A MNE student team ( 2 PhD students LING Chen & YAO Xiaoxue and BEngM.E student WONG Yat Hei) has won two awards: 1) The Gold Award and 2) The Merit Award – The Best Engineering Solution Award in Chun Wo Innovation Student Awards 2020 (CWISA). This year, more than 70 teams from different universities participated in this innovation competition.
This project “The Fog-based Self-powered System (FSS)” co-supervised by Dr. Steven WANG and Prof. WANG Zuankai is inspired to utilize the abundant and free fog resources in Hong Kong to supply power charging for IOT devices or smart illumination in harsh & remote locations and at the same time provide freshwater for agricultural irrigation and domestic use.
The team will receive a cash prize of HK$106,000 and be invited to participate in a round-campus exhibition between May – Sept 2021. In addition to the cash award, Chun Wo will assist the team to execute their business idea through providing resources or investments.
