Welcome MPI Newcomers
理工學院在新學年開始之際，展開了為期一週的迎新生系列活動，旨在加強新生入學教育，增加新生對學院的認識及歸屬感，並強化新舊學生的融和。迎新週活動除了開學禮，還包括內地新生及家長說明會、迎新會、高校生活錦囊系列講座、電訊及銀行服務展、IT產品及書刊優惠日。
在九月四日的迎新會上，近500名“新鮮人”與參加迎新的學院領導以及學長們穿上整齊的迎新T恤，興致勃勃地度過了愉快的一天。院長李向玉教授在會上致詞勉勵各新生，呼籲同學們珍惜高校學習機會，在追求學術成就時，也積極參與課堂外的學習活動，努力做到全人發展，成為未來的社會棟梁。
另外，學院還準備了迎新禮物包 -- 活動宣傳資料、致新生家長的信、紀念品等，致送給各位參加迎新會的“新鮮人”。 學生會代表們以及各類學生活動隊伍，如葡國土風舞隊、龍舟隊、辯論隊等，進行了現場表演和介紹；期間各同學動腦動手參與遊戲，玩得不亦樂乎，氣氛非常熱烈。午飯過後，同學們搭乘校巴參觀了高等衛生學校、藝術高等學校、博彩技術暨研究中心及學生宿舍等校外設施，對學院有了更進一步的了解。
At the beginning of the new academic year a series of orientation activities were held to welcome and orient MPI newcomers and to develop peer relationships and their sense of belonging to their School. The orientation activities included briefing sessions for new Mainland students and their parents, the Orientation Day, the General Guide for Freshmen Seminars, the Opening Ceremony for the new academic year, and promotion days for telecommunication and banking services, IT products, and books and periodicals.

MPI President Professor Lei Heong Iok asked students to treasure every learning opportunity they would have, equipping themselves well for their future in the wider society.
During the gathering, representatives of the students’ union and various interest clubs introduced and demonstrated their activities.

Every participant received a welcome gift kit, including promotion materials, letters to parents and MPI souvenirs. Finally, a campus tour concluded the Orientation Day.
