BSE Public CPD Lecture Adjunct Professor Talk A Gas Passport on 31 May 2010 Organized by the Department of Building Services Engineering, a public CPD lecture delivered by Professor James Yuk-Choi Kwan, JP on A Gas Passport was held on 31 May 2010 (Monday). Over 80 participants attend this CPD Lecture. Powerpoint file of the CPD lecture Professor James Yuk-Choi Kwan obtained his bachelor degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Hong Kong in 1973. He furthered his study at the Chinese University of Hong Kong and obtained the degree of Master of Business Administration in 1982. He also attended the Advance Management Program at the Business School of Harvard University in 1992. Professor Kwan has been appointed as Executive Director and Chief Operating Officer of Towngas Limited since 2003. He is well respected by the gas industry both locally and internationally.
