In this engineering class, failing is actually part of the syllabus. 🤖🔧

Step into the "engineer’s playground" with Prof. Ben CHAN. By putting design thinking into action, he encourages students to get their hands dirty building robots and trying out crazy ideas, even if they don't work out. For him, the goal isn't building a perfect robot on the first try; it’s using those mistakes to teach students how to solve real problems in life. 💡

At HKUST, we don't just teach theory; we prepare students for the real world. This fearless, hands-on mentorship is why he was recognized with the Michael G. Gale Medal for Distinguished Teaching in 2025.

See how he prepares students for life beyond the lab！
