A science promotion workshop co-organized by the Faculty of Science and Technology (FST) of the University of Macau (UM) and Pui Ching Middle School was held in Pui Ching Middle School on 4 July, 2009. The workshop is designed for science teachers from local high schools with the aim of updating them on the latest technology development trend in recent years as well as providing them with more information on college admissions and the job market so that they can counsel students more flexibly. The workshop attracted teachers from ten local high schools.
The speakers included heads of four departments of FST, namely Prof. Tam Lap Mou (Electromechanical Engineering), Prof. Vai Mang I (Electrical and Electronics Engineering), Prof. Gong Zhiguo (Computer and information Science), and Prof. Yuen Ka Veng (Civil and Environmental Engineering).
