2 ENGINEERING PolyU IC is a Technical Library equipped with a complete collection of engineering facilities, equipment and technologies for staff and students to realize their research and project activities. It is the only establishment of its kind among the local 8 UGC-funded universities. We don t just possess a collection of engineering facilities and equipment but also a pool of expertise in different engineering disciplines. Many students have made the best use of our facilities and expertise to pursue and realize their engineering innovations, research or even business ideas. Likewise you will also find academics and researchers making use of IC s facilities and expertise in pursuing and realizing their R&D projects and scholarly activities. We don t just offer technical help but also valuable advice or even networking. IC has supported and realized many successful research projects, including Sampling and Packing System (SSPS) for Chang e-5 Lunar Probe, Camera Pointing System (CPS) for Chang e-3 Lunar Probe and Soil Preparation System (SOPSYS) for Phobos-Grunt Mission in collaboration with PolyU ISE, Novel Brain Training Device for Stroke Patient in collaboration with PolyU BME, 3D Printed Surgical Guides in collaboration with local medical schools and hospitals. IC also extended its engineering support to the industry and the community. Some of the examples include Air Traffic Control Console Improvement Study in collaboration with HKSAR Civil Aviation Novel Brain Training Device for Stroke Patient SOPSYS for Phobos-Grunt Mission Department (CAD), Acid Deposition Monitoring Network in collaboration with HKSAR Environmental Protection Department (EPD), Mobile Detrainment Ladder for MTR and Novel Multiple-axis Machining of Turbine Blades in collaboration with Hong Kong Aero Engine Services Limited (HAESL). 2
