Talk:Hong Kong University of Science and Technology

Annual Function run by Student Affair Office and students' societies to students in the South East Asia
There is two activities organized by HKUST to South East Asia:

1) Delta Forum

The Business Students’ Union, Engineering Students’ Union, and Science Students' Association of HKUST jointly organize a program entitled “Delta Forum’ for tertiary students of the Pan-Pearl River Delta region. The Delta Forum is a program which aims to stimulate our fellow students’ awareness of the cultural, social and economic influences of the Pan-Pearl River Delta Region and to provide an opportunity for students from different backgrounds to exchange and share intellectually as well as culturally.

In Delta Forum 2007, international exposure and cultural exchange will also be a special new feature. We plan to invite university students from Singapore, Malaysia and Australia to join the Delta Forum. It will help to widen the participants’ exposure and perspective through the sharing and exchange.

2) Aearu Camp

The Association of East Asian Research Universities (AEARU) was formed in January 1996 to promote cooperation and exchange among universities in East Asia.AEARU bring stogether 17 universities from the following regions: Chinese Mainland, Hong Kong, Japan, Korea and Taiwan. These universities all have significant strengths in science and technology, sharing common traits in their academic profiles, educationalgoals, R&D interest and faculty composition. Being in the same geographical area, they also share a similar culture and a strong sense of affinitywith one another. AEARU was formed to identify areas of mutual interest for productive collaboration and the AEARU Student Camp is one of the activities organized to achieve this.

The first AEARU Student Camp was held at Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH) in South Korea in 1997. Since 1998 summer, four AEARU Student Camps (Topical) were held at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST). All of them were successfully held. After four years, the Student Camp (General) will be held in HKUST.

Unnecessary information
This article needs a wikiedit as it contains many unnecessary information which is not related to the university itself. One of these examples are "hair salon prices" etc...

List of clubs is highly excessive. Please remove links. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.40.139.109 (talk) 14:05, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

Edit
Edited Introduction, History as well as Campus section. Will continue as time allows.
 * I think the Section about the "Students' Union" are unrelated to this article. Lokionly (talk) 09:28, 31 August 2010 (UTC)

HKUST rankings
I edited the section of rankings due to the following reasons:

Pieces of information about QS world university subjects rankings and TIMES rankings of universities under 50 were added with the removal of the result of ARWU. I think this is improper as ARWU is among one of the three most influential university rankings, being cited on many other university articles as well.

Moreover, not only does QS world university give subject rankings, so do the TIMES and ARWU. So, it is unnecessary to list all those rankings as readers can access those official websites for details.

Further, the contents are not well-organized that the results of several rankings given by a single institution were separated.

Thanks you! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 14.136.64.76 (talk) 16:36, 21 November 2012 (UTC)

WP:PUFFERY
I'm sure the original editors of this article are justifiably proud of their university, but starting with the Logo and Icon sections it really becomes sweet enough to give one a toothache. See WP:PUFFERY. For example:


 * Its elegance marries elements of the past, while remaining timeless, invoking the future with its minimalist lines, though instantly recognizable as the form of fire, the unity of these incongruent idea stands as a testament to what can be accomplished by the ambition of man.

None of this business is linked to a reliable source whose opinions it reflects and if it did the notability of a logo -- compared to, for example, renowned faculty members -- is questionable. If the logo has won a graphic arts award or the sculpture a sculpture award that would make a difference, of course. Cite your sources.

Later sections do better on the issue of references. –Blanchette (talk) 20:51, 25 May 2020 (UTC)
