Vision

  • To be a Division which epitomizes the use of project-based experiential learning in design education
  • To be a cradle for nurture of innovators and researchers with design and system thinking mindset and entrepreneur spirit

Mission

  • To advance learning and knowledge through active teaching and transdisciplinary research in integrative systems design
  • To provide differentiated learning opportunities for our students, especially those with unique talents and learning potentials, to realize their contribution to self, society and the world

One of the key initiatives of the?Integrative Systems and Design program from the?Hong Kong University of Science and Technology?is to promote design-oriented approach for technological-based innovation.?

This objective necessitates students to understand what design is, the principles and core design attributes, and their relevance to science and technology disciplines. In addition, such fundamentals provide a common platform for rigorous discussion; as design is postulated to be an everyday problem-solving activity that students of all disciplines could master.
