Work-integrated Learning Opportunities / Industry Network

BSE2

Ir Ringo LEUNG
Project Director (E&M), SHKP (Construction Department)

"THEi’s BSE graduates are equipped with essential BIM knowledge and technique. Since the Hong Kong Government stipulated that capital works projects with project estimates more than $30 million shall use BIM technology in 2018, BIM professionals have been in desperate need among the BSE industry. 

I appreciate that THEi’s BSE offers two independent BIM modules and provides various BIM training for the students to get prepared to suit this latest trend of construction. THEi nurtures BIM practitioners for the industry timely!”

“During my internship in the Engineering Department of a hotel, I could get a taste of all the building services equipment. I also interned in another company where I was responsible for dealing with a building under construction and updating its drawings. Those are valuable experience to me.

THEi has close connections with the BSE companies, and it helps to expand my professional network in the industry!”
