2]ANNUAL REPORT ~:$ff 95-96

T

he year 1995-96 was the fifth year since the opening of the University and the tenth year since the commence-ment of the planning of the University.

The Planning Committee for the Uni-versity was appointed in July 1986 and held its first meeting in September. It took less than two years to plan and another three years to organise, build and man the Uni-versity.

The first batch of about 800 shldents was admitted in October 1991. Since then, the student population has grown steadily but rapidly to 6,077 "full time equivalent" or 6,295 by head count in 1995-96. Within this actual number there were 1,156 post-graduates, representing 18 percent-a

relatively high figure by local standards, re -flecting the mission of the University.

Apart from teaching, the University is spending much effort in pioneering both academic research and technical services in Hong Kong. In academic research, the University despite its short history is lead-ing local tertiary institutions in competi -tion for government funding both in total amount awarded and in rate of success. This truly reflects the emphasis of the Univer-sity on research and postgraduate work.

1995 至 1996 年度，是大學成立 以後的第五個年頭;如果從它開始籌 備的日子算起，現在已是科大的第十 年了。 香港科技大學的籌備委員會是在 1986 年 7 月正式成立，並於同年9 月舉 行第一次會議。委員會以不到兩年的 時間，完成大學的規劃工作，然後再 用三年時間去籌組大學的架構、興建 校舍和羅致合適的人才擔任教職員。 第一批約 800位學生在 1991 年 10 月開始入學。從那時起，大學的學生 人數使穩步急升;到本年度，大學的 “全日制等值學生人數"已增加至 6， 077 人，實際人數為 6， 295 人，其中 研究生有 1 ， 156人， 1在全部學生人數 的 18% 。以本地的標準來說，科大的 研究生比例已算相當高，而這正是科 大的辦學宗旨。 除教學工作外，大學也不斷努力 拓展其學科T研究和技街服務。在學術 研究方面，香港科技大學雖然歷史尚 短，但在競逐政府的研究資助時，再 於總資助額及申請資助成功率等項目 上，領先本港其他院校，切切實實地 反映出大學對科研和研究生培訓工作 的重視。

CHAIRMAN'S FOREWORD tj(fliWr±mM~

In technical services, the University has continued to break new ground within Hong Kong's tertiary sector. It vyas the pio-neer in providing Internet service in this territory through its wholly owned subsidi-ary, Hong Kong Supernet, This company was sold during the year, yielding a high return of over HK$36 million.

In conclusion, I wish to take this oppor-tunity to thank all my colleagues on the Court, Council, Senate and their Commit-tees as well as all the academic and admin-istrative staff for their contributions to the University during 1995-96.

• Hong Kong Supernet, named the "best Internet provider in Asia" by Asia Internet Report, yvas

sold by the University to an international

con-sortium for over $47 million, marking the

suc-cessful completion of a full R&D cycle. • Generous support continued to flow to the

University from individual, corporate, and

foundation donors, capped by a $25 million

gift from the Shui On Group Ltd to support construction of a new R&D facility, the UST Annex. The Shui On Center for China Busi-ness and Management, to be housed in the Annex, was named in recognition of the gift. • HKUST was host to, and a willing partner in, initiatives to establish a Europe Institute on campus and an Association of East Asian Re-search Universities-both promising to strengthen the University's international

part-nerships during this time of transition.

PRESIDENT'S REPORT

W

ith the submission of this annual

report, we conclude the University's

"founding phase": our first five years.

It has been a most

satisfy-ing five years for the Universi

-ty's Council members, faculty, staff, students, and alumni.

The original plan for the

Uni-versity had called for it to open

in the fall of 1994; we

ad-vanced that by three full years. Government's expectation was that we would reach full size

at 7,000 students, and thus

steady-state funding, in no fewer than seven years; we are practically accomplishing that in five. The acceleration enabled HKUST to educate about 6,000 more graduates than anticipated and produce substantial savings for the taxpayers of Hong Kong. At the same time, we have been able to build an institution far stronger than we dared to dream.

During the past year, the University has

as-siduously maintained its application of "continu-ous assessment" in teaching, using daily home-work assignments and frequent tests to help stu-dents digest more fully what they have to learn. Similarly, credit-bearing classes were offered dur-ing the summer months to enable students to spread out their course load. Summer places also were offered to a number of college-bound sec-ondary school students to give them a headstart. It should be mentioned that the additional

work-load was taken up by our dedicated teaching staff

without any thought of extra compensation.

aca-demic contests, both local and international.

Many of our graduates have decided to seek ad-vanced degrees; those who chose to do so over-seas have found admission and financial support

隨著這份年度報告的提出 ，我 校的創技階段 ，也就是說首五年， 至此告一圓滿結束 。 ð 對於校董會各位委員，學校的 教職員、同學、及校友們來說，這 五年可說是豐富美滿 o 如果按照最 初的建校計劃，我校應於 1994 年秋 季才開學;可是，提前了足足三 年 。按照政府當時的預期，至少需 時七年才能收滿 7， 000 名學生，達到 平穩撥款階段;可是，基本上在五 年內就完成了任務。這樣超速的進 展， 讓科大比預計多培養了約 6， 000 個畢業生，並且為香港的納稅人作 出了可觀的節約。尤可告慰的是， 在這短短的五年時間祖，建立起了 一所壯健的學府，遠遠超出 了我們 的夢想。 在過去一年裡，學校在教學上 不懈地進行“連續評估藉功課作 業和經常的測驗來幫助同學加深對 課程的了解 。 在暑期中，開了一些 帶學分的班，使得同學能夠分散三 年課程，減輕負擔 ;也同時招收了 一批即將進入大學的中學高班生， 使得他們有機會提前起步。值得一 提的是，這些暑期教學任務，是由 教師們在沒有額外報酬的情形下完 成的 。

But a majority of our graduates, as is custom-ary in Hong Kong, have chosen to begin their working careers right away. They have encoun-tered little difficulty in finding jobs, and com-ments from employers reflect a high degree of satisfaction in their capabilities.

In research, our faculty has continued to lead Hong Kong's tertiary institutions in the results of peer-reviewed competition for academic research grants-that is, in total funding, number of funded projects, success rate, and funding per fac-ulty member. Their scholarly accomplishments have been lauded in leading international publi-cations, especially in technologically advanced countries like the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, and Japan.

Applied research and development lead to technology transfer-the application of R&D re-sults to the upgrading of infrastructure, industrial processes, and commercial products. It is an im-portant part of HKUST's objective: We are man-dated to provide direct service to the community and to enhance the region's economic and social development.

During the past year, with more attention in

the University being given to the direct-service aspect of technology and management, applied R&D projects mushroomed in practically all of

the interdisciplinary areas cultivated at HKUST: advanced materials, Asian financial markets, biotechnology, economic development, environ-mental studies, information technology, infra-structure development, micro systems, scientific computation, and software engineering. Successes have abounded.

To make the University more cultural means to present more cultural events on campus, and to encourage the HKUST community to participate more fully in these activities, The University already provides a rich offering of programmes: exhibits, lectures, concerts, and performances, But a certain degree of consolidation was necessary to make them more readily known to the campus community, and to the public. For this purpose, a Center for the Arts has been set up to provide both leadership and logistical support.

Clearly, it is not feasible to create a "college town" on the Clear Water Bay Peninsula, So the University must try to build on its own campus a "village" with an appealing environment and a congenial atmosphere. During the past year,

between senior and junior faculty members. Ac-tions which have been initiated include the es,

tablishment of an undergraduate advising system which will require every undergraduate to meet with an advisor outside the classroom; and the appointment of more young faculty members to university committees，的 thatthey can learn from their senior colleagues how to share the Univer-sity's governance.

To make the University more cultural m凹的

to present more cultural events on campus, and to encourage the HKUST community to participate more fully in these activities. The University already provides a rich offering of programmes: exhibits, lectur白， concerts, and performances. But a certain degree of consolidation was necessary to make them more readily known to the campus community, and to the public. For this purpose, a Center for the Arts has been set up to provide both leadership and logistical support. 多 的年青教師進入學校的各種委員 會 ， 讓他們參與學校的治理 。 為了使得校園生活史文明，大 學會舉辦更多文化活動，並且鼓勵 各界參與。事實上，我們的活動節 目已經相當豐富 ， 經常有展覽 、演 講 、音樂會 、 及表演。為了使這些 活動更能供校內外人士欣賞和享 受 ，我們需要多作一點統籌和協調 的工作，因此成立了一個“藝術中 心去更有效地策畫IJ 和安排這些活 動。

To make the University more Chinese means

to help Hong Kong regain her Chinese identity. In time, HKUST should become a bilingual university-with two written and three spoken languages in common usage (English, Cantonese, and Putonghua). During the past year, in response to the Council's suggestion, the University began to produce its official publications in both

languages wherever possible. And even though,

for the sake of practicality, the medium of instruction will remain English for a long time

to come, non-academic activities will increasingly

be conducted in Chinese, as appropriate.

To be more Chinese also means that we should

playa significant role in the gradual integration of Hong Kong's economy with that of her hin-terland. At HKUST, academic exchange with mainland institutions has expanded rapidly. Chi-nese passport holders now number close to 100 among our teaching staff, mostly recruited from academic institutions in the West. They also in-clude about 100 of our research staff, and about

160 who have joined us as postgraduate students.
