The Faculty offered a scholarship to Carol Pun, a Year 1 student of Systems Engineering and Engineering Management, to join a two-week expedition to the South Pole to witness the effects of climate change on the fragile ecosystem. Last year, Carol teamed up with another CUHK student and two other university students to take part in the ‘Get it Green' competition which was jointly organized by the Environmental Campaign Committee and Civic Exchange. Demonstrating strong creativity and passion for environmental protection, their team won the gold prize and the People's Award, and she was given a valuable opportunity to embark on an expedition to Antarctica from 3 to 18 March 2011. Believing that engineering is about the optimization of resource, Carol wishes to link up engineering and environmental protection and, upon return, owes to make environmental protection a part of her future career.
