Harness the Wind Fun Day

The Fun Day inspired the students by introducing the movie “The Boy Who Harnessed The Wind”, the young Malawian genius who built a windmill entirely via DIY methods and saved his family and village from drought and famine. It also provided high-school students hands on experience, with teaching of simple wind power generator and building up their own wind power generator in a competition. Two current EE students, Mr. Kenny Chan (Year 1) and Mr. Charles Chan (Year 3 ECE), shared their learning experiences in EE. During the Fun Day, the teachers and principals were treated to a Laboratory Tour featuring the teaching facilities and projects within CityU-EE. We concluded with an Q&A among high-school students, EE undergraduate students and EE professors. All the participants found the Fun Day fruitful and increased their interests in CityU EE.

CityU EE Established New Joint Laboratory with another Six World-renowned Enterprises to Develop an Innovation and Technology Ecosystem in Hong Kong

Professor Christian Wagner, Provost and Chair Professor of Social Media, was delighted to witness the commencement of phase five of the joint laboratory programme and mentioned that "The EE department at CityU is merely one component in this partnership. The strength of the network arises from the excellent joint research and innovation activities with the now 28 partner organisations. Networks are strong, resilient, and create exponential benefits for their participants. This is the essence of success of the CityU EE Joint Lab."

Since its establishment in 2019, the CityU EE Joint Lab Programme has connected with a total of 28 CityU EE Joint Lab Partners. A series of cooperative and technical projects have been/will be launched with these partners. For example, Compass Technology has arranged a student internship programme and has invited university professors to discuss research projects. Intel Co., Ltd. has arranged FPGA online training for CityU EE students. Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) and Joint Universities Computer Centre held an artificial intelligence lecture and invited university students to participate. Pong Yuen Group has donated NVIDIA JETSON Nano computing platforms for organizing artificial intelligence training classes to allow undergraduates and graduate students to participate in AI learning. United Microelectronics Center (Hong Kong) arranged lectures with professors from EE and deepened the joint research with CityU.
