Students were shown how to use advanced apparatus and instruments. They were also given ample opportunities to speak to postgraduates to gain insight into physics as a career. The camp provided a briefing session by a faculty member and a postgraduate from the Department of Physics. The students wer巴 givena preview of life at a universit}r as well as a pep talk on the basic requirements of enr ling into universities.Something different was 。在eredby the Association of East Asian Research Universities (AEARU). Two student summer camps were held-one at Tsing Hua University in Taiwan in early July and one at UST at the end of July. AEARU, founded only two years ago, is composed of 16 top research universities in East Asia. The associations
’
s main purpose is to promote regional collaboration through academic activities and student exchange programs.The activities of the seven-day camp in Tai-wan were wide-ranging. Academic programs in° eluded discussions on the achievements and problems faced by East Asian science and tech-nology as society moves into the 21" century. An-other subject was green engineering, which strives for the protection and reconstruc-tion of the environment.
Making Progress at Summer Camp
W… making 叫sinwhat was once a bastion of ma! e
supremacy: engineering. A record 42% of this year's engineering s um-mer campers were female sixth-forum-mers. Dr Helen Shen, associate dean of the School of Engineering said:“I think our efforts to encourage female students to consider engineering are paying off. Through the examples provided by women engi-neers, campers will see that engmeermg 1s not necessar -ily male-dominated."
The point was driven home at a special banquet for the women hosted by Dr Pascale Fung (Electrical and Electronic Engineer-ing). She spoke at length on the entrepreneurial role played by women engineers in business. Her reassur-ance was timely for some young women who face much social pressure against their taking up engineering as a career.
Ms Wong Man Fu呵，時， said that she was told by a high school teacher that engineering is not
“a
suit-able job for women because, all being equal, employers prefer men.’,Another stu dent, Teri Chung, 17, takes it in stride. She said:“Iwanted to find out more about engineering because I want to be an architect some day and knowledge of engineering is useful. I am not worried about sex discrimination.’,
One of the first summer camps to be set up, the engineering camp has grown in popularity since 1995. This year, more than
150 top students from Form 6 took part. They were all honor students recommended by school principals. The camp aims to introduce various engineering disciplines and career prospects to local secondary school students, who are shown how engi-neering plays its role in real life. They are also given the opportunity to come into contact with engineering faculty members, professional engineers and undergraduates.
A special feature this year was the involvement of the UST Center for the Arts and the Hongkong Arts Development Council. Dr Shen said: "In the camp, we wish to show
[
how] engineeringmethod-ology and techniques can also be applied to music, art works and movie苟making.”
The camp featured a design competition where student groups vied with one an-other to show their ability to merge their artistic talents with technical
Students were asked to build a Tower of Pisa made with uncooked spaghetti, glue, straws and rubber bands. The winning design was judged on th附 criteria:maximum height, creativity in applying technical knowledge and aesthetic value.
Yet another UST summer activity which has proved very popular with secondary students is this year
’
s Physics Camp. About 240 participants-all Form 6 stude nts-took part. Dr Tam Wing Yim said:“This year we have more students coming from more schools. We want students to relax and get to know UST more. It doesn't matter if they choose physics or not. What is important is for students to cultivate their interest in science:'B『idgingthe Gap ...” ... . 2

Bridging the Gap
Funds toforging closer links betwe巴nuniversities and schools have been approved by the Univer’sity Grants Committee (UGC)
and the gov巴rnment'sQualit
}
r Education Fund (QEF). One project hopes to provide schoolteachers with help as well as a new perspec-tive towards a subject being introduced for the first time to the secondary curriculum-Hong Kong history. The other two projects aim to strengthen cooperation between tertiary and primary and secondary school sectors in the teaching of science.
Providing assistance to history teachers is the brainchild of three faculty members in UST’s
Division of Humanities: Drs Choi
In the workshops, emphasis will be placed on developing teach-ing materials and the curricula. New teaching software relevant to Hong Kong這 AdvancedLevel syllabuses will also be introduced. The plan is to publicize and share innovations in teaching and to strengthen the link between Form 6 and university curricula.
The training courses will introduce students to topics such as biotechnolog弘 environmentalscience, materials science, frontiers in astronomy, scientific computation and financial mathematics. Some of the training courses will feature recent developments in information technology, such as the Student Response System developed by UST
’
s Physics Departmer哎， whichenables teach-Chi-Cheung, Siu －耳voo Cheungand Tik-sang Liu, who specialize in social history and cultural anthropology.
Dr Choi said:“In the early stages of teaching the subject, secondary school teachers will face the urgency of acquiring teaching materials, mastering
teaching methodology and
designing teaching plans. This project will help them. We also seek to foster teachers

ers to instantaneously receive and tabulate student response in the classroom. Students are each given a signal sender similar to a televi-sion remote control through which their responses can be monitored.
Through the Open Laboratory, teachers will have access to equip-ment at UST, enabling them to better prepare their students in experimental science subjects. As to forefront ideas, theories,
research methodologies and source materials related to Hong Ko呵＇shist。可，
The project, which has been given a grant of more than HK$1 million, stresses the importance of fieldwork. It promotes what its organizers describe as the collection of folk documents, the oral history methodology and an anthropological participant-observation approach as among the most effective means of studying history. Dr Liu said;“One cannot understand history without referring to cultu閃 andsociety." Dr Cheu 可 added：“By organizing talks, workshops, discussions and fieldwork, we seek to foster schoolteachers
’
sensitivity to local culture and society in their teaching of Ho月 Kong’s h叫ory."In addition, the project hopes to channel resources more effectively to teachers by establishing an institutional base at UST's South China Research Center, which will act as a nodal center for connecting scholars and various public and academic institutions in related fields. The project includes organizing a workshop, a series of talks and field trips;maintaining a World Wide Web home page; and publishing a source book within two years. The source book will be compiled from information and views gathered in the course of the project.
The other two projects, which have been awarded HK$1.5 million by the UGC and HK$3 million by the QEF, aim to strengthen links between tertiary and primary and secondary school sectors in science su均ectssuch as biology, chemistry, physics and mathematics. The School of Science will organize workshops and training courses, host open laboratories and develop a web site for course materials and interchange of ideas.
Prof Shi肘，叭1en Cher嗯， associatedean of science, said:“We hope to start a dialogue with science teachers. At present, there is not enough of a dialogue.”Earlier he wrote in his project proposal:
“
Improved interface and linkage between tertiary and school sectors will help the development of the new school science curricula for the 21 '' century and will also greatly enhance efforts to introduce inforrSC

for the web site, it will serve as a forum for the exchange of ideas and as a depository of course materials submitted by the teachers. The third project goes a step further by providing training for teachers and student enrichment programs. Prof Cheng said, "What is special about this project is that it provides for frontline teachers and researchers in the university sector to play a leading role in the enhancement of teaching and learning in science subjects in the school sector

Training classes will be provided for secondary teach-ers in each science su切ect.A two-week intensive course for Form 5 students, which aims at nurturing the best and brightest to be the leading scientists and engineers of tomorrow, will be held in the summer.

I had a chance to see how a television news feature i s
;Q"'':•'"'
produced by working for CBS as a translator/interpreterin Hong Kong.
In late June and early July, hundreds of sta在 membersfrom five US television networks had been assigned to follow every detail of Mr Clinton's visit-not only reporters and cameramen, but also huge technical crews behind every camera.
Mr Clinton arrived in Hong Kong about 8:30 pm on 2 ﹞ul弘 and flew out at 8 pm on the following day;The brevity of his stay hardly reflected the amount of advance work put in by the media.
The advance party of CBS's technical crew, including the pro-ducer and engineers, had arrived in Hong Kong almost a week beforehand. More technical staff and tons of gear arrived in the following three or four days. More than two whole days were spent setting up all the gear in the press room at the Grand Hyatt Hotel.
The equipment there was stacked up higher than a person法 height on six long tables, and many tests were run to ensure its normal functioning and efficient operation. Most in1portantly, the engineers had to make sure the television signals could be fed back by satellite to the US.
In all 出atequipment, the natural focuses of attention were seven or eight television monitors displaying images from different sources. On 3 July, we in the press room were able to watch simulta-neous images of Bill and Hillary Clinton attending different functions throughout the day, together with playbacks of video recordings made the previous day of Air Force One's landing at Chek Lap Kok, the late banquet at Government House, and so on.
Despite all the preparation, we could never be sure that every-thing would happen as originally planned and according to schedule. There were many sudden changes due to circumstance and quick on-site decisions, as well as 出econstant possibility that something unpredicted could happen. Anyone working for the media has to be ready for abrupt change and huge stress, a CBS crewmember told me.
