About Houses
The School of Engineering adopts a house system for first-year advising, which is facilitated by the Peer Mentoring Program (PMP). Each house comprises a diverse mix of first-year engineering undergraduates, including local, mainland, and international students, and is aided by SENG faculty, staff advisors, and senior student mentors. Apart from delivering guidance and assistance through peer advisory sessions, the Peer Mentors also arrange a range of activities in various areas of interest to enrich your first-year journey in the School.
You will receive an email in late August containing information about the house to which you belong.
The four houses that belong to SENG are: Ace, Oasis, Nexus, and Metanoia.

House Grey – Metanoia
Hello Freshmen, this is Grey House, also known as Metanoia! It's time for transition into your first year of university and make it a memorable and rewarding experience!
Metanoia refers to a transformative change in one's way of life resulting from penitence or spiritual conversion. Obviously, our goal is to help freshmen experience a similar transformative change during their first year of university, empowering them to grow and develop into responsible, ethical, innovative, and empathetic individuals. As second-year or above students, we have already experienced the challenges and opportunities that freshmen will encounter in their first year of university. We believe in the power of peer support to help students navigate this important transition.
At the core of our house is the belief in the butterfly effect - small actions can have a big impact, and positive change can ripple outwards from individual students to the broader university community and beyond. We will do our very best to support and guide you through your first year of university and beyond. See you all soon!
