The Faculty of Engineering showcased five students and professors innovations at the 47th Joint School Science Exhibition from 22 to 27 August in the exhibition gallery of the Hong Kong Public Library.

With the theme of “Household redesigned, Science redefined”, the event provided a platform for sharing innovative ideas from young people who use their knowledge of science to envision a bold world that promises better quality of life. The selected five projects that could have made a strong impact in everyday life include AI model car, lip language recognition (Best Project Award of Undergraduate Summer Research Internship), AuthPaper which tackle forgery (Professor Charles K. Kao Student Creativity Award 2013), automatic transporter (Champion in the third Greater China Design Competiton), and 'Lab-on-a-disc (LOAD) Platform – Bioassay Automation' which is able to simplify complex DNA assay and allergen testing procedures to one single step, and results will be available within an hour on-site.
