difference of about 8 degrees.
