In order to maximize student learning through this new mode of class delivery, EE organized two ZOOM sharing sessions held on 5 February and 27 March where faculty actively shared their best practices on online teaching for lectures, labs, projects, presentations, and tests. To prepare faculty for the upcoming examinations held in May, apart from all best practices shared at the briefing, it also served as a good opportunity to collect different suggestions from faculty in formulating the departmental guidelines on online tests/examinations.

Our faculty’s resilience in the face of adversity is indeed admirable. We all adapt differently and we will all adapt together.

When teaching and learning all to be conducted online in this semester, Department keeps interacting with students in various ways. Course lecturers are the frontline ones to keep close contacts with students taking their courses through user-friendly electronic platforms. We also invited all EE students to do a survey for the first two-week of online teaching to let us know how they have learnt. During the mid of the semester, the respective five programme teams together with Head of the Department met with student representatives of different majors/programmes (both undergraduate and postgraduate ones) via Zoom to hear their feedback and concerns. Technology keeps us connected and voices from students are always the foundation and drive for the Department to do better and further.

The EE workshop titled 「精靈寶可夢的人工智能工作坊」conducted by Dr Ray Cheung, Associate Professor of Department of Electrical Engineering, attracted over 70 participants as an exciting kick-start for the workshop series. Students found the online teaching platform interactive which got them an early taste of prevailing technological topics such as Artificial Intelligence in EE.

It was a valuable occasion where faculty members and students gathered and mingled with each other so as to exchange ideas on teaching and learning, and build up connections. Everyone enjoyed the fruitful knowledge exchange in this event. It also served the purpose to celebrate the hard work of a year and welcome another good year.

This year, some 40 staff attended the retreat held at the Aberdeen Marina Club on 6 January 2020. Group discussions on topics ‘Students and Faculty Recruitment’, ‘Teaching Quality’, ‘EE Strategic Focused Areas and University Strategic Focused Areas: “Matter” and “Brain”’, and ‘Qualifying Examination’ have led to a solid implementation plan of actions. Besides, the team building activities were so enjoyable and served as a good chance to know the different big talents of our faculty!

Nine members came to CityU to have luncheon and meeting with our faculty members on 30 October 2019. Prof Ron Chen, Dr Cheng Wang and Prof Moshe Zukerman were invited to have lunch with DAC members during which their recent research works were presented fostering academic-industry collaborations. A meeting was held on the same day where active discussions were made on teaching and research leading to new bright ideas incubated for future development.

Among the award recipients were 23 EE professors, technical staff and administrative staff who have worked at CityU for 10 years to 30 years. Some of them who have served the University for 25 years or 30 years were presented awards by President Kuo and senior management at the ceremony.
