Overview

Systems Engineering and Engineering Management is a non-traditional engineering program, emphasizing an integration of engineering and management. Established in 1991 as the first of its kind in tertiary educational institutions in Hong Kong, the department carries a mission to create and disseminate knowledge and technologies fundamental for the globalized economy -- to derive and develop intelligence from information, to design and engineer systems, and to analyze and optimize financial and operational decisions.

The SEEM philosophy is to offer its students a well-rounded education so that they acquire both in-depth mastery of cutting-edge technical skills and a broad perspective on systems and management principles. Our undergraduate program that leads to Bachelor of Engineering in Systems Engineering and Engineering Management is currently organized around four focal areas: Logistics and Supply Chain Management; Financial Engineering; Information Systems; and E-Commerce Systems. At the graduate level, the department offers research-based programs leading to Master of Philosophy (M.Phil.), and Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.). The department also offers course-based programs leading to the degree of Master of Science (M.Sc) and it launched last year in Shenzhen an Executive Master of Science Program in Logistics and Supply Chain Management.

Finance, logistics, tourism and services for trade and industry are four pillars of Hong Kong’s economy. Being the pioneer in Hong Kong with its educational and research programs focused on these areas, our program has positioned itself well to take this great opportunity and to meet the challenge for talents in this respect. Our graduates will be competitive globally, possessing vision and entrepreneurial spirit, and equipped with the necessary knowledge and skills to be leaders in their fields. To fulfill our vision for our graduates, our program emphasizes an integration of technology and management. This unique combination of in-depth skills, broad perspective and flexibility is much sought after in the job market. Training in systems engineering enables employability in various functional divisions and in all industries and government agencies, exposure to both technical and non-technical aspects of complicated systems and interdisciplinary problems, and career paths close to senior management.

The department is equipped with state-of-the-art teaching and research facilities that include

1. The Enterprise Resource Planning Laboratory
2. The E-Services Laboratory
3. The Financial Engineering Laboratory
4. The Human-Computer Communication Laboratory
5. The Information Systems Laboratory
6. The Knowledge Engineering Laboratory
7. The Operations Research and Management Laboratory

The computing environment includes a network of more than 50 workstations and more than 200 PCs, including Alpha 8000 series and Ultra Enterprise Servers.
