Artist's Interpretation

The design idea of this work is to highlight the spirits of the four colleges of the University, respectively, the College of Engineering, College of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, College of Management and College of Humanities and Social Sciences.  The image of two hands on the background implies the joint efforts made by the KUAS faculty and students, who have, with their both hands, created the legacy and prosperity of the University.  College of Engineering: The industrial gears represent the pursuit of excellence in the precision industry. College of Management: The spade-shaped coins imply the management of talents, products and numbers.  College of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science: The computer mouse is an icon of digital information.  College of Humanity and Social Sciences: The image of books highlights the fact that humanity and culture are passed on through books.   The sun, finally, signifies the bright future of the four KUAS colleges, as well as the promising career of all its students. The soaring swallows at the top part, furthermore, highlight the ingenious soaring thoughts of KUAS students. The surface underneath is formed by the time lines, a design based on the concept of a sundial to enrich the functionality of the space and time.
