<strong>Division</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Applied</strong> <strong>Science</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Technology</strong><br />
The <strong>Division</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Applied</strong> <strong>Science</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Technology</strong> (AST, formerly named as <strong>Division</strong> <strong>of</strong><br />
Computer Studies) had its new beginning in 2004 when the Community College <strong>of</strong> City<br />
University (CCCU) was established to <strong>of</strong>fer sub-degree programmes. The vision <strong>of</strong> the<br />
<strong>Division</strong> is “Sustained Excellence in <strong>Applied</strong> <strong>Science</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Technology</strong> Education in Hong<br />
Kong” <strong>and</strong> the mission statements are to<br />
- Produce competent <strong>and</strong> responsible graduates for the social-economic<br />
development <strong>of</strong> Hong Kong.<br />
- Maintain close links with applied science <strong>and</strong> technology sectors for the<br />
exchange <strong>of</strong> ideas <strong>and</strong> transfer <strong>of</strong> technology.<br />
- Keep on top <strong>of</strong> current technological developments for the benefits <strong>of</strong> our<br />
students <strong>and</strong> society.<br />
The programmes being <strong>of</strong>fered in the <strong>Division</strong> have stood the test <strong>of</strong> time, <strong>and</strong> could be<br />
distinguished in a number <strong>of</strong> aspects from others. These include a strong pr<strong>of</strong>essional core,<br />
a commitment to the development <strong>of</strong> application skills with a variety <strong>of</strong> choices, <strong>and</strong> a<br />
willingness to accommodate the needs <strong>of</strong> students with diversified backgrounds in science,<br />
arts <strong>and</strong> commerce.<br />
In response to community needs, the <strong>Division</strong> currently <strong>of</strong>fers a number <strong>of</strong> self-financing<br />
associate-degree (AD) level programmes in the areas <strong>of</strong> information technology, aviation<br />
logistics, environmental studies, statistics, engineering <strong>and</strong> creative media. They are<br />
Associate <strong>of</strong> <strong>Science</strong> in Information Systems Development (AScISD), Associate <strong>of</strong> <strong>Science</strong> in<br />
Network <strong>and</strong> Systems Administration (AScNSA), Associate <strong>of</strong> <strong>Science</strong> in Airport Operations<br />
<strong>and</strong> Aviation Logistics (AScAOAL), Associate <strong>of</strong> <strong>Science</strong> in Environmental Studies (AScES),<br />
Associate <strong>of</strong> <strong>Science</strong> in <strong>Applied</strong> Business Statistics (AScABS), Associate <strong>of</strong> Engineering<br />
(AENG), <strong>and</strong> Associate <strong>of</strong> <strong>Science</strong> in Creative <strong>and</strong> Interactive Media Production (AScCIMP).<br />
Programme Aims<br />
The Associate <strong>of</strong> Engineering programme (<strong>AEng</strong>) is a generic programme in engineering<br />
designed to match regional manpower requirements for graduates with broad-based<br />
engineering skills, provide a foundation for further studies. It is an entry-level programme<br />
to the field <strong>of</strong> engineering. It provides a balance <strong>of</strong> theoretical studies <strong>and</strong> practical training<br />
