“New Bright Professorship in Engineering holds a special meaning. My late father established New Bright Industrial Co., Ltd. over 60 years ago in 1955, and since then, our remote and radio controlled toy products have been bringing joy to consumers around the world. As a privately-owned family business, we understand the importance of working hand-in-hand with different sectors to produce great products to the benefit of all concerned. We also believe that “it is more blessed to give than to receive”. Through this named professorship, we hope to nurture more brilliant ideas and help HKUST to reach new heights in teaching, research and serving the community.”

The Wong Check She Charitable Foundation (WCSC Foundation) was founded by the late Mr Wong Check She, whose company, New Bright Industrial Co., Ltd., is one of the world’s largest remote and radio controlled toy manufacturers. The Company is fully integrated in design, research and development, manufacturing, sales and marketing of toys. WCSC Foundation has been a long-time supporter of the University’s development and facilities that assist research and teaching. Wong Check She Research Center for Environment and Infrastructure is named after the founder of WCSC Foundation.
