At the end of the Undergraduate session, new students mingled with their mentors and learned more about the university and tips of learning from peer perspectives.

The Student Project Exhibition is an important event of the College of Engineering, held on 29 and 30 June 2021. A wide range of student and staff research projects with daily applications, has been showed in an interesting and lively manner throughout the two-day event. In addition, there have also been 8 live STEM workshops on both days for secondary students to experience science, technology and engineering activities delivered by our teachers.

A Special Recruitment Session in mixed mode was held on 19 July 2021 for a more in-depth exchange and sharing. Our Head of EE Department Prof Stella Pang kick-started the session, followed by 2 alumni sharing sessions, a lab tour and sharing sessions with the student ambassadors.

This tour was designed based on “play and learn” educational theory. By merging the visit to high tech companies with group project, competition and presentation, all the students found this tour very inspiring and eye-opening! 8 EE student winners include: He Houbo, Li jiaxing, Cai Mau Yin, Yupei Zhang, Alvi Rahman, Zhao yangyang, Wang Zhenzheng, Yuvraj Patra, Abdurrashid Sanka, Yan Boxun and Hon Shing Hei.

Professor Michael Tse, Associate Vice-President (Strategic Research) and Chair Professor of Electrical Engineering was very pleased to witness the commencement of phase four of the joint laboratory programme and expected that the plan will develop more innovative technologies, in line with the trend of high-tech marketization, to promote University students to join global technological entrepreneurship and benefit our society.

Since its establishment in 2019, the CityU EE Joint Lab Programme has connected with a total of 22 CityU EE Joint Lab Partners. A series of cooperative and technical projects have been/will be launched with these partners. For example, ASM Pacific is now carrying out new research projects with EE Faculty. Gold Peak Group has arranged research projects and on-site visits to the Hong Kong Science and Technology Park and the Central KEF Advanced Audio Experience Center, and gave a training program to EE students. Microsoft Hong Kong and Macau arranged training programs for hundreds of EE students with relevant global certifications. SmarTone Group has set up a new 5G laboratory at CityU to enhance the research work of related Faculty and graduate students. SUGA International Group Co., Ltd. arranged a research project in high-performance and low-power hardware design with artificial intelligence for pets. Many more exciting collaborations are expected as we continue to work closely with our CityU EE Joint Lab partners.
