Congratulatory Message<br />

As a professional mechanical engineer, I am privileged to be associated with The<br />

Department of Mechanical Engineering (ME) of the Hong Kong Polytechnic University<br />

(HKPolyU) as a Past Chairman of its Advisory Committee for a few terms spanning the<br />

last 20 years.<br />

I have witnessed the phenomenal growth of the ME Department, from a traditional<br />

mechanical and marine engineering focus, to multi-facetted disciplines including<br />

aeronautical, automotive, energy, product analysis, sound and vibration and other<br />

management subjects.<br />

With a strong faculty, the students have benefitted from their expert knowledge and<br />

profound research experience to become useful engineers and managers in the industry,<br />

with great potential to become future leaders of organizations.<br />

The ME Department should be justifiably proud of its high achievements and I look<br />

forward to seeing continued growth and success as a bedrock for education for outstanding<br />

mechanical engineers in the region, scaling new heights in the next 80 years and beyond.<br />
