Building Capacity, Developing Talents 拓展潛能，培育人才
Providing rich learning experience is the starting point of a university’s journey of transforming lives.Innovative teaching creates opportunities for students’ learning via different means, from e-learning at web platforms, non-traditional design thinking course, experiential service learning, to undergraduate research opportunities. Students are encouraged to take on real-world challenges, via programs such as Hackathon, SIGHT, corporate projects; or competitions such as Robotics team, aircraft design and case competitions.
HKUST reaches out to cultivate talents among secondary school students through the proactive participation in Hong Kong Physics Olympiad and International Mathematical Olympiad.
為學生創造豐富的學習體驗，是大學創新的根本。
新穎的教學途徑讓學生多角度學習，例如網上課程、設計思維、社會服務、本科生研究計劃等；科大亦鼓勵學生從實戰和比賽中成長，Hackathon、「視野無界」課程、企業實習、機械人設計比賽、飛機設計比賽及案例分析比賽都是好例子。
科大也為培育資優中學生出力，積極推動國際數學奧林匹克和物理奧林匹克在本地的發展。

The International Mathematical Olympiad 國際數學奧林匹克
Talent needs nurture. Partnering with the Hong Kong Education Department, the University in 2001 started to offer Saturday Math classes to young students through the Exceptionally Gifted Students Program. Many of these students participated in the Hong Kong International Math Olympiad (IMO) training program, which was carried out in HKUST every Saturday. These cumulative efforts produced the first Gold medal for Hong Kong in the 2002 IMO.
人才需要培養。自2001年起，科大與香港教育局合作，通過「特別資優學生培育支援計劃」，為中小學生開設週六數學特訓課程。不少學員同時參加了香港國際數學奧林匹克培訓項目。他們努力不懈，積極備賽，令香港隊在2002年國際數學奧林匹克競賽中贏得第一枚金牌。

Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program 本科生研究計劃
Pioneered by HKUST, the Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program (UROP) was launched in 2005 to give undergraduate students an early taste of research under faculty guidance. While fostering a research culture within the undergraduate community, UROP encourages students to think critically and to formulate new research problems, with long-term benefit for their careers. Having received enthusiastic support from faculty members and positive feedback from students, it expanded from a summer activity to a signature program offered in all three semesters.
2005年，科大首創「本科生研究計劃」，讓學生能夠在教授的帶領指導下接觸科研。此計劃為本科生提供研究機會，培養他們的批判思維和思考新研究課題的能力，為未來的事業發展定下基礎。由於師生反應熱烈，計劃現已擴充為每個學期都可報讀的亮點課程。
