It aims to outline scope of TA duties and expectation, departmental policy, and the needs of TA training during the PhD studies. PhD student with good TA performance was also invited to share with peers the good practices for carrying out TA duties.

EE Student Orientation was held on 24, 26 August 2021 and 6 September 2021 to extend our big warm welcome to the new student members, introduce to them the available resources and learning support in this new family, their professional development and career outlook after graduation, and surely their most concerned programme information and details. 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. Some 340 students and faculty enjoyed the interactive “get-together” before the start of school. Big welcome again and may we wish you all an exciting and fulfilling journey with EE!

This was done by reinforcing basic theory and allowing students to construct a wind power electricity generator, an audio power amplifier and a solar power electricity generator. Each student was able to take home one of their constructed projects as a useful souvenir. Students were encouraged to be creative by giving them an opportunity to think and present a grand idea based on the projects that they had built. This workshop also gave students an environment to get to know more of their classmates, something that had been missing with online classes.
