On 6th February, 2023, Pui Ching Middle School Macau Principal, Dr Kou Kam Fai, led a delegation of 23 Form 5 students and 8 faculty members to experience a day of college life at MCM College. The tour began at the State Key Laboratory of Analog and Mixed-Signal VLSI, and were warmly received by Profs. Pui In MAK and Chi Seng LAM. Shortly after, the group visited different laboratories at FST departments: Sensor-based Cooperative Robotics Laboratory (SCORE Lab), Laboratory for Ocean Environmental Pollution Analysis and Assessment, Automotive Engineering Laboratory, and Structures Laboratory. The aim was to stimulate the interests of scientific research among local secondary students.

When lunch at College Hall concluded, students continued their guided tour of MCM College to learn more about community and peer education across UM’s collegiate system. Participants took part in two experiential learning workshops: “Portuguese for Beginners” and “Career Interests Exploration”, conducted by Dr. Manuel Noronha and Miss. Alice Hong respectively. Finally, four senior college student representatives were invited to highlight their personal respective college experiences during a small group sharing session. Pui Ching School students expressed their interest in continuing their studies at the University of Macau and looked forward to experiencing residential college life.

MCM College Master, Prof. Kwok Cheung CHEUNG, presented certificates of participation to the group, and the activity came to a close.
