Breathing is vital to us. We cannot survive without proper breathing even for a few minutes. Although breathable air seems to be available everywhere, the air that we breathe everyday may contain some harmful contaminants that have various short-term and long-term effects to our health. This course introduces the possible sources of some commonly found indoor and outdoor airborne contaminants (e.g. formaldehyde, particulate matter, sulphur oxides, nitrogen oxides, carbon dioxide and volatile organic compounds) and their health effects, methods for monitoring the levels of these contaminants and the corresponding legislation for control. The course includes two laboratory sessions which allow students to acquire practical experience on measuring airborne contaminants using different types of devices.

課程大綱 Programme Outline |
本課程旨在讓學生了解我國航空航天工程的先進發展,培養他們的民族自豪感。從一系列有關各種航空航天專案開發的基本原理和影響的基礎知識講座開始,學生將參與 6 個問題為本的實踐學習模組,透過這些模組,他們將能夠發展基本知識和技能介紹「長徵」系列運載火箭、北斗衛星導航系統、火星探測工程、中國大陸太空站等多項航天措施的具體情況。相信學生會得到足夠的啟發,從事航天相關的深造。 本課程共設有兩個階段。 This programme aims to keep students abreast of our country’s advanced development in aerospace engineering and foster their sense of national pride. Starting with a series of lectures on foundational knowledge about the rationale and impacts of the development of various aerospace projects, students would then be engaged in 6 hands-on problem-based learning modules through which they will be able to develop the essential knowledge and skills about the details of various of aerospace initiatives, such as the “Long March” series of rockets, Beidou Satellite Navigation System, Mars exploration project and the Chinese Space Station in the mainland. It is believed that students would get sufficient inspiration to engage in aerospace-related further study. The programme consists of 2 phases. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 第一階段(約四個月) Phase 1 (about 4 months)
