[evdate 2001-07-04] HONG KONG UNIVERSITY OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY VOL.12 NO.5 4 JULY 2001 Genesis Vol.12 No.5 4 July 2001 Hong Kong University of Science and Technology Warmest welcome to new President An electrically charged new era dawns as the University hails the arrival of its second President, Prof Paul Ching-Wu Chu, who assumed office on 1 July. President Chu, a world expert in superconductivity, has been courted by many universities keen to acquire his talents. However, only HKUST and the exciting times that lie ahead in its second decade succeeded in persuading him to exchange the Lone Star state of Texas and the University of Houston, where he had worked for over 20 years, for the bright lights of the SAR. "Coming to Hong Kong gives me a sense of home-coming," says President Chu, who was born in China and whose parents are Cantonese. The University community is proud and happy to say: "Welcome back!"

Forging new ties with Peking University To be the best, work with the best. This philosophy, carved from day one into the Clear Water Bay outlook, has seen the University link up with many internationally renowned institutions to mutually enhance learning and research opportunities. Now a series of far-sighted initiatives are strengthening ties between HKUST and the prestigious Peking University (PKU), assisting the development of both universities, the Hong Kong Bay area and beyond. This fall, the universities join forces to launch two pioneering programs: an MD-PhD, run in conjunction with the groundbreaking PKU-HKUST Shenzhen Medical Center; and an International Executive MBA at the new PKU-HKUST Shenzhen-Hong Kong Research Institution. Training biomedical researchers The MD-PhD program offers the healthy prospect of creating the Chinese leaders of tomorrow in the medical field. The University's strong teaching and research in life sciences and biomedical areas make it the ideal place for top medical students at PKU to undertake PhDs before finishing their clinical studies at the Shenzhen Medical Center or PKU. As HKUST does not have its own medical school, this partnership allows it to help, and grow from, the discoveries of first-rate researchers in the field. "This type of MD-PhD program has been most successful in the United States, producing the best future medic al researchers. That is our goal too," says Prof Michael Loy, HKUST's Dean of Science. The initial intake will be between five and seven students. The Shenzhen Medical Center, a partnership of the Shenzhen Municipal Government, PKU and HKUST, will strive to offer advanced education for medical and life science professionals, develop and commercialize world-class R&D, and provide top quality health-care services. "It is an exciting project and a very significant one for HKUST to be involved in," says Prof Y M Shum, a vice-director of the Center and the University's representative for the initiative. "There is no medical center in Hong Kong or the Chinese Mainland in the sense of the University of California San Francisco Medical Center or the Washington University Medical Center in the US. The Shenzhen Medical Center, as planned, will be the first of its kind in China." Prof Loy adds: "Such collaborations use complementary strengths from all parties to bring about something that none can achieve alone." Equipping Chinese executives HKUST's School of Business and Management and PKU's Guanghua School of Management will launch an International Executive MBA (IEMBA) program in September. Aimed at senior executives in the Mainland, the program provides companies with the opportunity to capitalize on their corporate talent. It is modeled on the successful Kellogg-HKUST EMBA that has attracted high-flyers from around Asia with its weekend module structure and top faculty. "We are enthused about operating in the Mainland and believe the partnership model is the best. We are happy to partner with such a prestigious institution as Peking University. Students will have the advantage of learning from two top schools in the region and will become alumni of both," says Prof K C Chan, Acting Dean of the School of Business and Management. The program is designed for senior Chinese executives with a bachelor's degree and at least 10 years of post-graduation work experience, including five years at middle to senior level management. Initial recruitment focuses on Shenzhen and nearby cities, but in the long term executives from other parts of the Mainland will be targeted, boosting management skills throughout the country. A first intake of at least 35 students is planned. Classes will be held in the building of the PKU-HKUST Shenzhen-Hong Kong Institution, when it is ready for use in 2002, and hotel venues will be used in the meantime. Residential courses will also be held at both HKUST and PKU as part of the program. These enterprising ventures, along with earlier arrangements for joint research, student recruitment programs and adjunct professors, add up to a relationship between HKUST and PKU that is certainly going places. For when the north and south come together, the direction set must be an innovative one. Guanghua and HKUST Business School leaders at the HKUST-PKU IEMBA signing ceremony.

Associate Professor Bertram Shi (Electrical and Electronic Engineering) has been elected a Fellow by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) in recognition of his contribution to the analysis, implementation and application of cellular neural networks. At 35, he is one of the youngest researchers to receive this honor. A paper by Associate Professor Ishfaq Ahmad, Assistant Professor Dimitris Papadias and research students Thanasis Loukopoulos and Panos Kalnis (Computer Science) on "Active caching of on-line-analytical-processing queries in WWW proxies" has been selected as one of three best papers to be presented at the September 2001 International Conference on Parallel Processing, the oldest and most prestigious conference in the field. Associate Professor Kin-Man Lee (Civil Engineering) and his research team have won the Thomas A Middlebrooks Award from the American Society of Civil Engineers for their paper "Effects of placement method on geotechnical behavior of hydraulic fill sands". It is one of only two times that the award has been bestowed on research groups outside the US since it was established in 1955. Electrical and electronic engineering student Suk Han Lam has won first prize in the undergraduate section of the IEEE Region 10 Student Paper Contest, an inter-national contest for the Asia-Pacific region. Her peers Alton Kam-Fai Chan, Yu-Tung Wong and Pui-Yan Wong took third prize. GENESIS, 4 July 2001 3

Finding the path Hong Kong will not die!" proclaimed Dr Eden Woon, Director of the Hong Kong General Chamber of Commerce, in his keynote speech launching the Pathfinders 2001 career education program on 2 June. Over 80 students, alumni and staff learned from Dr Woon that Hong Kong is irreplaceable in spite of competition from other Chinese cities, and will continue to contribute to the economic growth of China even more after China enters the World Trade Organization. According to Dr Woon, Hong Kong's strength lies in three areas. First, it can provide international professional business services in law, accounting, marketing and public relations. Second, it is a financial center with international connections and a mature infrastructure. Third, it is a digital center where the international community will feel at home with their information technology. Dr Woon further outlined how university students could prepare themselves for the career opportunities unfolded by the economic developments in China. As the second part of their career preparation, the student "pathfinders" took part in a clinic on application letters and r廥um? writing. Student counselors from the HKUST Career Center used samples submitted by the students beforehand for review and instruction. HKUST graduates in demand Next on the menu was an experience-sharing lunch party with 35 alumni known as Honorary Advisors in Career Education (Hon ACEs). Mentoring provided by those who have already trodden their career paths is highly valued by those who plan to take their first steps. Prof Yuk-Shee Chan, Acting Vice-President for Academic Affairs, affirmed the contribution of the alumni in his speech and presentation of certificates. Lunch was followed by an interview workshop where participants split into small groups so that the Hon ACEs could talk about their experiences of career planning in greater detail and conduct mock interviews with the student pathfinders. The Saturday pro-gram set the stage for a series of company visits and management skills training modules during the following week. The pathfinders participated in half-day programs offered by employers such as Dun & Bradstreet, Ernst & Young, Exel and Merrill Lynch. Such onsite input and exposure have reinforced the learning of the students. Pathfinders is an annual career education program. It was launched by the Student Affairs Office in 1993. Although it has gone through revisions in format, it remains a favorite for students who want to take advantage of an intensive learning opportunity at the beginning of their summer break. It has also consolidated the HKUST culture of cooperation between student counselors, alumni and employers. The confluence of their contributions has influenced the career paths of HKUST students for almost a full decade.

Students wondering what to expect after graduation can take heart-they're in demand. The Report on Graduate Employment Survey 2000 prepared by Shirley Choi, Executive Officer with HKUST's Career Center, has good news for graduates. *Compared with 1999, the 2000 crop of graduates attracted more and better paid jobs-and the offers came in faster. Economic resurgence and the technology revolution are both underpinning the job market for graduates despite a slight rise in Hong Kong's unemployment rate last year. The median basic salary rose 10% to HK$11,000 in 2000. Of the graduates surveyed, 71.6% got more than one offer (up from 66% in 1999), 43.4% got more than two (36.8% in 1999) and 21.5% got more than three (16.8% in 1999). And by August 2000, 92.2% of graduates surveyed had received their first job offer (82.9% in 1999). The survey found that in 2000, 87.1% of the full-time employed graduates were taking up jobs requiring a bachelor's degree as the minimum qualification (83.9% in 1999), suggesting that it's a tough market for job-seekers without tertiary qualifications. "Our graduates are highly sought after in the IT industry, where the demand for computer programmers, software engineers and

system administrators is strong, with salaries going up by 16 says Dr Isaac Tam, Senior Student Counselor of the Student Affairs Office. It was the seventh annual graduate survey, and covered 1,828 full-time bachelor's degree graduates from 26 programs and achieved a response rate of 98%, or 1,792.

Send your answers to genesis@ust.hk. The answers will be announced in the next issue of Genesis. The Most of HKUST A family affair A large gathering of members of the University family got together on the evening of 25 May at a Farewell Party for Prof Chia-Wei and Mrs Woo. Prof Peter Dobson, Associate Vice-President for Academic Affairs and Genesis "On the Light Side" columnist, shares his personal impressions of an evening filled with warm and heartfelt expressions of appreciation for the University's founding President and his wife Yvonne. When I joined HKUST 12 years ago, I hardly expected to be around for such an occasion. However, when Chia-Wei announced he would be leaving, I began to think of what I might do if offered the chance, and for most of the last year have been assembling bits and pieces of a presentation with a musical theme. It was a surprise to me when I found that almost the entire program featured musical presentations. An early highlight was the first public presentation of a University anthem written by Prof Pang-Hsin Ting (Dean of Humanities and Social Science). I was told it was hard to sing (the assembled choir did OK with it, though) and it was in Putonghua, so I understood only that there were frequent references to a body of water somewhat farther from campus than Kowloon Bay but more felicitously named (in both English and Chinese). Another original song, "Standing on the Shoulders of Giants," was also introduced, an occasion only slightly marred by the singing of its authors Mike Hudson and Andrew Novak-Solinski (Estates Management Office). A family affair My own offering was a multimedia presentation built around selections of popular music, intended to provide an accompaniment to the events of the past 10-plus years. It ended with an image of Chia-Wei, his hands raised in triumph, and the theme from the film Rocky playing in the background. He looked pretty good, especially with his head on the body of a much younger Sylvester Stallone. (If you thought his regular swimming was responsible for those muscles, think again.) The University Women's Group made sure that Yvonne Woo's contribution was not overlooked, and presented the President with an apron emblazoned with a series of instructions guaranteed to make a perfect husband out of any man clever (or henpecked) enough to follow them. Chia-Wei, donning the apron, and noting that the writing was more easily visible to the audience than to him, suggested that the real purpose of the gift was to communicate these thoughts to the spouses of the Women's Group. If he was correct, this gives new meaning to the term "exercise in futility." Even the media who were present Seemed mellow on this night of camaraderie. The only obvious error was in calling it a "Farewell" Party, since Chia-Wei and Yvonne will remain a part of the campus scene and for many of those present will forever remain a part of their lives. An off-campus Farewell Dinner for Prof Woo was hosted by former Members of the HKUST Planning Committee, and former and current Members of the Council and the Court on 15 June. It was attended by more than 100 business and community leaders, and representatives of the University. Yvonne Woo applaudes as Prof Woo tries the University Women's Group's apron on for size. Prof Dobson sums up 12 years of HKUST history in multimedia..5 Inauguration of open-air theater The University community has a new place for gathering and performance following the inauguration of the HKUST Amphitheater on 22 June. Taking its cue from the open-air theaters of ancient Greece and Rome, the 300-square-meter Amphitheater consists of a paved platform below stepped rows, which function as seats, set into a grass lawn slope. It enjoys breathtaking views of Port Shelter and a central location below the Academic Building, making it a convenient spot for outdoor gatherings and cultural performances. The first of these performances took place at the opening ceremony on 22 June. First up were representatives of the HKUST Choir, winners of a number of major musical awards in Hong Kong. They were followed by students of the Phillips Academy, a group of exceptionally talented high-school musicians who have performed all over the world. Students and staff who are interested in booking this venue are welcome to contact the Estates Management Office at telephone: 2358-6421.

5 十周年人物專訪 人 阮溫曼紅 科大自1991年開校至今，只有短短十年歷史，我 們都為了這所'年輕有為'的大學而感到自豪。其 責早在1988年，科大籌備委員會在努力建 大學時，第一批教職員已經投入服務。這些在建校 和開校時期加入科大的'老臣子'中，有393位今 天仍在科大工作。從3月開始，《同創》每期訪問 一位長期服務員工，請他／她分享心日和感受。本 期的主角是學生事務助理處長阮溫曼紅女士。 阮溫曼紅女士〔前排左三〕在1990年ll 月5日加人科大學生事務處，過去十年與不 少學生打過交道，且聽她娓娓細訴十年來學 生的變化。 '變化可不小呢！以往，他們問的是： 洗衣機怎么經常壞？宿舍怎麼沒有窗簾？廁 所怎糜沒廁紙？而今天，我們談的是年輕人 的社會責任、搞活動的困難等等。以前遇上 問題，他們會怪責我們做得不好；今天，他 們會嘗試自己解決疑難。' 阮女士看著學生不斷成長，逐漸凝聚出 科大的文化。 '科大同學的選舉文化很熱烈，1999 年學生會甚至有兩個閣出來競選，大專界 多年來已很少見。科大同 學也注重創新，敢於向非 傳統的體育活動發展，例 如手球、射箭、木球等， 甚至發起舉辦大專界邀請 賽。學生們都很積極主辦 及參予國際交流活動，好 傢國際經濟商學學生協 會、橋牌比賽等。' 她又表示：十年來最 難忘的，是98／99年度部分 學生宿舍由雙人房妀作三 人房，學生們反應强烈，學生事務處人員 需不斷與學生溝通和協商，後來有學生反 映：多了同室同學，讓他多了機會與人交 流，友誼就給'逼'出來！ 十年校園生活，她遇過有爭議的事情 還眞不少。曾經有學生以一條全黑布條寫 上白字作宣傳；又有一次，學生報以全裸 女性背{????}@封面，都惹來不少意見及討 論。 '有些同學認為：將來到社會工 作，未必有機會這度"出位"，大學校 園是一個鼓勵自由發揮創意的地方，為 什麼不好好善用這些機會呢？'她盡量 從學生的角度看事情。 當年與她爭拗的學生結婚了，竟 都跑來給她遞上喜帖。十年生涯，有苦 有樂；回想起來，跟學生們的友誼，該 是她最大的收穫吧！ 7/8月慶祝活動 July/August Celebrations 5.7-7 7 2001 6.7.2001 9：00am 國際電訊學會第六{????}{????}荌牁|議 地點：夏利萊博士及夫人演講廳 闢幕典禮Opening Ceremany 地點：夏利萊博士及夫人演講廳 6 7-12 7.2001 13.7-19.7.2001 20.7 -22.7.2001 31.7-2.8.2001 待定 科大十年巡迥展覽10th Anniversary Roving Exhibitions 地點：科大吳家瑋學術廊 Venue：Chia-Wei Woo Academic Concourse, HKUST 地 ：科大香港賽馬大堂 Wnue：HKJC Atrium HKUST 地 ：鑽石山荷裏活廣場三樓方型梯間第一展區 Venue： Square Atrium Level III Plaza Hollywood Diamond HiII 地 ：銅鑼灣時代廣場地面展覽廳 venue： Covered Piazza Times Square Causeway Bay 地點：青在城三樓好望角展區 venue： L3 The Cape of Good Hope Maritime Square Tsing Yi 香港科技大學十周年校慶亞洲大專劍擊錦標賽 HKUST: 10th Anniversary Asian Collegiale Fencing Championships 地點：何善衡體育館Venue： S H Ho Sparts Hall 14.7-15.7.2001 16.7-18.7.2001 29.7-3.8-2001 6.8.2001 '塑造故鄉：中國移民與鄉土社會 研討會 Conference on'Emigrant Communities and Diaspora： Chinese Ethnich Sojoumers and Their Hometown connection/Disconnection 地點：7332室Venue：Roam 7332 ［ 中國神經科學學會第四屆學術會 1 The Chinese Society for Neuroscience The Fourth Biennial Meeting［地點：待定 venue ：be confirmed ； 史丹福大學物理系及應用物理系Theodore and Francis Geballe教授、 1997 諾貝爾物理奬得主朱棣文教授傑出學者講座： Biology at the Single-Molecule Level by Professor Steven Chu Theodore and Francis Geballe Professor of Physics and Appliced Physics, Stanford University, Nobel laureate in Physics 1997 同創二OO一年七月四日
