What's On

Students LEUNG Ho Him, CHANG Chung Yin, LAU Kwan Ting, and CHER Chin Cheung from the Higher Diploma in Software Engineering at the Hong Kong Institute of Information Technology (HKIIT) at IVE (Tuen Mun) formed the "Intelligent Power Distribution System" team. They participated in the 7th Greater Bay Area STEAM Excellence Awards 2025 (Hong Kong), organised by the Hong Kong New Emerging Technology Education Association (HKNETEA), and won a Merit Award in the Tertiary/University category.

The URA x IVE Innovation Design Competition was jointly organized by the Urban Renewal Authority (URA) and IVE Engineering. This year's competition attracted over 100 student participants. Students from Higher Diploma in Building Services Engineering and Higher Diploma in Computer and Electronic Engineering teamed up, and their project "Digital Triplet" won the Silver Award and the Smartest Design Award. This project monitors elderly residents' home air quality and enables remote control of household appliances. Family members can monitor air conditioning in real time and receive proactive alerts for unattended stovetops, elevated indoor temperatures, gas leakages, etc.

HK Electric held the "Green Energy Dreams Come True Competition 2024/25" to promote decarbonization, energy efficiency and conservation, and renewable energy. A team of three Higher Diploma in Building Services Engineering students from IVE (Tuen Mun) designed a "Sustainable Energy-saving Water Curtain Wall" model and was awarded First Runner-up in the tertiary group. This innovative building solution integrates hydroelectric and solar power systems into a water curtain wall system. By naturally cooling the building façade, it reduces reliance on air conditioning and enhances overall energy efficiency.

The alumni tea gathering brought together graduates across generations and disciplines for a heartfelt homecoming at IVE (Kwun Tong). The event was honored by the presence of Mr. C Kwan and fellow members of our alumni family, who enjoyed meaningful reunions while previewing our new E-commerce Learning Centre, designed for hands-on training. Through guided tours, alumni discovered exciting campus upgrades and relived cherished memories. 

The Student Awards Presentation Ceremony was successfully held to recognize the achievements of the students. The ceremony also provided a valuable opportunity for the awardees to express their most sincere gratitude to the donors in person. Donations amounting to over 1.96 million have been received this year and there were more than 190 awardees for their outstanding performance in academic and non-academic areas. The award was definitely a meaningful encouragement to the awardees and inspires them to excel in their studies.

Five students from the Higher Diploma in Mechanical Engineering at IVE, CHAN Kin-san, MOK Ho-sing, CHUI Tsz-ho, WONG Siu-him, and CHONG Ming-wai formed a team to participate in the Student Design Competition organised by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Hong Kong Section, and successfully won the championship. The competition required teams to design and build a remote-controlled vehicle that could collect solar and wind energy to complete a simulated transportation task. The IVE team outperformed others with their vehicle's excellent load capacity. This competition not only provided a platform for technical exchange but also allowed students to gain a deeper understanding of the practical applications of renewable energy, while showcasing the potential for innovative design in the development of future transportation.
