EME students visit Taipa Ferry Terminal and Morpheus Hotel
澳大機電工程系學生參觀氹仔客運碼頭及沐梵世酒店

On October 20 and November 28, the sophomores and seniors studying at the major of Electromechanical Engineering (EME) visited the electromechanical and fire protection facilities of Taipa Ferry Terminal and Morpheus Hotel of City of Dreams, respectively. The purpose of the activity is to cultivate the future professional electromechanical engineers. To support the professional engineer demand of the local engineering community, the Department of Electromechanical Engineering of UM has made adjustments to the undergraduate curriculum in 2016. Apart from the theoretical classes, students are also arranged to visit the different types of electromechanical facilities in order to making the EME professional courses more suitable to the needs of the community.

On October 20, the instructors led about 40 students to visit the electromechanical and fire protection facilities at the Taipa Ferry Terminal. The representative of the Port Affair Division of Marine and Water Bureau explained patiently the installation and the operation of the large-scale electromechanical and fire protection systems to the students so they could understand the practical application of those systems installed at the ferry terminal. On November 28, about 30 senior students studying at the elective course, “Fire Protection Engineering” visited the Morpheus Hotel construction site. Melco Resorts & Entertainment first arranged the MEP manager to briefly introduce the students about the fire protection facilities to the students and the use of performance-based design in the atrium of the hotel. After that, the Melco representative guided the students to some floors of the building to understand the distinct project design and the installation of fire protection facilities so as to enhance students’ knowledge of the practical construction of the electromechanical facilities.

EME greatly appreciate the help given by Marine and Water Bureau Director Susanna Wong Soi Man and leaderships of the Melco Resorts & Entertainment to provide the venues for the students studying at the two undergraduate courses, “Manufacturing Technology” and “Fire Protection Engineering”. The two courses instructors are Prof. Kwok Chi Tat, Prof. Tam Lap Mou, Dr. Lao Seng Kin, and Dr. Tam Hou Kuan.

澳門大學科技學院機電工程系大二及大四學生於本年十月二十日及十一月二十八日分別參觀了氹仔客運碼頭及新濠天地沐梵世酒店的機電及消防設施。活動目的是致力培養未來專業機電工程人才。為配合本地工程界對人才的需求，機電工程系於2016年在學士學位課程的設置上作出了調整。除理論課外，亦會安排學生參觀不同類型的機電設施，讓專業課程更能切合社會的需要。

在十月二十日，本系導師帶領約四十名學生參觀新落成的氹仔客運碼頭的機電及消防設施，榮幸地獲得海事及水務局港口事務處代表的耐心講解，讓學生明白新碼頭各大型機電系統的設置及實際應用情況。在十一月二十八日，約三十名選修消防課程的大四學生參觀了正在建造中的沐梵世酒店工程項目，新濠博亞娛樂首先安排機電部經理向學生簡單地介紹沐梵世酒店的先進消防設施及性能化設計在大空間的應用，然後由該公司代表帶領學生到一些樓層，瞭解該樓宇的設計特式特色及消防設施的安裝位置，加深學生對實際機電設施的建造知識。

澳大機電系非常感謝海事及水務局黃穗文局長及新濠博亞娛樂人事部及工程部主管的幫忙，為本系兩門學科（工業技術及消防工程）提供參觀的機會，該兩門學科的導師為郭志達教授、譚立武教授、劉承堅博士及譚浩崑博士。
