If you have a full scholarship, and you need that scholarship in order to afford FIU, then you shouldn’t be planning on transferring out. You won’t get that kind of aid anywhere else as a transfer student, let alone as an international transfer student. If you can afford the list of places you would apply to as a transfer student, that is a different thing. Just be certain to have excellent grades, and good recommendations so that option can stay open in case you decide to pursue it.

For information on HKUST, pay a visit to the International Students Forum. You can find it by going to the main page where all of the forums are listed, and scrolling down.

If you have not heard about your final scholarship offer from HKUST before you must commit to FIU, go ahead and commit to FIU. If you get into HKUST later on, and the aid package there is workable, you can withdraw your enrollment at FIU. You may lose any deposits that you have paid, but that is all.
