He has also served as the vice chairman of the SAR government’s environment advisory committee as well as a member of its transport advisory committee. ‘Serving the local community is something that you have to do with your heart,’ says Prof Kou. ‘Now that I have gained some experience in social services, my sharing with students will be more convincing and hopefully will help them apply their knowledge in society.’ Supporting Community Science Outreach In addition to technical support, UM has also made important contributions to society in science popularisation. For instance, it uses advanced laboratory equipment on campus to enhance science education for primary and secondary school students. In 2015, the Macao Science and Technology Development Fund and UM signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on various issues, including the establishment of Centre for Science and Engineering Promotion. According to the 完善中小學生科學教育。2015年， 澳門科學技術發展基金與澳大簽訂了 「科普合作備忘錄」，當中包括建立 科學暨工程科普推廣中心（下稱科普 中心），善用大學的設備和支援，旨 在大幅提升澳門學生的科學素養。 2018年成立的「澳門中小學生科技實 踐基地」以科普中心為核心，推行了 一系列STEM教育計劃，支持社區科 學推廣活動，為中小學師生提供可持 續培訓。基地善用澳大的科研資源， 澳中小學提供全面的STEM教育和 活動。科普中心持續組織及舉辦相關 活動，包括與葡萄牙國家科學暨技術 文化推廣署簽署合作框架協議，進一 步落實雙方在STEM教育的合作，提 高兩地大眾對科普的關注；以及支援 澳門科學技術發展基金主辦的尖子培 訓項目——潛能拓展計劃，為澳門學 澳門學生參與科普活動 Macao students participate in a science popularisation activity 擁有的公司並名為——澳大工程研究 及檢測中心有限公司（UMCERT）， 全力提升工程品質及檢驗方面的專業 服務。 土木及環境工程系副教授高冠鵬多年 來參與了CERT的監測工程服務，並擔 任環境諮詢委員會副主席、交通諮詢 委員會委員等，他說：「服務澳門是 要用心去做，當擁有社會服務經驗再 在課堂上跟學生分享就會顯得更有說 服力，也讓學生明白其所學在社會上 是如何應用的。」 支持社區科 學推廣 澳大也在 科普教育 方面作出 重要貢獻， 以其先進的 實驗室設備 of all sizes. Through the State Key Laboratory of Internet of Things for Smart City (SKLIOTSC), UM has established collaborative relationships with Companhia de Electricidade de Macau (CEM, the local electricity company), Companhia de Telecomunicações de Macau (CTM, a local telecommunications service provider), Macao Water Supply Company Limited, Nam Kwong Petroleum and Chemicals Company Limited, and the Hong Kong‑Zhuhai‑Macao Bridge Authority, to carry out R&D projects in smart energy, 5G applications, environmental pollution control, natural gas, infrastructure, and equipment operation and maintenance, which aim to enhance technological innovation for smart city development in Macao, as well as the industrial applications of these technologies. Prof Dai Ningyi, assistant dean of the Faculty of Science and Technology (FST) and associate professor in SKLIOTSC, is an expert in urban power distribution networks. According to her, UM has been working closely with CEM to improve the quality of electricity supply and grid reliability. ‘Our research studies focus on creating smart energy systems for cities and solving problems in the supply of clean, efficient and reliable energy,’ says Prof Dai. ‘We will continue to work with the SAR government to promote smart city development and serve the community with innovative technology.’ Providing Engineering Quality Inspection With the development of the economy after the handover, large‑scale public construction and infrastructure projects have begun one after another in Macao since 2003. To respond to the Macao SAR government’s increasing demand for quality control and technical support in engineering, the Centre for Engineering Research and Testing (CERT) was established at UM in the same year to provide professional service in engineering inspection and monitoring. The centre is supported by a team of UM faculty members with strong technical backgrounds. UM plans to restructure CERT into a wholly‑owned subsidiary named UMCERT Engineering Research and Testing Limited to provide professional services in engineering quality and inspection.
