The Faculty of Engineering was founded in 1991 and was built upon existing strength with added talents from all over the world. The Faculty has been able to attract some of the best minds to the Faculty. Many received their training in leading universities in North America, Great Britain and Australia. Most of them have extensive experience in industry and many are leaders in their fields. This team of top-notch talents is gathered together to nurture local talents through educational programmes, and break new frontier in research through innovative and exciting research endeavours.

The POSITIONING of The Shun Hing Institute of Advanced Engineering in William M.W. Mong Engineering Building is deliberate as a key nucleating point to integrate research endeavours in the Engineering Faculty and its neighboring Faculties. Many members of the Science and Medical Faculties are comrades of this Faculty in many interesting research collaborations. It is the ambitious goal of the Faculty of Engineering that the Institute should become a light house for the local technology landscape and will show the directions to push forward the migration towards high value-added technology and information economy.
