minis附e appointme的 recently

were announced in the School of Engineering.

Prof. Ping K. Ko, currently a visiting professor

in the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, has been appointed Dean of En-gineering, effective May 1.

Dr. Neil Mickleborough, associate profe心 sor of civil and structural engineering, has been appointed Associate Dean of

Engineer-ing, and Prof. Ping Cheng from the University

of Hawaii at Manoa has become Head of the Depa付mentof Mechanical Engineering.

Prof. Simon Wong has assumed the du

-ties of Acting Head, Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, to allow the founding head, Prof. Pete『 Cheung, to concentrate on

re-search activities.

Prof. Ko, who received his PhD from the Univer-sity of California at Berkeley and went on to become professo『 and vice chairman of its Depa吋ment of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, is no stranger to Hong Kong. He earned a BS in physics from the University of Hong Kong and has served as chai 「manof the Research Grants Council and as a member of the University Grants Committee. His plans for the School of Engineering reflect a broad

vision of its role in teaching and 「esearch,as well as inwo『kingwith local industry.

One goal, he says, is to give engineering

stu-dents an education providing skills that society

ex-pects of engineers.

“

The program shot』 Id provide

practical engineering training for the students, includ-ing language and communication skills."

Common sense and a knowledge of fundamen-tals also are critical to success in engineering and

other professions, he adds.

“

The old tradition is

skill-based training without telling the students the under-lying reasons why the technology .developed. But the real world

graduates and progress in research will wo『khand in hand with technology transfer in promoting Hong

Kong

’

s development.

“

UST should invent and imple

-ment a model for technology transfer unique to the

local environment. Our ability to carry that further will be what diffe『entiatesus from other institutions.

“

This University is destined to succeed. We have the 『ightpeople and resources, and it is now quite unlikely for external forces to impede or stop us from

success. But we can do it ourselves’”he warns. Over the next few months, he plans for the faculty to meet to discuss the school's curricula, research focuses and resou 『ceavailability. Then they can look to the future, addressing those issues and learning

from each other

’

s experiences. "We will so付 and disseminate our knowledge and plan progress in research, teaching and technology transfer.’,

In setting forth his goals, Prof. Ko has clearly set

his sights on the School of Enginee『ing’sachieving

world-class status in record time.“The Chinese have a saying: You have to prepare yourself, your family

esse 「1tial pa吋 of its 『nissio 『l by setting forth the Unive『sity's Policy on Sext」 al Ha『ass me『1t. Circulated to departments i n January, the policy outlines the nature of sext』al harassment, steps that can be taken to arrive at an informal resolution and the procedures the Unive『sitywill follow when a formal complaint is filed.

Chaired by PVC-AB Ian Macpherson, the Gender Discrimi

-nation Committee was established in September 1993 with a

threefold purpose: to raise awareness of gender discrimination and how to prevent it, to prepare educational materials for the campus community and to devise procedures for dealing with actual cases of discrimination.

Sexual harassment, while not the only kind of gender discrimination, is a pa吋icularly ugly and potentially explosive form of it

;

hence the need within the University to treat sexually harassing situations with utmost sensitivity, care and discretion. Commonly defined as

“offensive, unsolicited and unwel

-come conduct of a sexual nature that another person finds objectionable ，＇’ sext』al harassment isn

’

t only about the un-wanted expression of physical attraction or emotional need. It also involves power ove『 individuals in a working or learning environment, and how that power is exercised. It is important to realize, too, that both men and women can be offenders, as well as victims.

p。liticiansDiscuss Educati。n p。licies

Legco member the Hon. Henry Tang and Mr. Ip Kin Yuen will speak on

“Education Policies of the Democratic and Liberal

Pa忱地S’，

in Lecture Theatre D from 5 to 6:30 p.m. on Thursday 2 March.

Representatives f『omthe Liberal, Democratic and DAB pa付ieswere

invited to speak at the lecture, sponso『edby the SU, SOSC and OPA;

the DAB representative was not able to attend.

Individuals who find themselves in a sexually harassing

situation are advised to speak to someone about it. Students can

talk to a student counselor, a hall warden or a faculty member.

University employees can report the sexual harassment to a

supervisor or any other authority with whom they feel comfort-able.

The aim at this stage is to determine whether the situation

can be resolved informally and to try to do so by counseling the

offender. If informal means fail to resolve the situation, or if the

individual expe「iencingsexual harassment believes that only a

formal complaint will bring reli訓， he or she can meet with the

Universi旬，sGender Equity Officer (GEO) to pursue the matter.

When a complaint has been filed with the GEO (currently Ms. Pandora Yuen, SAO), the procedures the University will

follow from that point on are set out in detail in the policy

statement. Above all, the procedures that have been adopted seek to ensure that

“

all cases are taken seriously, and are dealt

with in a manner which is speedy, sympathetic to all pa付iesand

confidential.’,

Copies of the policy on sexual harassment are available from office managers and department heads. The next task of

the Gender Discrimination Committee is to produce educational

materials for supervisory personnel and other members of the

campus community. A pamphlet on sexual harassment is in preparation, along with video and other training mate『ials.

The buildings have 22 four-bedroom and 44 three-bedroom units. He also said it is a milestone for tertiary institu-tions.

“

It is the first 『esidentialproject to be

s tough. Find-ing the right resources, net-working with the right people

and being in the right place at the right time are confusing

and frustrating.

So the Careers Centre,

pa吋 ofthe Student Counsel

-ling Service, organized the

Pathfinders New Year Lunch

-eon, providing a venue for students to meet alumni, make job

connections and improve their job-search skills. Meeting with employed alumni gives students a resource for information about the job market and their job search experiences, said organizer Mr. Brian Cheng.

“

Students also can learn how companies perceive the University and the students,'’he said.

The Pathfinders is a series of job search training programs

that encompasses a number of events, including the New Year

Luncheon, Round-Table Discussions, Job Application Consul-tation Sessions and Residential Job

Search Camp. The activities are open

to all students. The first annual lunch -eon was held in late January.

Mr. Laurie Kan, managing director of Microsoft Hong Kong Limited, was

guest speaker at the luncheon. His

career advice, applicable to all people

in any ca向前， wassummed up like this:

“

Work hard, work very ha「dand work insanely hard.’,

Encouraging students to get com司

petitive job offers should be one of the priorities of eve『yfaculty

and staff member in the University, Mr. Cheng said.

“

The

students are the fruit of our faculty's and University

’

s hard labor. If our students secure good jobs, they will contribute to the future development of the university.”

Some students remain passive in the job search, though,

and the Careers Centre is looking for ways to reach these

students, he said. One way is in-class presentations;another is

to work with faculty encouraging students to pa吋icipate in the Careers Education activities organized by the Careers Centre.

Faculty can also help prepare students by prompting them to get

an early sta付 inthinking about their careers and by suppo仕ing

them in their job search, Mr. Cheng said. E-mail, he added, is a good way to maintain constant contact with eager students and those who need the extra prodding.

Prof. Joe Mize, acting dean of the School of Engineering,

said

,”

The University has an obligation to both our students and the industries we serve to help in forming a linkage. Pathfinders seems to be a very good way of achieving that.. .. The facul句， by

or the last two years, the Social Club, with the help of Dr. Kimberly Chang (SOSC), has organized Tai Ji classes for the University community. These classes have been taught by Master Sin Man-Ho, a long”time practitioner and teacher of the Chinese martial a吋sin Hong Kong.

This spring semester, Master Sin will be back on campus to

o行er a new course entitled

“

Vital Exercises for Health and

Longevity.

”

This five-week course will introduce students of all

ages to simple and easy-to-learn exercises for better health and longer life. These exercises promote health by massaging inter司

nal organs and increasing the ci 「culation of qi (vital energy) throughout the body.

Based on years of experience, Master Sin has extracted the

essence of these exercises from a long history of many different

schools of Chinese martial and healing a吋s.The exercises are

especially suitable fo『 peoplewith busy, stressful lifestyles. They

can be practiced any time, any place (even in bed!) and require

only persistence to realize their healthful benefits.

Details of the class are as follows. Please note that this

course will be offered twice during the spring semester:

盟

糊視委員會最近完成了項重要工作確立了性騷擾的

大學政策。新政策內容已分發各部門，它困苦述了關於性騷擾的性質、處理性騷擾投訴所應採取的步聽、及大學接到正式投訴時如何處理的程序等。由麥法誠副校長（行政及總務）領導的性別歧視委員會，於一九九三年九月成立。它負有三重任務提高性別歧視的意識及如何預防它﹔準備有關的教育資料供校內人士參考，設計處理實際個案時所採取的步驟。性騷擾不僅是一種性別歧視 t 更是極其令人討厭和有潛在危機的不幸事件。因此在大學內，需要極其敏感、小心、謹慎地處理此類問題。性騷擾的一般定義為 “令對方不愉快的、無禮的、未經允許的、不受歡迎的和性有關的舉動。’，性騷擾也涉及到工作或學習環境中每個人的權力及如何應用這種權力的問題。值得注意的是，無論男女都可能被侵犯，成為性騷擾的受害者。

如果發現自己受到性騷擾！應找人傾訴。學生可找學生輔導員、舍監、或老師，大學僱員則可向上司或其他你所信任的管理層人員報告。在現階段的目標是嘗試勸告冒犯者，決定問題是否可以私下解決。如果這種非正式的方法不能解決問題，或者被性騷擾者認為只有正式的投訴才感到寬慰，事主可以聯絡大學性平等委員會助理（GEO） ·以尋求問題得到解決。當向 GEO （目前由學生事務處的阮溫曼紅女士擔任）提出投訴後，大學將要採取的步聽（詳細內容已載於新政策內）首先是要保證。 “認真地對待每一件投訴，以快速、保密、及富有同情心的方式解決問題。’，有關性騷擾政策的複印本可向部門經理或系主任袁取。性別歧視委員會下步工作是要準備有關性騷擾的教育性資料，以供管理人員及其他校內人士參考。目前正在製作有關的手冊、錄像帶、和其他教育性資料。
