The Shun Hing Institute of Advanced Engineering is a strategic initiative of the Chinese University of Hong Kong dedicated to excellence and innovation in the research and development of advanced engineering areas relevant to Hong Kong and the region. It is established through the generous funding support of the Shun Hing Education and Charity Fund, a splendid example of crossover partnership of the private sector in state-of-the-art research at a tertiary institution. It is the first and excellent of its kind.

The Shun Hing Education and Charity Fund is a dedication of Dr. William Mong Man Wai and Mr. David Mong in enhancing education opportunity for the younger generation. The Fund has already sponsored numerous education and research programmes in Hong Kong, the Mainland, and overseas education institutions. Himself an engineer and believing in advancing quality of life through developments of science and technology, Dr. Mong pledges his support to the establishment of this Institute almost instantaneously.
