Event Highlights: Australia Study Tour
To broaden students’ exposure and cultivate a global perspective on science, technology, and innovation, our department organized a study tour to Sydney, Australia from 1–8 July 2025. Led by Ms. Elly Heung and Ms. Ellen Xie, a group of students participated in the tour, which featured academic visits to the University of Sydney and the University of Technology Sydney (UTS), where students engaged with local faculty and explored learning environments. A key experiential highlight was the Discovery Tour at Taronga Zoo, offering a guided exploration of Australian and exotic wildlife, with a focus on ecological science and conservation practices. Students also visited the Australian National Maritime Museum, where they learned about maritime innovation and technological advancements in seafaring history. A Segway tour in Hunter Valley provided a hands-on encounter with mobility technology in a real-world setting. Through this immersive itinerary, students gained valuable insights into Australia’s approach to sustainability, scientific research, and technological development, strengthening their academic and cultural understanding in a global context.
