Mr. Paul HODGSON (CT/OES HK Joint Chapter, IEEE;  Director of Oceanway Corporation Limited; Lecturer, Caritas Institute of Higher Education (CIHE); Advisor, Apps Lab,  CityU)
Mr. Paul HODGSON
Director at Oceanway Corporation Limited, Lecturer at Caritas Institute of Higher Education (HK), Advisor to the Apps Lab – City University of Hong Kong Raised in a family of engineers, Paul was encouraged to build machines from an early age. His late preteen and adolescent years were spent in Thailand, Laos and Hong Kong. He returned to Australia for university and graduated with a degree in Electrical Engineering from Victoria University, Australia in 1983. He returned to Hong Kong in 1984 and worked in the telecom field in China until 1995. Paul learned all about ecology and marine science at HKU’s Swire Institute of Marine Science under the guidance and mentorship of the late Prof. Brian Morton. He then started the Oceanway Corporation, a Hong Kong based environmental engineering company, working in Asia on coral and other marine indicator species. Paul combined the engineering and the marine disciplines as a Fellow at the City University of Hong Kong in 2000. He worked with, and under the guidance, of Prof. Robin Bradbeer (IEEE Senior Member) to introduce Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) training into the curriculum of Hong Kong’s secondary schools and universities in 2005. This programme become further refined and ROV competitions started in 2006. The workshops and challenges continue to this day. In 2019 the IEEE CTOES added the Young Engineer (YE) Secondary School Student Conferences. In view of the success of these programmes, Paul feels that there is a need to further promote, encourage and develop the “Future Explorers” initiative, and learn more about what is out there in space. 成長在一個工程師家庭的Paul ,自小就受到啟發而愛上建造機器。Paul早年在泰國、老撾和香港生活,1983年於澳大利亞維多利亞大學畢業,獲得電機工程學位。由1984年回港至1995年爲止,他在國内參與電信行業的工作。Paul在香港大學太古海洋科學研究所在已故的Brian Morton教授的熏陶下學習有關生態學和海洋學的知識。然後,他創辦了Oceanway Corporation,一家總部位於香港的環境工程公司,在亞洲從事珊瑚及其他海洋生物的研究。 Paul 終歸將工程學和海洋學的知識結合起來,於2000加入香港城市大學成爲研究員。從2005開始,Paul在IEEE高級會員Robin Bradbee教授的指導下,將遙控無人潛水器(ROV)培訓引入香港中學和大學大學課程。這個計劃後來慢慢改進,並於2006年開始舉行ROV競賽。至今,相關的研討會和各種賽事仍在繼續進行。2019年,IEEE CTOES從2019開始舉辦青年工程師中學生會議。 鑑於這些計劃能夠得良好成果,Paul認為必須繼續推廣、鼓勵和發展“未來探險家”的概念,並探索太空中的未知。
