香港中文大學（中大）工程學院創新科技中心每年均與業界合作，為校內升讀最後修業年的工程學系學生提供為期一年的實習計劃。今年香港雖然受到金融海嘯的衝擊，但僱主提供的實習職位平均月薪仍有七千元，反映本港僱主仍然願意以合理薪酬聘請人材。 今年參與中大創新科技中心實習計劃的公司，截至現時為止共有64間，雖然比去年的總數95間為少，但實習職位的平均月薪仍有七千元，只比去年的七千九百元略為下調，而最高薪的更有九千元。中心主任兼中大工程學院外務副院長黃錦輝教授表示：「大部分參與實習計劃的公司已經與中心合作了兩、三年。在金融海嘯影響下，他們仍然願意以平均七千元聘請還未畢業的中大學生，可見僱主依然以合理薪酬聘請優秀的人材。現時不少公司都希望透過開發資訊科技系統達至開源節流的目的，所以修讀工程學科的學生不用過分擔心。」其中一名中大電子工程學系二年級生，已率先被一間電子產品公司以月薪七千元聘請為工程師見習生，將於今年六月開始為期一年的實習。 黃錦輝教授表示，參與的同學在選擇實習崗位時，除了考慮薪酬之外，亦會著重實習崗位能否提供學習機會。「去年有學生同時被兩間公司聘請，但考慮到薪酬較低的那個崗位有較多學習機會，最後就放棄了薪酬較高的那一份工作。」黃錦輝教授呼籲今年的準大學畢業生別失去信心，選擇工作時別忽略學習機會，在艱難的日子要努力裝備自己。

香港中文大學（中大）機械與自動化工程學系的博士生劉璐，在去年底修畢博士學位後即獲東京大學垂青，聘任為信息科學與科技研究院的助理教授，並將於今年四月正式上任。 根據譽滿學界的《泰晤士報高等教育特刊》2008年全球頂尖大學排行榜「科技」組別的評分，日本東京大學工程學院排名第九，全亞洲則排名第一。能夠獲聘於蜚聲國際的東京大學工程學院，劉璐認為除了個人的努力和學術成績外，更重要是因為得到老師的悉心栽培和具備國際視野。「我原本對工程學並不是特別熱愛，但來到中大之後，我的指導老師黃捷教授卻大大擴闊了我的眼界；加上中大為研究生提供很多參加國際學術會議的機會，得以吸收最新的資訊和技術，並與世界級學者交流砥礪，令我對研究工作愈感興趣，亦因而有所進步。」 More

現代人工作緊張，生活繁忙，部分人甚至長期處於健康與疾病之間的一種臨界狀態，稱之為亞健康狀態。處於這種狀態下的人雖然沒有發病，但身體或器官已經潛藏危害健康的因素。要及早發現這些因素，以預防疾病惡化，定期的身體檢查非常重要。但目前的身體檢查模式繁複漫長，而且費用不菲，往往令人對身體檢查望而卻步，亦難以滿足現代人對健康的需求。 由香港中文大學（中大）電子工程學系生物醫學工程聯合研究中心張元亭教授帶領的科研小組，最近成功研發了一張「多生理參數遙測椅」，使用者無需在身上放置任何電極或導線，都可以即時檢測出多達十個生理參數的測量結果，包括心率、心率變化率、收縮壓、舒張壓、血壓變化率、脈搏傳輸時間、呼吸率、心輸出量、血管硬度指數，以及血管感壓反應靈敏度，實現全面的一站式自動身體檢查。 More
