Competition winning award (URA x IVE Innovative Design Competition) by Engineering Department, IVE(TM)
3 full-time IVE(TM) students of ‘Higher Diploma in Computer and Electronic Engineering’ teamed up to compete in the competition ‘URA x IVE Innovative Design Competition’, which was jointly organized by Urban Renewal Authority (URA) and Hong Kong Institute of Vocational Education (IVE). The students utilized their engineering knowledge of electronics and computing, and devised an emergency and safety net system for old buildings through researching the buildings architecture. The system can help lessening the aging problem effect of buildings such as electricity shortage or instability, fire detection and alarm issues, and in return provides a more reliable and safer living environment for building residents. The system can trigger instant and real-time alert to respective parties for taking preventive and corrective measures under abnormalities conditions. Finally, the engineering IVE(TM) students won the “Silver Award”(also the First Runner-Up prize) in the competition, striving their very best efforts and demonstrating their excellence. Congratulations on the achievements!
