Co-curricular Activities and Learning Support

Placement Schemes

In collaboration with industry, the Department aims to equip students early with real work experience before graduation through different placement schemes. We have Professional Internship Programme (PIP) of different durations (one-semester/two-semester/one-year), and two local and overseas summer placement opportunities namely Industrial Attachment Scheme (IAS) and Overseas Internship Scheme (OIS).

Global Outreach

Uplifting students’ global outreach and international competitiveness through student exchange is one of the Department’s goals. Since 2015, more than 360 students have been sent out to top universities in Australia, Belgium, Canada, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Japan, Korea, mainland China, Netherlands, New Zealand, Spain, Sweden, Taiwan, the UK and the USA for semester-long exchange and summer exchange. Unfortunately, due to COVID, the programme has been suspended since 2020 exchange programmes have been affected for years.

Student Tutoring Schemes

Student learning is always the Department's top priority, facilitated by the long-established Student Tutoring Scheme. The scheme aims to nurture good learning skills in our students, particularly during their first and second year with EE. Outstanding senior year students are selected to coach students on their studies through in-class or out-of-classroom support. The Scheme has successfully created a positive learning ambience among peers and has been well received among students.

Scholarships

Each year, approximately 60 scholarships worth over HK$ 1 million are granted to students of the Department of Electrical Engineering.
