Programme Aim

The MSc programme aims to provide an enhancement of specialist technical knowledge in strategically selected areas, such as RF circuits & applied electromagnetics, wireless communications, networking & data communications, and optical communications that are relevant to the current and anticipated future needs from industry. Due to the rapid advances of existing technologies, the programme is designed for practicing engineers who want to upgrade and update their knowledge in this field.

The programme also offers a good selection of business management electives, preparing engineers with knowledge on top of their technical fronts to take up managerial positions in their career.

Programme Intended Learning Outcomes

With the global trend towards the adoption of the outcomes based approach to education, City University embarked on the Outcomes-based Teaching and Learning (OBTL) project in 2005 to signify its determination to continue to enhance the education experience for its students. All taught postgraduate programmes and courses of EE have adopted this outcomes based approach since 2009, with some of them in pilot runs in earlier years. Sets of intended learning outcomes on both course level and programme level have been developed. Course Intended Learning Outcomes (CILOs) of individual courses and their constructive alignment with programme outcomes can be found in respective course syllabuses while Programme Intended Learning Outcomes (PILOs) are listed below for students' reference:

1.
An ability to describe current and anticipated trends in the selected areas including Wireless Communications; Networking and Information Engineering; Optical Communications; and RF Circuits and Applied Electromagnetics.
2. An ability to evaluate and analyze new technologies in the selected areas.
3. An ability to apply specialist knowledge in the selected areas.
4. An ability to assess, evaluate and formulate solutions to problems or specifications, in the selected areas.
5. Research and develop new technologies and products in the selected areas.
6. Apply effective communication skills in their professions.
7. An ability to manage teams of technologists with good senses of business and marketing (BM option only).
