Most of us are working adults, it’s really challenging in balancing both work and study at the same time. Indeed, it’s exhausting but we never stop to learn. Though we are from different backgrounds, we share the same belief that knowledge is power, knowledge will change the world.    The course is well-structured and comprehensive for those with or without engineering backgrounds. It equipped us with the theory of developing fire engineering solution through scientific research methodology and modern computational tools.

The postgraduate programme enlightens us another kind of learning technique. We practice with the range of solution methods with numerous knowledges in the class, we shall analysis the conditions and making decisions to create the path for ourselves during the postgraduate learning, especially dissertation research. With the rapid development of the society, fire safety engineering is a great necessary and development in Hong Kong, the programme is continuing improvement with new safety regulations and techniques.

This programme focuses on the fire science as well as influence of fire upon human in built environment. I found that this programme is very practical since fire was studied in different extent theoretically and experimentally. We not only learnt the knowledge from papers, but also were able to visualize fire size and flame height. Furthermore, we had a chance to test the sprinkler performance to check the water distribution during water discharge.
