Year 1 courses will teach you the basics in electronics and communications covering analogue, digital and programming topics. There will be ample hands-on experience in the form of structured laboratories.
Year 2 courses are more advanced and will give you the necessary background for the more specialized courses in Year 3. Course subjects include principles of communications, analogue electronic circuits, signal analysis, microprocessor and assembly programming, systems & control and communication engineering. The majority of core courses are supported by some structured laboratories and in addition you will also embark on a freer approach to laboratory work in electronic product design.
Year 3 courses are mainly technical electives covering specialized subject areas. Choices range from wireless and optical communications, industrial electronics, and computer networks to Internet technologies. You will also be required to work independently on your final year project, where you will be required to solve problems of a high technological level.

In Year 2 summer, students are provided opportunities to work as summer interns for 9 weeks in local and overseas multi-national corporations such as DBS, Chubb Hong Kong Ltd., Elec & Eltek International (HK) Ltd., MTR, KCRC, etc. In 2007 summer, 9 students from the Department had their internship training in different overseas corporations in Canada, France, Singapore, U.K. and Thailand. This greatly enhances graduates’ career prospects and broadens their exposure.
Co-operative Education Scheme (CES)
Subsequent to the summer internship, students may join the 12-month Co-operative Education Scheme during their final year. Selected students will work as full-time interns in the partner companies. They will be given day release to attend classes so that they can complete the programmes within 3.5 years while gaining one-year full-time working experience. Some students were directly offered jobs by the partner companies at the end of the scheme.
Scholarships
Every year, some 50 scholarships worth over HK$500,000 are secured by students of the Department.

Student Exchange
Every year, the Department provides financial support for students to join student exchange programmes as a way to broaden their international exposure. In 2006/07, five students were financed to join the exchange programmes in the top universities in Canada, the U.S.A., Korea, Singapore and China. In 2007/08, nine other students will benefit from the programmes to be held in the U.S.A.
Over the years, our students have won many top prizes in local and international open competitions and award schemes. Click here for more information.
