AIChE at HKUST
Bridging Engineering Professions with Students
"Nothing is a matter of waste if you use the materials wisely."
Turn ChemEng into a Noble Profession in Hong Kong!
Fall Recruitment - 2018
In the beginning of the semester, AIChE was actively involved in promoting the organization. AIChE members targeted wide range of students, from undergraduates to PhD students, in order to create wider awareness on the purpose of AIChE and for our members to get an exposure to different fields of chemical engineering. This led to a successful recruitment. We had over 50 members join AIChE.
