Island South campus transformed into an Innovation Hub
HKU SPACE is committed to innovative teaching and learning and has been investing in e-learning to enhance students' learning experiences. In this regard, the School transformed its Island South Pokfulam campus into a technology hub" TechnoSPACE" to support disciplines such as aviation, e-sports, geotechnical engineering, and biomedical science.
For the School’s Biomedical Science programmes there is a state-of-the-art Biomedical Science Laboratory covering clinical chemistry, haematology and serology, histopathology and cytology, and medical microbiology. The laboratory is also equipped with an interactive digital whiteboard that allows students to enhance their interaction with the instructor and provides an ideal classroom for professional education in biomedical sciences from introductory to master's degree levels. The School named the laboratory after Ms Ginny Man's generous support of biomedical science education
In addition, special classrooms for aviation studies offer authentic training in flight operations and include an Aircraft Mock-up Cabin & Flight Simulator Lab. This allows students to experience flight operations in a professional and realistic manner. The facility also includes an Airbus 320 door trainer for students to practice emergency escape procedures and an Aircraft Maintenance Laboratory featuring a Cessna C152 - a small, single-engined, propellor driven commercial aircraft – that provides students with practical aircraft maintenance experiences.
The eSports Mock-up Stadium was established to complement the School’s eSports programmes and is equipped with ten desktop gaming computers that allow teachers and students to set the Stadium up in different ways. The students can also use a high-resolution LED wall and a desktop computer with a dual monitor to compose and live-stream footage from gaming computers. Students in the various eSport programmes gain insights and technical expertise in different aspects of eSports ranging from producing eSport competitions to event coordination and management.
Apart from the facilities mentioned above, there are also a Cave Laboratory, a VR Laboratory, and a Geotechnical Laboratory, which provide students with different learning experiences and effectively improve the efficiency of both teaching and learning.
港島南分校打造成創新科技中心
學院致力創新,不斷投放資源於電子教學上,以提升學生的學習體驗,並將港島南薄扶林分校打造成創新科技中心「 TechnoSPACE」,以支援航空、 電子競技、土力工程、及 生物醫學等學科。
生物醫學課程配備尖端生物技術實驗室,涵蓋臨床化學、血液學和血清學、組織病理學和細胞學、醫學微生物學等四個專業教學範疇;更設置互動電子白板,讓同學加強與老師的互動交流,是提供基礎以至碩士級別課程的理想教室。學院非常感謝文頴怡小姐對生物醫學教育的慷慨支持,並將生物醫學實驗室以其名字冠名。
另外,航空學教室供真實飛行體驗,包括飛機模擬駕駛艙、飛機模擬客艙實驗室及飛機維修實驗室等,讓學生體驗專業及真實的飛行操作;A320空中巴士艙門訓練器訓練同學緊急逃生程序;並展示單引擎小型飛機Cessna C152民航機螺旋槳組件,為同學提供一系列飛機維修實踐經驗。
電競模擬場館專為配合電子競技課程發展而設。館內的十台桌上型電競電腦,設置於度身訂製的移動式電競桌上,讓師生可調整作不同用途。此外,同學可利用高解析度LED牆及設有雙顯示器的桌上型電腦,對電競的畫面進行合成和直播。學院開辦的電競課程指導學生了解與電競相關的技能與專長,包括製作電競比賽、活動統籌及管理等。
創新科技中心所設置的特別教室皆結合最先進設備,除以上的設施外,亦設置了CAVE體驗室、虛擬實境體驗室及岩土實驗室等,為同學帶來不一樣的學習體驗,有效提高學與教的效能。
