[evdate 1996-12-15] Annual Report 95-96 The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology CHAIRMAN'S FOREWORD Sir Sze-yuen CHUNG, GBE JP BSc(Eng)(Hons). PhD, DSc(Hon) LLD(Hon) DEng(Hon). DBA(Hon), FEng HonFlMechE. HonFHKIE, FIEE, CBIM Order of the Sacred Treasure {Japan) President of Hong Kong Academy of Engineering Sciences Former Senror Member of the Executive and Legislative Councils Chairman. University Council The year 1995-96 was the fifth year since the opening of the University and the tenth year since the commence- ment of the planning of the University. The Planning Committee for the University was appointed in July 1986 and held its first meeting in September. It took less than two years to plan and another three years to organise, build and man the University. The first batch of about 800 students was admitted in October 1991. Since then, the student population has grown steadily but rapidly to 6,077 "full time equivalent" or 6,295 by head count in 1995-96. Within this actual number there were 1,156 post- graduates, representing 18 percent-a relatively high figure by local standards, reflecting the mission of the University.

-Apart from teaching, the University is spending much effort in pioneering both academic research and technical services in Hong Kong. In academic research, the University despite its short history is lead- ing local tertiary institutions in competition for government funding both in total

amount awarded and in rate of success. This truly reflects the emphasis of the University on research and postgraduate work.

2 I ANNUAL REPORT, 95-96

CHAIRMAN'S FOREWORD In technical services, the University has continued to break new ground within Hong Kong's tertiary sector. It was the pioneer in providing Internet service in this

territory through its wholly owned subsidiary, Hong Kong Supernet. This company was sold during the year, yielding a high return of over HK$36 million. In conclusion, I wish to take this opportunity to thank all my colleagues on the

Court, Council, Senate and their Committees as well as all the academic and administrative staff for their contributions to the

University during 1995-96. ANNUAL REPORT 95-96

Members of the teaching staff numbered 509. l At the University's Third Congregation, held on 2-3 November 1995, academic degrees were conferred on 1,104 undergraduate and 216 postgraduate students. Honorary doctorates were awarded to Prof Leroy, Dean of Science at HKUST; Dr LI Ka-shing, Chairman of Cheung Kong (Holdings) Ltd and Hutchison Whampoa Ltd; Prof Lu Yongxiang, Vice-President of the

Chinese Academy of Sciences; and Sir Gordon MACWHINSIE, former Chairman of the Royal Hong Kong Jockey Club and a founding member of the University Council. Full accreditation was awarded to the Department of Electrical k Electronic Engineering by

the Hong Kong Institution of Engineers. Provisional accreditation was awarded to the Departments of Chemical Engineering and Indus-

trial Engineering & Engineering Management. New academic programmes included a Master of Science Programme in Investment Management-the first of its kind in Hong Kong-

to be offered by tile Finance Department. In 1995, the University began to maximise year-round use of its facilities when summer camps for prospective students were begun by the Physics Department and the Schools of Engineering and Business & Management. In

1996, the University's first credit-bearing sum- mer classes were offered in the School of Engineering. 6 I ANNUAL REPORT 44 th 95-96 YEAR IN REVIEW Demonstrating the soundness of their academic training, HKUST students excelled not

only in the classroom but in local, regional, and international competitions. Most impressive was the second consecutive success by a team of computer science students at the International Collegiate Programming Contest, where they again ranked among the top 1% of student computer programmers around the world. l In competitive research funding awarded by the Research Grants Council, HKUST once again led Hong Kong's tertiary institutions in the number of projects funded, amount of total funding, and success rate. l Important discoveries were reported by University researchers in the bioIogica1 sciences,

Technology transfer grew appreciably as some two dozen research contracts worth about $9 million were signed with regional and inter- national firms in the biotechnology, electron- ics, multimedia, and plastics industries, among others. ANNUAL REPORT % 08 95-26 17 YEAR IN REVIEW Hong Kong Supernet, named the "best Internet provider in Asia" by Asia Internet Report, was sold by the University to an international consortium for over $47 million, marking the successful completion of a full R&D cycle.

Generous support continued to flow to the University from individual, corporate, and foundation donors, capped by a $25 million gift from the Shui On Group Ltd to support construction of a new R&D facility, the UST Annex. The Shui On Center for China Business and Management, to be housed in the

Annex, was named in recognition of the gift. HKUST was host to, and a willing partner in, initiatives to establish a Europe Institute on campus and an association of East Asian Re- search Universities--both promising to strengthen the University's international partnerships during this time of transition.

ANNUAL REPORT V OH 95-96 PRESIDENT'S Report With the submission of this annual report, we conclude the University's "founding phase": our first five years. It has been a most satisfying five years for the University's Council members, faculty, staff, students, and alumni.

The original plan for the University had called for it to open in the fall of 1994; we advanced that by three full years. Government's expectation was that we would reach full size at 7,000 students, and thus steady-state funding, in no fewer than seven years; we are practically accomplishing that in five. The acceleration enabled HKUST to educate about 6,000 more graduates than anticipated and produce substantial savings for the taxpayers of Hong Kong. At the same time, we have been able to build an institution far stronger than we dared to dream. During the past year, the University has assiduously maintained its application of "continuous assessment" in teaching, using daily home-

work assignments and frequent tests to help students digest more fully what they have to learn.

Similarly, credit-bearing classes were offered during the summer months to enable students to

spread out their course load. Summer places also were offered to a number of college-bound secondary school students to give them a headstart.

It should be mentioned that the additional work- load was taken up by our dedicated teaching staff without any thought of extra compensation. Our students have continued to excel in academic contests, both local and international.

Many of our graduates have decided to seek advanced degrees; those who chose to do so over-

seas have found admission and financial support 10 I ANNUAL REPORT 4-W 95-96

PRESIDENT s REPORT at leading institutions. At the same time, it is note- worthy that four of the seven Academic Achievement Award winners in the graduating class of

1995 elected to pursue postgraduate study at HKUST. But a majority of our graduates, as is customary in Hong Kong, have chosen to begin their

working careers right away. They have encountered little difficulty in finding jobs, and comments from employers reflect a high degree of

satisfaction in their capabilities. In research, our faculty has continued to lead Hong Kong's tertiary institutions in the results of peer-reviewed competition for academic research grants-that is, in total funding, number of funded projects, success rate, and funding per faculty member. Their scholarly accomplishments

have been lauded in leading international publications, especially in technologically advanced

countries like the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, and Japan. Applied research and development lead to technology transfer-the application of R&D results to the upgrading of infrastructure, industrial

processes, and commercial products. It is an important part of HKUST's objective: 1Ve are man-

dated to provide direct service to the community and to enhance the region's economic and social development. During the past year, with more attention in the University being given to the direct-service aspect of technology and management, applied R&D projects mushroomed in practically all of the interdisciplinary areas cultivated at HKUST: advanced materials, Asian financial markets, biotechnology, economic development, environ- mental studies, information technology, infra- structure development, micro systems, scientific computation, and software engineering. Successes have abounded. ANNUAL REPORT A model case 12 as the conceptualisation, incubation, operation, anti eventual sale of Hong Kong Supernet, that University-owned company

Which become Hong Kong's most successful ISP, or Internet service provider. Supernet upgraded local telecommunications service, started a brand new industry for Hong Kong (some 70 ISPs are currently in operation), and produced a sizeable monetary return for the University- funds which can be used to seed other technology-based ventures and provide leverage for private and public investments.

We believe the University is moving on the right track. Policy changes brought forward for discussion during the past year aim at building morale, strengthening incentives, and optimising impact. Conditions of service for staff employed on "iocal" and "expat" terms will be equalised. Equity participation will be established for staff engaged irt technology transfer.

High-impact areas which either accentuate HKUST's position on the international map or are strongly relevant to Hong Kong's economic development, or both, will be earmarked for cost-

effective investment of that University's research infrastructure and equipment funds. In addition, we have begun the process of "humanising" the institution. As announced at the

last Congregation, we wish to make the University more genteel more cultural, more Chinese, and more international.

To make the University more genteel means, as one example, to strengthen the mentoring relationship between faculty and students, and ANNUAL REPORT 'f tk 45-96 PRESIDENT S REPORT between senior and junior faculty members. Actions which have been initiated include the establishment of an undergraduate advising s>stern

which will require every undergraduate to meet with an advisor outside the classroom; and the appointment of more young faculty members to university committees, so that the>- can learn from their senior colleagues holy to share the University's governance. To make the University more cultural means to present more cultural events on campus, and to encourage the IIKUST community to participate more fully in these activities. The University already, provides a rich offering of

programmes: exhibits, lectures, concerts, and performances. But a certain degree of consolidation was necessary to make them more readily known to the campus community, and to the public. For this purpose, a Center for the Arts has been set up to provide both leadership and logistical support. Clearly, it is not feasible to create a "college town" on the Clear Water Bay- Peninsula. So the University must try to build on its own campus

a "village" with an appealing environment and a congenial atmosphere. During the past year, fol- ANNUAL REPORT 9 K-4 95-96 113 PRESIDENT S REPORT lowing the completion of Towers 5-7 to house 66 staff families, ground was broken for 156 Senior Staff Quarters; the University Center; and 270 University Apartments for postgraduate students, research staff, and some of our younger colleagues. These totally self-financed facilities will bring a

large proportion of staff and students on to the campus. At the same time, work has started on outdoor amenities including a cliffside path, several pavilions, a restored ancient village, a hillside park, and a waterfront barbecue area-all self-fi- nanced-to "soften" the campus environment. To make the University more Chinese means to help Hong Kong regain her Chinese identity. In time, HKUST should become a bilingual university-with two written and three spoken languages in common usage (English, Cantonese, and Putonghua). During the past year, in response to the Council's suggestion, the University began to produce its official publications in both languages wherever possible. And even though, for the sake of practicality, the medium of instruction will remain English for a long time to come, non-academic activities will increasingly be conducted in Chinese, as appropriate. To be more Chinese also means that we should play a significant role in the gradual integration of Hong Kong's economy with that of her hinterland. At HKUST, academic exchange with

mainland institutions has expanded rapidly. Chinese passport holders now number close to 100

among our teaching staff, mostly recruited from academic institutions in the West. They also include about 100 of our research staff, and about 160 who have joined us as postgraduate students.

ANNUAL REPORT ff PR 95-96 PRESIDENT'S REPORT Mutual visits have been numerous. A joint laboratory has been established with the Chinese Academy of Sciences in the

field of life science and biotechnology, to be followed soon by three more joint laboratories-in microelectronics, information technology, and advanced materials.

In training and co-development, a new set of executive programmes for Hainan has been launched upon the successful completion of the first three-year programme. Collaboration with the Pearl River Delta region, especially Hong Kong's twin city, Shenzhen, has

intensified. Capping it all is the creation of the Shui On Center for China Business and Management, devoted to teaching and research on

China's business infrastructure, practices, and opportunities. To make the University more international means to recognise Hong Kong as the crossroads of East Asia, North America, and Eastern Europe, and to serve as a catalyst for cooperative approaches to technology and management. During the past year, an Association of East Asian Re-

search Universities was formed by the presidents of nine leading Asian universities. The Association is based at present on the HKUST campus.

Its membership will soon increase to 13, but further expansion will be restricted. The intention

of its members is to carry out intimate cooperation at the grassroots level while keeping it from

turning into a social organisation. The framework for establishing a Europe Institute at HKUST has been formed with a steering committee consisting of the Consuls-General of all the European Union countries and the Head of the European Commission Office in Hong

ANNUAL REPORT PRESIDENT S REPORT Kong, as well as several academic and business leaders. Under the Europe Institute will be national centers. The planning for two such centers, for Germany and Britain, has gone forward with

national steering committees made up of university presidents, research institute directors, and corporate executives. The objectives of the centers

are to strengthen existing collaboration, provide better logistical support, and, at the same time, offer regional footholds to European organisations which are keenly interested in East Asia (particularly China) but are not yyet ready to risk major investments.

To sum up, the past year saw the University well prepared to enter a state of precocious maturity. Five years, many have said, is too short a time

for a university to be created from the ground up. Yet in Hong Kong, five years is close to eternity. We are eager to cross 1997's historical threshold and enter Hong Kong's new era of self-governance with our feet on the ground, hands on

the present, and eyes for the future. The process of teaching and learning at HKUST became the focus of both external and internal review during the 1995-96 academic year. Externally the impetus was provided by the Teaching and Learning Quality Process Review, conducted by the University Grants Committee.

This ongoing review of Hong Kong's tertiary institutions began in 1996 with visits to four of the seven institutions. The Review Panel's day- and-a-half visit to HKUST, on 11-12 April, included discussions with the faculty and students

of 12 (of the 19) academic departments, as well as the staff of school administrative offices and academic support units. That teaching is explicitly coupled with learning in this exercise is a recognition of the fact that

education is not a one-way process of transferring knowledge. Students who learn to learn be- come much more than passive recipients. One important place to look for evidence of such learning is in its application outside the classroom set-

ting. In 1996, there were a number of examples of student achievement that demonstrate the quality of education HKUST students are obtaining.

A sterling performance by the computer programming team at the International Collegiate Programming Contest is one such achievement. An

impressive debut in 1995 was surpassed by their 1996 performance. Travelling to the United States to represent HKUST in the final round, they finished ahead of competitors from prestigious institutions such as Caltech, Columbia, and Toronto,

and far in front of the nearest Asian finalist. On a different, and perhaps unexpected front, the HKUST English Debate Team won the Hong Kong intercollegiate competition on 3 April 1996, defeating the defending champions from the University of Hong Kong. Although HKUST has no

law school-a traditional source of talent for student debate teams-it does stress the importance

of language skills. All students must attain a basic ANNUAL REPORT *I 95-96 level of skill in English to graduate, and the Language Centre provides instruction to more than

three-quarters of each entering class to help them achieve this standard. As the success of the English Debate Team shows, some students at HKUST

go well beyond the minimum requirement. Not all successes are won on the field of competition. Some of our students take what they have

learned and use it for the good of the community. An example of this is a project initiated by some enterprising biology students. With faculty guidance, these students developed a successful proposal for a project called Promotion of Environ-

mental Protection Awareness, or PEPA, which received grants in 1995-96 from two environmental organisations. With this support, the students

developed presentation materials and visited more than 30 local secondary schools to share their knowledge of environmental issues with the younger students. Successes such as these are encouraging signs that teaching and learning are proceeding in a sound way at HKUST. Another sign is a manifest desire on the part of University staff to refine and continually improve the University's academic programs. More than 60 faculty members, joined by staff associates and students, met to share their insights regarding "The Undergraduate Experience at HKUST" at a Faculty Forum on 8 May 1996. The forum was highlighted by spirited discussion of a number of the assumptions that underlie the University's educational philosophy, and by the presentation of student perspectives on problem areas

in academic program delivery. A number of useful suggestions were brought forward, and they will be followed up in the year to come. At the close of its fifth year of classes, the University reaffirmed its strong commitment to enhancing the student experience at HKUST so that

teaching and learning become more rewarding for all participants. ANNUAL REPORT +F-tB 95-36 119 The cycle of research and development contains elements that are distinct in theory

while frequently overlapping in practice. At HKUST, basic research, classically defined as the search for knowledge, and applied research, the search for practical solutions and applications, are in reality phases of the same creative activity. This activity may in turn be completed by a development process that transforms laboratory results

into useful, commercially viable products and services. Another name for this process is technology transfer. At HKUST, a great deal of productive work was done throughout the R&D cycle during 1995-96. Highlighting the year was the University's sale of Hong Kong Supernet, the first successful Internet service provider in Hong Kong, to an international consortium. With this spin-off to the private sector, the University conclusively demon-

strated not only the feasibility but the value to the community of carrying out a complete R&D cycle within an academic setting. Academic Research Research activities at HKUST are conducted across a wide range of fields and disciplines. While only a few examples of notable achievement can be mentioned here, the University's Research Report, published each year, contains brief summaries of all ongoing projects. In the biological sciences, Prof Tian-Yow TSONG (Biochemistry) produced new insight into how proteins fold into their active structures, while Drs Nancy Y. Y. IP and Karl Wah-Keung TSIM (Biology) collaborated on identifying an important receptor at the neuromuscular junction, a major breakthrough in neurobiology.

l In mathematics, significant contributions were made by Prof Din-Yu HSIEH and Dr Xiao-Ping WANG. to the understanding of chase transition ANNUAL REPORT a 9til 95-96 RESEARCH in Van der Waals fluids, and Prof Kunrui Yu, to the p-adic theory of linear forms in logarithms of algebraic numbers. Another important result was Dr Vladimir A. VLADIMIROV'S establishment of stability criteria applicable to several classes of magnetohydrodynamical flows. In chemical engineering, researchers led by Prof P. L. YUE and Dr Jian YU developed innovative technologies that can potentially reduce the hazardous waste from certain Hong Kong industries, including bleaching, dyeing, printing and electroplating, to near zero. In another innovative project, Dr Yongli MI succeeded in synthesising natural fibre-reinforced composite

materials that can be used as wood substitutes. l In opto-electronics, a research group led by Dr Philip SOU (Physics) fabricated highly efficient light-emitting thin films capable of covering nearly the entire visible spectrum. l Four US patents were received by HKUST re- searchers in 1995-96. In biotechnology, Prof Jeffrey WONG (Biochemistry) and Dr S. C. TAM (Chinese University of Hong Kong) have developed a new drug delivery technique that can improve the lives of patients with chronic conditions such as diabetes. In computer science, Dr Jun GU and his student Dr R. PURI have invented

a new approach to the design of an asynchronous computer architecture. In microelectronics, a research team led by Dr Jack LAU (Electrical ST Electronic Engineering) has developed a

new magnetic sensor that can improve the performance and lower the cost of magnetic re-

cording devices such as tape recorders and computer hard disks. In mechanical engineering,

Dr LENG Yang, Dr Tong-Yi ZHXIG and Mr F. KING ANNUAL REPORT RESEARCH have invented a new method of producing graphite intercalation compounds to provide high-temperature seal{ for crucial components in nuclear power plants. Contract Research Contract research IS both a vehicle for technology transfer and a form of service to the community. By collaborating with partners in industry

and government, the University enhances its standing as an Important scientific and technological resource for Hong Kong while fulfilling its mandate to assist in the region's economic development.

As reported previously, the largest research contract awarded to a tertiary institution in Hong Kong was obtained by HKUST for development

of a real-time weather monitoring system at Hong Kong's new international airport. In December 1995, a significant project milestone was reached when the Government's Royal Observatory approved a prototype of the Operational Windshear Warning System, opening the way to completion

of a production version. In a related project, the University's Research Centre has begun development of a wind monitoring system to enhance safety on the exposed, high-speed Airport Railway during strong winds

and typhoons. Other notable examples of contract research were agreements wit Lee Kum Kee Group Ltd, for establishment of the Hong Kong Traditional Chinese Medicine Research Centre and development of new health products derived front traditional Chinese medicines Bayer AG, for development of antimalarial drugs Hongkong Telecom, for development of an efficient user-inter face for home shopping \ria video-on-demand ANNUAL REPORT 95-96 RESEARCH Motorola Semiconductors Hong Kong Ltd, for development of chip-on-glass technology for use in liquid crystal displays Moog International, for development of an adaptive control technology for use in plastic moulding machines Federation of Hong Kong Industries, for analysis of economic data on imported labour and unemployment in Hong Kong

Research Infrastructure To improve management planning for the University's organised research units, a refined reporting structure was implemented in 1995-96 to ensure that research units are accountable to School Deans and the Vice-President for Research and Development. Plans for the Advanced Materials Research Institute were approved, bringing the number of research institutes on campus to eight. Several new research centres were opened, including the Drug Delivery Technology Center, the Centre for Display Research, the Centre for Economic De- velopment, and the Cyberspace Center for Soft- ware Industry. Agreement was reached with the Chinese Academy of Sciences to establish a Life Science and

Biotechnology Joint Laboratory on the HKUST campus. Additional joint laboratories in microelectronics, advanced materials, and information technology are planned.

RESEARCH Research Funding The Office of Contract and Grant Administration processed 812 new proposals for research funding and travel grants during 1995-96, an increase of 26% over the previous year. Of these proposals, 511 were awarded funding of $127 million in total. Some of these awards resulted from applications submitted in 1994-95.

During 1995-96, the number of active research projects at HKUST was 1,096 with total funding of $462 million, representing an increase of 23% in both number and funding amount over the previous year. In competitive research funding awarded annually by the Government's Research Grants

Council, HKUST was once again Hong Kong's leader in the number of projects funded, amount of total funding, and success rate. In results for the 1996-97 grant cycle announced in June 1996, 134 projects were awarded a total of $68.5 mil- lion, a 21% increase over the amount received by HKUST researchers the previous year. Another 68 proposals (28% of the total number of proposal submitted) were recommended for support but were not funded due to insufficient resources.

By the end of June 1996, construction of 156 senior staff quarters was well advanced. Project completion later in the year will enable the University to provide accommodation on campus for all eligible staff and, with the subsequent termination of all off-campus leases, to repay within five to six years the bank loan raised to cover construction costs. The construction of an additional 270 apartments, each capable of accommodating four

postgraduate students, also approached completion. These apartments will enable the University

to provide housing on campus for all full-time postgraduate students beginning in the second semester of the 1996-97 academic year, as well as for a portion of the teaching and research staff, conference delegates, and participants in executive education programmes. In conjunction with these apartments, a recreational facility for staff and students, to be called

the University Center, is also being developed. It is worth noting that all these construction projects are being carried out in a self-supporting manner, without contributions from taxpayers or donors. The financial year ended 30 June 1996 saw the 1 University continuing its steady growth in student enrolment and in teaching and research activities. At year's end, total net assets had risen to $4,031.09 million, attributable to the senior staff quarters, graduate residences, and University Center under construction, and to a higher level of surplus cash on bank deposits, offset by an increase in bank loans. The surplus was due partly to the sale of Hong Kong Supernet Limited. General income increased by 18% to total $1,645.17 million for the year, to cope with the growth in student number. General expenditure, primarily funded by the University Grants Committee (UGC), increased by 6% to reach $1,508.48 million. Specific income increased by 23% to $437.84 million, due largely to the substantial income arising from the sale of Hong Kong Supernet Limited and the transfer from excess general income. Specific expenditure on basic teaching equipment, specialist equipment and facilities, furniture and general equipment, and from other capital grants funded by the UGC totalled $160.94 million. Other specific expenditure funded by the UGC on an earmarked basis amounted to $52.16 million. In preparing its financial statements for 1995- 96, as summarised in Appendix A, the University has adopted, apart from the capitalisation policy on fixed assets, the accounting practices as set out in a proposed Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) for UGC-funded Institutions in Hong

Kong. The proposed SORP recommends the capitalisation of fixed assets only when their costs are

funded by loan facilities, but the University has decided to continue with its accounting policy of capitalising all fixed assets irrespective of the source of financing in order to record and reflect their total historical financial value in the 26 I ANNUAL REPORT % $8 95-96 FINANCE Rd B University's books. The proposed SORP, incorporating the views and comments of the auditors of ek~mtz%IF3~ the institutions and the Hong Kong Society of Accountants, has been developed and agreed to by the finance officers of the seven UGC-funded institutions.

Donations The University is most appreciative of the individual, corporate, and foundation donors who

made generous gifts during 1995-96. These do- nors are listed in Appendix B. Major donors included Shui On Group Ltd, which contributed a sum of $2.5 million as the first payment of its $25 million pledge to sup- port construction of the UST Annex. Another sum of $1 million came from Jebsen Educational Foundation as a contribution towards its scholarship and bursary programme for 1996-97. Television

Broadcasts Ltd contributed an additional $1.6 million to the TVB Fund, and Bank of China do- nated $1.89 million, representing the first-year membership fees of the BOC/HKUST Credit Card. In major research funding, the Hongkong Telecom Foundation continued its staunch sup- port of the Hongkong Telecom Institute of Information Technology with payments totalling $6.77

million, as part of its $100 million pledge. A total of 217 scholarships and 323 bursaries and loans amounting to $5.45 million were given out during the course of the year. Grants to sup- port faculty research projects amounted to $5.49 million, while contributions to support conferences, workshops, academic exchanges, student

projects, and art events stood at $1.34 million. Donations in-kind were also received-most notably, a scanning electron microscope valued at $1 million donated by China Light & Power Co Ltd. ANNUAL REPORT F98 95-96 I 27

Academic Achievement At the University's Third Congregation, seven &p- graduates received the coveted Academic Achievement Award for having maintained the equivalent of a solid A average .

Beate Bieniek-Moores (Management of Organisations) Chan Kwok Ho (Mechanical Engineering) Gan Wai Chuen (Electrical &r Electronic Engineering), Rajesh H. HATHIRAMWI (Finance), Larry KEVNG Chun Yeung (Electrical & Electronic Engineering), Toby MAK (Chemistry), and David WONG Chi Leung (Computer Science). The Dean's List is drawn up at the end of each semester to recognise students who have attained a minimum grade average of 10 (out of 12). In the fall semester, 261 students (5.1% of under- graduate enrolment) achieved this honour. In the spring semester, the number rose to 283 (5.5O/o). Merit scholarships valued at $3.89 million were awarded to 187 students during 1995-96, a number limited only by the available funds. Extra-curricular Activities Despite their heavy academic workload, HKUST students made full use of the University's facilities to forge for themselves an active and vibrant

campus life. The services provided by the Students' Union and its affiliated societies further improved during 1995-96. The first Student Festival was held

in February, highlighting the broad range of student societies active on campus. By the end of

the academic year, the number of societies had increased to eighty. ANNUAL REPORT L1 316 95-96 STUDENTS Students teams from HKUST were active in inter-collegiate sports and other competitions. Some

60 students in three teams took part in the an- nual dragon boat races held at Sai Kung. Farther afield, eight members of the HKUST Athletics For exemplary service to others, CHAN Nga-yee, a second-year student in marketing, Lo Tat-chi, a third-year student in civil engineering, and

LEUNG Wai-kin, a third-year student in accounting, received Outstanding Student Service awards.

Residence Halls With the size of the student body increasing by more than 1,000 in 1995-96, student demand for the limited number of places available on cam- pus intensified further. Undergraduate residences provided lodging for 1,722 students out of an enrolment of 5,139 (as at 3 1 December 1995), forcing some students who could not obtain accommodation on campus to commute daily from homes more than 90 min- utes away. ANNUAL REPORT 9pbl 95-96 1 j$

STUDENTS In order to accommodate all full-time post- graduate students who wished to live on campus, 229 rooms designed for single-occupancy in PG Hall II were converted to double occupancy as a temporary measure. The difficulties caused by such crowding will be resolved when new post- graduate residences under construction are com- pleted toward the end of 1996. Efforts to improve the quality of hall life resulted in the creation of two new communication channels for hall residents: Bridge Link, a

monthly newsletter, and weekly hall forums de- signed to encourage dialogue between students, wardens, tutors, and management representatives. Graduate Employment An online job information centre was launched in 1995 to provide information about employment opportunities for graduates of all seven

tertiary institutions in Hong Kong. Supported by the seven institutions, the Joint Institutional Job Information System is hosted by HKUST. An employment survey of the second under- graduate class to graduate indicated that 955 members of the Class of 1995 were employed full- time by 31 December 1995, while another 111 were pursuing full-time postgraduate study. To- gether they constitute approximately 97% of the class. DISTRIBUTION OF FULL-TIME EMPLOYED GRADUATES BY EMPLOYMENT SECTOR Manufacturing & Industries 140 (14.8%) Construction 30 (3.2%) Commerce & Business Respondents: 946 ANNUAL REPORT rf Old 95-96 UNIVERSITY STAFF 1995-96, two honorary titles were approved for addition to the University's staff grades. The title of University Professor is to be awarded to serving professors who merit recognition for outstanding contributions to scholarship and the Univer-

sity. The Emeritus title is to be conferred at the time of retirement upon academic and administrative staff members who have earned recognition for meritorious service and contributions to

the University. Both titles are to be awarded following a rigorous selection procedure.

To enhance client-oriented service and quality assurance, the University continued to implement a review system whereby a panel consisting of "clients" as well as peers assists in the perform- ance review of heads of administrative units. New in local universities, this system complements the University's innovations in academic review procedures and underpins a concerted effort to improve the accountability of administrative staff.

The year under review saw the retirement of the founding Vice-President for Administration and Business, Mr Ian MACPHERSON, who began his long association with HKIJST in 1986 as secretary- general of the University's Planning Committee. The following appointments to senior academic staff positions were made during the year:

Prof Vincent Y. S. SHEN, Associate Vice-President for Academic Affairs (Postgraduate Studies and Academic Research) Prof TISG Pang-Hsin, Dean of Humanities and Social Science Prof Leonard Kwok-Hon CHENG, Head of the Department of Economics Prof Andrew G. WALDER, Head of the Division of Social Science Prof Jerry H. C. WANG, Head of the Department of Biochemistry The University's staff establishment was 2,300 during 1995-96. By year's end, 2,246 posts (97.7%) had been filled. ANNUAL REPORT f9B 95-'I6 131 Governance of the University is shared by three bodies established under provisions of the HKUST Ordinance. The Court is the University's supreme advisory body. The Council is

its supreme governing body, and the Senate is its supreme academic body. University Court The Court's annual meeting was held on 11 April 1996 with Council members and senior staff of the University also in attendance. At that meet- ing, President Chia-Wei Woo reported on plans for the University's development over the next five years and presented a draft proposal for a new R&D facility, the UST Annex. The meeting was highlighted by a tree-plant- ing ceremony in which Court members, assisted by officers of the Students' Union, each planted a sapling to symbolise the planting of their roots in the soil of HKUST. Court membership in 1995-96 included 29 appointed members, 6 ex-officio members, and 4 representatives of the University Senate. Follow- ing the retirement of one of the Court's appointed members, Mr SHEX Jueren, in April 1996, 12 seats remained to be filled. ANNUAL REPORT 'f fK 95-96 University Council The Council met in plenary session twice during the year, in November and April. Between plenary meetings, the Council's Standing Committee met each month, acting on behalf of the Council on matters requiring executive and policy decisions.

Among the initiatives requiring the Council's attention were measures to improve and protect the superannuation scheme for University staff, and efforts to marshal support for an increase in the Government-stipulated quota of undergraduate student housing. In addition to reviewing the 1995-96 audited accounts and the 1996-97 recurrent budget, the Council approved a $12 million loan to Hong Kong Supernet Limited, enabling it to invest in the construction of an Internet backbone for Asia and to recoup the investment many times over when Supernet was sold to an international consortium later in the year. The Council also approved the introduction of honorary titles to the University's staff grades, and the honorary degrees to be awarded at the Fourth Congregation. Among the committees reporting to the Council, the Campus Project Management Committee, established in 19S7 by order of the ExecL1tik.e

University Senate The Senate is responsible for setting the University's academic policies. In 1995-96, the Senate created a Committee on Academic Integrity to deal

with issues related to academic integrity and be- haviour detrimental to it. The Senate also agreed, thanks to constructive student participation in its deliberations, to modify a rule governing student expulsion that had been in effect, and to grant an extension of the study time allowed to students serving on executive committees of the Students' Union. Chaired by the University President, the Senate consists of 48 members. Of these, 30 retain membership by virtue of their position in the

University while 16 are elected from the academic staff, and 2 from the student body. ANNUAL REPORT qf OR 95-96

95-96 年報 香港科技大學 1995至1996年度，是大學成立 以後的第五個年頭：如果從它開始籌 備的日子算起，現在已是科大的第十 年了。 香港科技大學的籌備要員會是在 1986年7月正{????}言腄A並於同年9月舉 行第一次會議。委員會以不到兩年的 時間，完成大學的規劃工作，然後再 用三年時{????}h籌組大學的架構、興建 校舍和羅致合適的人才擔任教職員。 第一批約800位學生在1991年10 月開始入學。從那時起，大學的學生 人數便穩步急升；到本年度，大學的 '全日制等値學生人數'已增加至 6,077人，實際人數為6,295人，其中 研究生有1,156人，佔全部學生人數 的18%。以本地的標準來說．科大的 研究生比例己算相當高，而這正是科 大的辦學宗旨。 除教學工作外，大學也不斷努力 拓展其學術研究和技術服務。在學術 研究方面．香港科技大學雖然歷史尚 短，但在競逐政府的研究資助時，再 於總資助額及申請資助成功率等項目 上，領先本港其他院校，切切實實地 反映出大學對科研和研究生培訓工作 的重視。 至於技術服務，科大繼續在本港 的大專界中開創先河。大學的全資附 屬公司Hong Kong Supernet，率先為 本港提供國際電腦網絡服務。在本年 度中，大學出售這家公司。獲利超過 3,600萬元。 總結這一年的成果，我希望藉著 這個機會，向大學顧問委員會、大學 校董會和救務委員會，以及它們核下 各委員會的所有同事，還有全體教職 員致意，感謝大家在1995至1996年 度內為大學所作的貢獻。 目錄 校董會主席前言 一年回顧 校長報告 教學 研究 校園發展 財務 學生 大學教職員 大學顧問委員書、大學校董會、及教務委員會 大事紀要 附錄 一〕核數師聲明 資產負債表 收支報表 每位學生一般開支約數 二〕捐贈者名錄 三〕大學顧問委員會、大學校董會、及數務委員會 四〕校長顧問委員會及學術顧問委員會 五〕到訪貴賓 截至1995年12月31日止，大學共 有5,139位本科生，及1,156位研 究生；教師則達到了509人。 在1995年11月2日及3日舉行的學 位頒授典禮中，1,104位本科生及 2l6位研究生獲大學頒發學位；另 外，大學又頒授榮譽博士學位予 張立綱教授〔香港科技大學理學院 院長［、李嘉誡博士〔長江實業集 團有限公司及和記黃埔有限公司 主席〕、路甬徉教授〔中國科學院常 務副院長〕、及麥蘊利爵士〔前英皇 御準香港賽馬會主席，並為科大 校董會創會成員之一〕。 電機及電子工程學系的專業資格 已獲香港工程師學會完全認可， 該學會也初步認可化學工程學系 和工業工程及工程管理學系的專 業資格。 本年度開辦的新課程包括財務學 系的投資管理理學碩士課程，這 項課程在香港尚屬首創。 在1995年，物理學系、工學院、 及工商管理學院率先為有意入讀 本校的預科學生舉辦暑期研習 班，讓大學的設施更能物盡其 用。在1996年，工學院首次開辦 有學分的暑期課程。 科大學生除了在課堂上表現出眾 外，還在本地、地區性、和國際 性的比賽中取得出類拔萃的成 績，充份發揮了他們在科大所接 受的優質教育。本年度最為矚目 的比賽成績，是計算機科學系同 學組成的學生隊連續第二次打進 國際大學校際計算機程式設計決 賽，成為參賽隊伍中名次排於前 百分之一的優秀勁旅。 在競逐研究資助局頒發的研究經 費方面，科大的學者再度在獲資 助的研究計劃數目、總資助額、 及申請資助成功率等各方面，領 先本港其他院校的同行。 科大的研究人員在生物科學、數 學、化學工程、及光電子學等領 域裏，都有重要的研究成果發 表；此外，本年內有四項涉及生 物技術、計算機科學、微電子 學、及機械工程等領域的發明， 成功取得美國專利權。 大學在技術轉移方面有可觀的增 長。大學與多家本地區和跨國性 的機構簽署了二十多項、總値達 900萬元的研究合約，所涉及的技 術範圍包括：生物技術、電子技 術、多媒體應用、及塑料工業。 被新加坡《亞洲國際電腦網絡報 告》譽為'亞洲最優秀國際電腦網 絡服務公司'的Hong Kong Supernet，已由大學轉售予一個 國際集團，售價為4,700萬餘元， 標誌著一個完整的研究與開發週 期的圓滿結束。 大學繼續收到來自個別人士、公 司、和基金會等的慷慨捐贈，其 中包括瑞安有限公司捐贈2,500萬 元，用來資助大學興建新的研發 設施--科大新翼。為紀念該公司 的慷慨捐贈，座落於科大新翼向 的一個中國經濟管理研究中心， 已被命名為'瑞安中國經管中 心"。 當此過渡時期，科大推動在校園 內成立歐洲研究所，以及組織東 亞研究型大學協會，並積極參與 其中的工作，它們將 會加强科大與國際間 的合作。 隨著這份年度報告的提出，我 校的創校階段，也就是說首五年， 至此告一圓滿結束。 對於校董會各位委員，學校的 教職員、同學、及校友們來說，這 五年可說是豐富美滿。如果按照最 初的建校計劃，我校應於1994年秋 季才開學；可是，提前了足足三 年。按照政府當時的預期，至少需 時七年才能收滿7,000名學生，達到 平穩撥款階段：可是，基本上在五 年向就完成了任務。這樣超速的進 展，讓科大比預計多培養了約6,000 個畢業生，並且為香港的納稅人作 出了可觀的節約。尤可告慰的是， 在這短短的五年時間裏，建立起了 一所壯健的學府，遠遠超出了我們 的夢想。 在過去一年裏，學校在教學上 不懈地進行'連續評估'．藉功課作 業和經常的測驗來幫助同學加深對 課程的了解。在暑期中．開了一些 帶學分的班，使得同學能夠分散三 年課程，減輕負擔；也同時招收了 一批即將進入大學的中學高班生， 使得他們有機會提前起步。値得一 提的是，這些暑期教學任務，是由 教師們在沒有額外報酬的{????}峇U完 成的。 我校的同學在國際和本港的多 項學術競賽中，表現了卓越的成績。 許多畢業生決定進修高等學位：那 些選擇去海外升學的，多能進入一 流學府，並且獲得資助。令人高興 的是，在七位得到學業成就奬的本 屆畢業生中，有四位決定留在科大 繼續攻讀研究生學位。 我校的同學，在畢業後，大部 分照香港慣例選擇立時就業。他們 在筧職時很少遇到困難。從一些評 語中可以看出，僱主們對我校畢業 生的能力感到高度滿意。 在研究方面，我校教師在同行 評估的競賽中，不論撥款總額、獲 選項目多少、成功率、或是人均擭 款數額．都繼續領先本港其他高等 院校。我校在學術上的成就，在許 多科技發達國家(如美國、英國、德 同、和日本〕的刊物上備受讚許。 科大的主要使命之一是要經應 用研究和開發來導致技術轉移--把 研究和開發的成果應用於提升基礎 建設、工業程序、及商業產品。也 就是說：直接服務社區，促進地區 的經濟和社會發展。 在過去一年裏，由於大學在技 術和管理方面對於直接服務社區的 關注，應用研究和開發上的項目在 高級材料、亞洲金融市場、生物工 程、經濟發展、環境研究、信息技 術、基建發展、微系統、科學計 算、及軟件工程等跨學科領域裏， 都得到了蓬勃的發展，取得了可喜 的成績。 且舉一例：校屬Hong Kong Supernet國際電腦網絡服務公司。 它從構思、孵化開始；繼之以實際 運作，建立成香港最成功的國際電 腦網絡服務公司：而最終以高償出 售。Supernet的成立，提升了本港 的通訊服務，開創了一個新興企業 〔據說香港現有近70家此類網絡服 務公司〕，也為科大帶來了一筆可觀 的盈餘回收。這筆回收，可以作為 種子撥款，用來投資在其他新的技 術創業上；或許也可以作為槓桿， 帶來更多的公私投資。 相信科大走的道路大體上可算 正確。這一年來，討論了一些政策 上的調整，目的是為了提高士氣、 激勵、以及影響力。譬如說，'本地' 和'海外'新僱人員將會得到同等福 利；從事技術轉讓的教職員或將分 得股權；一些具有高度影響力的領 域(諸如能增進科大國際地位的領 域，或有利於香港經濟發展的領域〕 將會在校內得到額外的研究基建和 設備經費。 此外，我們已經開始把學校'人 情化'。就如在第三屆學位頒授典這 中所說，我們希望校園生活能更溫 雅、更文明，科大的發展能更面向 中國、更面向世界。 譬如說，老師督導愛護同學， 及資深教授關懷輔攜後進，都是校 園溫雅化的實質表現。在這方面所 採取的具體措施包括：建立對本科 生的輔導制度，使得每一位同學都 能常常與導師在課外晤談；委任更 多的年青教師進入學校的各種委員 會，讓他們參與學校的治理。 為了使得校園生{????}韝憍{????} ，大 學會舉辦更多文化活動，並且鼓勵 各界參與。事實上，我們的活動節 目已經相當豐富，經常有展覽、演 講、音樂會、及表演。為了使這些 活動更能供校內外人士欣賞和享 受，我們需要多作一點統籌和協調 的工作，因此成立了一個'藝術中 心'，去更有效地策劃和安排這些活 動： 既然不可能在清水灣建立'大學 城'，就得盡量設法把校園建設成環 境宜人、氣氛和諧的'大學村'。這 一年來，第5-7座教職員宿舍樓完了 工，能供66家救職員居住；且又動 工建造156套高級教職員宿舍、'大 學中心'、及270套供研究生、研究 人員、和一些年青同事使用的宿 舍。這些新建築都由學校自籌資金 興建：建成後，很大部分教職員和 所有全時研究生都能搬進校區居 住。此外還用自籌的基金，動工興 建一些康樂設施，包括崖邊小徑、 亭閣、仿古村、畔山公園、臨海燒 烤場等等：這些都是為了使校園裏的 生{????}髂肮X和。 面向中國的一個內涵，就是要 幫助香港重拾對華夏文化的認同。 假以時日，科大會變成一所雙語學 府，經常運用兩種文字、三種方言 〔英語，廣州話，及普通話〕。學校根 據校董會的建議，已經盡量在學校 的正式文件和刊物裏採用了雙語。 雖然英文仍然會是教學用語，但是 在一些適當的場合裏，愈來愈多的 非學術性活動將會採用中文。 面向中國的另外一個內涵，就 是要為香港和內地的經濟結合作出 貢獻。科大與內地的學術交流發展 得很快。從歐美等西方學術機構聘 請來港的持中國護照的教師，已近 100位。此外，來自內地的還有約 100位研究人員和160位研究生。最 近，科大和中國科學院成立了一個 在生命科學和生物技術領域裏的聯 合實驗室。另外，在微電子、信息 技術、和高級材料等三個領域裏， 不久也將相繼與中國科學院成立聯 合實驗室。 為海南行政人員舉辦的培訓項 目，於首期三年圓滿結束後，又重 新開辦了一系列的新項目。和珠江 三角洲，尤其是和深圳這個'姊妹 城'，合作也已加强。更令人高興 的，是瑞安經管中心的成立：這個 中心將從事對於中國的商業機制、 運作、和市場等各方面的研究．和 經理人才的培育。 要面向世界，就要認識到：香 港地處要津，是東亞、北美、和西 歐地區相互往來的交匯點。科大要 起觸媒作用．促成在技術和管理等 方面的密切合作。過去一年裏，九 所亞洲學府的校長共同成立了'東亞 研究型大學協會'，把會址設在科 大。協會的會員在增加到13名後． 將開始加以限制，原因是會員們盼 望這個協會能夠具正促進會員大學 間的實質合作，避免流為虛形的社 交團體。 在科大成立一所'歐洲研究所'， 框架已經成形。由歐盟所有國家的 駐港總領事、歐洲委員會香港辦事 處總監、及一些學術界和企業界領 導人所共同組成的指導委員會已經 成立。在'歐洲研究所'之下，將有 一些針對個別國家的中心。正在籌 備中的'德國中心'和'英國中心'， 成立了包含多位大學校長、研究所 所長、和企業高級經理在內的指導 委員會。這些中心的目的是加强現 有的合作、為師生和社會提供更好 的後勤服務，及為對東亞〔特別是中 國〕具有强烈興趣而又一時不願冒險 投入的一些歐洲機構提供立足點。 總的來說，科大在過去這年裏 柬裝就緒，準備進入早臨的成熟 期。有人會說，一所大學平地而 起，五年過短。可是在步伐特快的 香港，五年就像是永遠，不容許我 們蹣跚遲疑。在熱烈等候1997年這 個歷史性關鍵時刻的來臨，我校會 腳踏實地，掌握現在，放眼未來， 以實幹來迎接'港人治港'的新時 代。 踏入1995至1996學年，評核教 與學程序更受到學校和各界所重 視，其中包括大學教育資助委員會 〔教資會〕轄下'教與學質量保證程序 評核小組'所帶動的評核工作。 該項對本港七所大專院校進行 的評核工作是由1996年開始，目前 已訪問了四所大學。1996年4月11日 及12日，評核小組到科大進行一天 半的訪問，他們的行程包括與校內 12個學系〔全校共有19個學系〕的師 生會面；此外，他們也訪問各學院 的行政部門及教學支援單位。 這次評核工作强調教與學的相 互結合。大家都認同：教育不應該 是單向地傳授知識；學習到'怎樣去 學習'的學生，遠勝過那些被動地接 受知識的'填鴨'。要領會這教學理 念的成果，最好是走到教室以外的 環境，看它怎樣發生作用。在1996 年度裏，多位科大學生有卓越的成 就，就是反映教學質素的好例子。 卓越成就之一，是科大學生隊 在國際大學校際計算機程式設計比 賽中的驕人成績。在1995年的比賽 中，科大學生隊已初試啼聲，有出 色的表現；而在1996年的比賽中， 他們再接再厲，於遠赴美國參加最 後決賽時，擊敗多所名牌大學的强 隊，其中包括加州理工學院、哥倫 比亞大學、和多倫多大學，並高踞 亞洲各隊之首。 在另一個截然不同的場合裏， 科大的英語辯論隊於1996年4月3日，在香港的大學校際英語辯論比 賽中，出人意表地擊敗了衡冕的香 港大學辯論隊。科大雖然沒有法律 學{????}傳統上是培育優秀學生辯論 隊的溫床，但它重視學生的語文技 巧訓練，所有學生的英語水平必須 達到一定程度才可以畢業。學校的 語言中心每年會為四分之三以上的 新生開辦英語課程，協助他們達到 上述語文水平的要求。科大英語辯 論隊的優秀表現，證明一些同學的 英語水平遠遠超過了學校所定的標 準。 卓越的成績並非祇在競賽中才 能表現出來，有些科大同學就想到 把學到的知識，用來回饋社會。由 一群富有進取心的生物學系同學發 起的'倡導環境保護意識在香江'計 劃，就是一例。他們在老師的指導 下籌備這項計劃，並在1995至1996 年度，獲得兩個環境組織播款資 助，讓他們可以製作展示材料，用 來到三十多間中學去傳播有關環境 問題的知識。 諸如以上所述的成功例子，都 是科大在教與學上有良好發展的明 證。另一方面，教師們也表現積 極，對改良教學課程不遺餘力。 1996年5月8日，六十餘位教師出席 了'科大本科生之在學經驗'研討 會，與教學助理和學生交流彼此在 教與學方面的心得。這次研討會的 重點包括大學的辦學理念。在會 上，也有同學表達了他們對教學課 程中一些問題的切身感受。學校收 集了在研討會中提出的多項寶貴建 議，並會在未來一年中考慮作具體 改善。 隨著第五個學年的結束，大學 會繼續它對提昇教學質素的努力， 讓教師和學生在科大能體驗到教學 相長的效益。 在研究和開發週期中，有些單 位在理論層面上雖各不相干，而在 實際應用層面上卻經常相互交叉。 不過，在香港科技大學，基礎研究 〔傳統上被定義為開拓知識領域的活 動〕和應用研究〔一般指尋找實際解 決問題方案和應用方法的活動〕事實 上都屬同一創新活動的不同層面。 這類活動會進一步在開發過程中， 把研究成果落實成為有用、具商業 價値的產品或服務。這個過程又稱 為技術轉移。 大學在1995至1996年度內，經 由上送研發週期得到了豐碩的成 果。其中最矚目的，是大學把本港 第一個成功的國際網絡服務公司 Hong Kong Supernet，出售給一個 國際集團。把這個研發成果轉移到 私營機構，大學證明了，在學術環 境中進行的研發週期不但可行，而 且還能對社會大眾作出貢獻。 學術研究 在香港科技大學裏進行的科研 項目，涉及的範圍相當廣泛，由於 篇幅所限，本年報祇能在大學各不 同領域的研究中，選列部分較具代 表性的成果；大學每年出版的《研究 報告》記載了所有校內正在進行的研 究項目及其摘要，有興趣的人士可 以參考該刊物。 ．在生物科學領域裏，生物化學系 鄭天佑教授在蛋白質摺疊的機理 研究方面，取得新的進展；此 外，生物系葉玉如博士和詹華强 博士在神經肌肉突觸中，發現一 種重要的受體，為神經生物學帶 來重要的突破。 ．數學方面，謝定裕教授和王筏平 博士對Van der Waals流體的相變 研究作出重要貢獻：於坤瑞教授 就代數數對數的線性型的p-adic理 論發表了重要的研究結果；韋邁 樂教授也有重要成果發表，他建 立了通用於多種電磁流體系統的 穩定性條件。 化學工程學系的研究人員在余寶 樂教授、俞堅博士、及其他教員 的帶領下，針對本港諸如漂染、 印刷、及電鍍等工業所產生的有 害廢料，開發了一種新技術，可 望把這些廢料減少到接近不用排 放的目標；在另一項創新的研究 中，弭永利博士成功製成一種可 用作仿木物質的强化複合材料， 此種材料以天然纖維混入塑膠造 成。 在光電子技術領域，物理學系蘇 蔭强博士所領導的研究小組研製 成高效率的發光薄膜，這種光電 材料可以適合任何波長的可見光 應用。 -1995至1996年度向，科大研究人 員共獲頒發四項美國專利權。在 生物技術方面，科大生物化學系 的王子暉教授和中文大學的譚兆 祥博士開發出一種新的築物傳遞 技術，為諸如糖尿病等慢性疾病 患者帶來治療的新希望。在計算 機科學方面，顧鈞教授及其學生 Puri博士發明一種設計異步計算機 架構的新方法。在徵電子技術領 域中，以電機及電子工程學系廖 家俊博士為首的一組研究人員， 開發出一種新的磁傳感器，這種 傳感器既可以改善錄音機和硬碟 機等磁化記錄器件的效能，也能 降低它們的製造成本。第四項專 利屬於機械工程學系的冷揚博 士、張統一博士、米耀榮教授、 及研究生康飛宇，他們發明了一 種製造石墨層間化合物的新方 法，這類化合物是供核電站關鍵 元許應用的耐高溫密封材料。 合約研究 合約研究既是推動技術轉移的 工具，同時也是大學對社會作出貢 獻的一種方式。大學透過與工業界 和政府進行合作研究，進一步鞏固 它作為香港重要科技資源的地位， 並履行協助本地區發展經濟的使 命。 以前的年報也曾提過，在本港 大專院校所取得的合約研究協議 中，金額最高的一宗是由香港科技 大學取得。這項合約研究是為香港 正在興建的新國際機場開發一套氣 象監測系統。在1995年12月，這開 發計劃到達一個重要里程碑，皇家 香港天文台批准了這個風切預警系 統的原型，讓實際應用的氣象監測 系統可以投產。 在另一個與此相關的研究計劃 中，大學的研究中心已著手開發一 套風力監測系統，以提昇高速的機 場鐵路露天部分在颳强風以至颱風 時的安全程度。 其他値得一提的合約研究協議 包括： ．李錦記集團有限公司--成立香港 傳統中藥研究中心，從傳統中藥 裏提煉新的保健產品。 ．德國拜耳公司--開發新一代抗瘧 疾藥物。 ．香港電訊有限公司--針對以視象 自選服務進行家中購物的應用， 開發高效能的用戶介面。 萬力半導體香港有限公司--開發 供液晶顯示器應用的玻璃基板晶 片技術。 穆格公司--開發供注塑機用的自 適應控制技術。 香港工業總{????}針對香港輸入勞 工和失業率高企問題進行經濟數 據分析。 研究用基礎設施 為改善跨部門研究單位的管理 規劃，大學已修訂其匯報架構，並 在1995至1996年度開始推行，以確 保這些研究單位是向有關的學院院 長和副校長〔研究及發展〕負責。 在這一年內，高新材料研究所研究資助 研究經費統籌處在1995至1996 年度內，總共處理了8l2項新收到的 研究資助及旅費補助申請，較去年 增加了26 。本年度有511項研究計 劃成功地獲得資助〔部分申請是在 1994至1995年度向提交的〕，獲揆款 總額達1 27憶元。 1995至1996年度內，大學正在 進行中的獲資研究計劃共有1，096 項，涉及的揆款達4.62億元〔研究計 劃數目和獲資助總金額均較去年上 升了23 〕。 在競逐政府研究資助局每年批 核的研究經費方面，香港科技大學 本年度再一次在獲資助的研究計劃 數目、總資助額、及申請資助成功 率等項目上高踞首位。根據1996年 6月公佈的1996至1997年度撥款數 據，科大共有134項研究計劃獲得該 局撥款，總款額達6,850萬元，較去 年增加了21 。另外還有68項研究 計劃〔佔申請計劃總數的28 〕雖然獲 得推薦，但因為該局可以撥出的經 費有限，以致得不到資助。 在過去的年報中曾經提過，大 學為了向教職員和學生提供優良的 住宿條件，正積極在校園內興建更 多宿舍單位。 截至1996年6月底，一個包含 IS6個單位的高級職員宿舍建築工程 正順利進行。當整個工程在1996年 內完成時，大學將可以為所有合格 的教職員提供宿舍。屆時大學不用 再為高級教職員支付校外住房的狙 金，省下來的款項可以用來清還為 興建宿舍向銀行借來的貸款，預計 在五到六年內就可以還清。 此外，新研究生宿舍的興建工 程也接近完成階段。這項工程將會 提供270個、每個可容納四位研究生 的宿舍房間。新宿舍落成後，大學 將可以從1996至1997年度下學期開 始，為所有全日制研究生，以及部 分教研人員、國際會議來賓、和參 加行政人員培訓課程的人士提供宿 位。 除新宿舍外，大學還同時興建 一座大學中心，供教職員和學生作 文娛康樂活動用。値得强調的是， 上述所有建築工程都是大學自行籌 建的，完全沒有增加納稅人的負擔 或揆用捐贈者對大學的資助。

的計劃已獲批准，學校的研究所數 目因而增加到八所；此外，幾個研 究中心也相繼成立，其中包括：築 物傳遞技術中心、顯示技術研究中 心、經濟發展研究中心、及電腦網 絡空間中心等。 大學又與中國科學院達成協 議，在校園內成立一所生命科學與 生物技術聯合實驗室；雙方並正計 劃在微電子技術、高新材料、及信 息科技等領域成立聯合實驗室。 在截至1996年6月3O日為止的 財政年度內，大學的學生人數和教 研活動繼續穩步增長。在本年度結 算時，大學的總資產淨値增加至 40.3109億元〔部分已因銀行貸款增加 而抵銷〕，增長主要來自正在興建的 高級教職員宿舍、研究生宿舍、和 大學中心，以及銀行存款中有大量 盈餘現金。大學在本年度中以高價 出售了Hong Kong Supernet有限公 司，這項交易是造成大學有大量盈 餘現金的主要原因之一。 本年度的一般收入上升了 18 ，總額達16.4517億元，這與學 生人數在本年度的升幅一致。大學 的一般開支主要由大學教育資助委 員會〔教資會〕揆款資助，這類支出在 本年度裏增加了6 ，總額達 15.0848億元。 在特定收入方面，本年度增加 了23 ，總額為4.3784億元，增長 主要來自大學出售Hong Kong Supernet有限公司，以及由一般收 入盈餘中轉揆過來的款項。由教資 會撥款，作為購置基本教學設施、 專f1設備和設施、傢具和一般設 備，以及其他建設資助等用途的特 定開支，在本年度的總額為1.6094 億元；其他由教資會按指定用途撥 款的特定開支為5,216萬元。 大學在編 T1995至1996年度的 財務報表〔巳摘錄在本年報附錄一內〕 時，除固定資產的資本化政策外， 其餘部分均已採用'大學教育資助委 員會資助香港院校建議會計守則'， 這項建議會計守則參考了本港七所 院校的核數師和香港會計師公會的 觀點和意見，由各院校主管財務的 行政人員一起制訂及推薦施行。雖 然該守則建議，只有那些以信貸方 式支付的固定資產才給予資本化， 但大學仍決定沿用其固定資產資本 化的會計政策，把所有固定資產都 資本化，其用意是要在大學的賬簿 內，記錄和反映這些固定資產的原 來財務價値。 捐贈 對於個別人士、公司、和基金 會等在1995至1996年度裏的慷慨捐 贈，大學深表感謝。各捐贈者的芳 名已詳列在附錄二裏。 本年度的主要捐贈者包括瑞安 有限公司，該公司承諾捐贈2,500萬 元，用來資助大學興建科大新翼。 第一期為數250萬元的捐款已送交大 學。另外，捷成教育基金會捐贈100 萬元，以供該公司1996至1997年度 的奬助學金計劃之用；電視廣播有 限公司再次把160萬元捐給該公司為 科大專設的電視廣播基金：中國銀 行則把總値189萬元的科大中銀卡首 年年費捐給大學。 在研究資助方面，主要的有香 港電訊教育基金，他們繼續落實其 對科大香港電訊研究所的資助承 諾，在本年度向共撥出677萬元。該 基金會承諾捐出的總額為一憶元。 大學在本年度內共頒發了217名 奬學金，以及323名助學金和貸款， 總金額達545萬元。在資助教師進行 研究方面，本年度的撥款為549萬 元；至於在國際會議、研討會、學術 交流、學生研究計劃、及藝術活動等 方面的資助，撥款總額為134萬元。 大學也收到多項實物捐贈，其 中最為矚目的，是中華電力有限公 司所捐的一台掃描式電子顯微鏡， 它價値100萬元。 學術成就 在第三屆學位頓授典禮中，有 七位畢業生獲頒學業成就奬，以奬 勵他們在整個三年的本科課程中， 學業成績平均一直保 持在甲級或以上，即 平均分數在10.75分或 以上〔滿分為12分〕 這七位勤奮好學的畢 業生是：畢白麗〔組織 管理學系〕、陳國浩 〔機械工程學系〕、簡 偉銓〔電機及電子工程 學剃、 Rajesh H. Hathiramani財務 學系〕、姜振揚〔電機及電子工程學 系〕、麥善勇〔化學系〕、及王志良 〔計算機科學系〕 此外，在每個學期結束時，學 校會編製優異生名錄，以褒奬在該 學期學業平{????}b10分以上〔滿分為 12分〕的同學。本年度上學期共有 261位同學〔佔本科生總人數5.1 〕 得到這項榮譽：在下學期，得奬人 數上升至283人〔佔本科生總人數 5.5 〕 在199S至1996年度內，共有 187位成績優異的學生，領取了總値 達389萬元的奬學金。如果不是可提 供的奬學金數目有限，獲奬名額應 不止此數。 課外活動 儘管功課繁重，香港科技大學 的學生仍能善用學校的設施，讓他 們的校園生活繽紛多采和充滿活 力。 在1995至1996年度裏，學生會 及其屬會繼續改進服務。1996年2月 舉行的第一屆學生節，充分展示了 科大學生團體的多元化。截至本學 年結束為止，校內的學生團體已增 加至80個。 科大同學一向熱衷參與各種校 際運動比賽及其他競賽。在端午節 期間，六十餘位同學組成三支隊 伍，參加一年一度在西貢舉行的龍 舟競渡。在外地，科大田徑隊八位 健兒參加了在中國成都舉行的第四 屆中國全國大學生田徑錦標賽：資 訊與系統管理學系學生張歐逢和機 械工程學系學生黎錦圖代表香港， 出席在日本舉行的1995年世界大學 生運動會。 在本年度內，市場學系二年級 同學陳雅儀、土木及結構工程學系 三年級同學羅達智、及會計學系三 年級同學梁偉健獲頒僳出學生服務 奬，以表揚他們為其他同學所作的 服務。 宿舍 大學的學生人數在1995至1996 年度增加了逾干人，而校內的學生 宿位有限，使得對宿位的需求更形 迫切。 目前學校祇能為5,139位本科生 〔按照1995年12月31日的數字〕，提 供1,722個宿位，致令有些同學雖然 住所離學校超過90分鐘車程以上， 也無法分配到宿位。 為了解決研究生的住宿問題， 讓所有希望住校的全日制研究生都 可以得到宿位，學校將研究生宿舍 二座樓的229個供單人住宿的房間 暫時妀為雙人房。預計到1996年 底，當新的研究生宿舍落成後，上 述擠迫情況可以得到解決。 為提高宿舍生活的質素，學校 開閒了兩種溝通渠道：《橋介》月報 和每週舉行的宿舍座談會，希望藉 以促進學生、舍監、宿舍導師、及 宿舍管理人員之間的交流。 畢業生就業 為本港七間院校的畢業生提供 就業資料的聯校就業電腦資料庫， 已於1995年正式啓用。該資料庫現 存放在科大的電腦系統內，由七間 大學共同提供支援。 關於畢業生的實際擇業結果， 一項就業調查顯示，截至1995年12 月3l日止，科大的第二{????}賑麮朶~ 生中，有955人巳找到全職工作，另 外有111人繼續攻讀全日制研究課 程，二者之和約佔該{????}賑麮朶~生 總人數的97 。 製造業及其他工業 建造業 商業 教育 政府 社區及社會服務 收回問卷數目 在1995至1996年度內，大學通 過增設兩項榮譽職銜。'大學講座教 授'榮銜是頒予曾對學術研究和大學 有傑出貢獻的現職教授，以表揚他 們的成就；'榮休教授'榮銜則頒予 正要退休、而在任內曾對大學作出 優良服務和重要貢獻的教師和高級 行政人員。大學會根據一套嚴謹的 評選程序，去頒授上述榮銜。 為加强以服務對象為本的工作 態度和保證服務質量，大學再推行 一項評核制度，各部門主管的工作 表現會由特別成立的評核團進行評 審，評核團成員包括有關部門的服 務對象和同事。這種評核行政人員 的方式，與另一項對教學人員進行 的學術評審制度，同屬本地大學的 創舉，其目標是聿固行政人員繼續 克盡己職的努力。 本年度向，創校副校長〔行政及 總務［麥法誠先生退休：早於1986年 時，麥法誠先生已參與科大的工 作，擔任大學籌備委員會秘書長。 大學在本年度內委任以下高級 教學人員： 沈運申教授--協理副校長〔研究生 教務及學術研究〕 丁邦新教授--人文社會科學學院 院長 鄭國漢教--經濟學系系主任 魏昂德教授--社會科學{????}D任 王學荊教授--生物化學系系主任 大學教職員編制在1995至1996 年度的總人數為2,300人；截至本年 度結束時為止，學校共僱用了2,246 人，佔總編制員額97. 7 。 根據香港科技大學條例的規 定，科大成立了三個組織去分擔管 轄大學的工作。大學顧問委員會是 科大的最高詻詢機構、大學校董會 是最高決策機構、而教務委員會則 是最高學術機構。 大學顧問委員會 大學顧問委員會於1996年4月 11日舉行本年度的週年大會，大學 校董會成員及大學的高級教職員也 出席這次會議。校長具家璋教授在 會中報告了大學未來五年的發展計 劃，並展示一項新研究及發展設施 科大新翼 的興建計劃草 圖。 這次週年大會還包括一項植樹 儀式，大學顧問委員會成員在學生 會幹事的陪同下，每人親手裁種一 株樹苗，象徵他們植根於科大。 在1995至1996年度，大學顧問 委員會有29位委任委員、六位當然 委員、及四位來自教務委員會的代 表。其中委任委員沈覺人先生於 1996年4月退休。在本年度結束時， 大學顧問委員會共有12個席位懸 空。 大學顧問委員會、大學校董會、及教務委員會 大學校董會 大學校董會在本年度分別於 1995年11月及1996年4月舉行全體 大會。在兩次全體大會之間，校董 會轄下的常務委員會每月{????}l開會 議，代表校董會執行決策事宜。 需要校董會闕注和主導的事項 包括：探討改善和保障大學教職員 公積金計劃的措施，以及促請政府 提高本科生宿位的限額。 在財務方面。校董會除審閱 1995至1996年度已經核數的財務報 表，以及1996至1997年度的經常性 開支預算外．還在本年度裏批准給 予Hong Kong Supernet有限公司 1，200萬元的貸款，讓該公司可以投 資鋪設一條供亞洲區應用的國際電 腦網絡主幹網絡。其後大學把 supernet轉售予一個國際集團，令 此項投資得到多倍的回報。 此外，校董會也通過了為校內 教職員增設兩項榮譽職銜的議案， 以及將會在第四屆學位頒授典禮上 頒授榮譽學位的名單。 負責大學校園建築工程的校園 工程管理委員會，在本年度中正式 解散。該委員會於1987年由行政局 授命成立，專責監督大學校園的早 期建築工程。該委員會是由麥蘊利 爵士擔任主席。 在1995至1996年間，有四位校 董會成員退休：鄭漢鈞博士、夏傑 生爵士、林李翹如女士、及韋敬誠 將軍。他們自從政府成立大學的籌 備委員會開始，即已為大學服務， 對大學貢獻良多。 1996年4月1日，陳南祿先生、 李國能議員、及楊啓彥先生加入校 董會；季國能議員並且出任校董會 副主席一職。 由教務委員會推選的徐淑英教 授，於1996年1月1日加入校董會。 大學校董會 常務委員會 主席：鍾土元爵士 副主席：鄭漢鈞博士〔至1996年3月31日止〕 副主席：李國能議員〔自1996年4月17日起〕 審計委員會 主席：麥蘊利爵士 校園規劃與校產管理委員會 主席：鄭漢鈞博士〔至1996年3月31日止〕 副主席：麥蘊利爵士 待遇制訂委員會 主席：潘國濂先生 副主席：葉錫安先生 財務委員會 主席：劉華森先生 副主席：陳啓宗先生 榮譽學位委員會 主席：鍾士元爵士 招聘委員會 主席：唐裕年先生 副主席：錢果豐議員 教務委員會 教務委員會負責制訂大學的學 術政策。在1995至1996年度裏，教 務委員會成立了學術操守委員會， 處理有關學術操守的事宜。 在本年度內，出席教務委員會 會議的學生代表提出了不少具有建 設性的意見。已被該委員會接納 的，包括修改一項勒令學生退學的 規例，以及准許在學生會擔任幹事 職務的同學延長其修讀時限。 教務委員會在本年度內有48位 成員，由大學校長擔任主席；其中 3O位成員是按照他們在大學內的職 務而加入教務委員會，其他成員包 括16位由教師遴選的代表，以及兩 位學生代表。 AgendalRulesCommlttee 議程委員會 Prof Chia-Wei WOO, Chairman 主席：吳家瑋教授 Committee on Academic Integrity 學術操守委員會 Prof Joe H.
