University Recognition

University Recognition to SENG Faculty

A vibrant body of educators is the backbone of HKUST, and university-wide honors have been established to acknowledge this mantra and applaud faculty members from different schools who have helped reinvent education on the whole by virtue of their exceptional teaching philosophies and methodologies. And along the history of HKUST, such prestigious honors have time and again been bestowed upon SENG faculty members from different engineering disciplines. This has attested to our teaching community’s enduring devotion to quality and inventive education.

Michael G Gale Medal for Distinguished Teaching

The Michael G Gale Medal for Distinguished Teaching at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology was established by the University Council in 1994 to commemorate the late Founding Council Member, Mr. Michael G. GALE, for his distinguished service and outstanding contributions to the development of the University.

The Medal is awarded each year at the University's Congregation to a member of the academic staff who best exemplifies continued pursuit of excellence, devotion to teaching, and the ability to inspire and motivate others. The recipient is representative of the high quality of teaching and learning that the University offers and promotes.
