All EE Events

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!

It comprises 10 some members who are experienced professionals in the EE field providing us support and constructive advice on curriculum and training enhancement, programme promotion and how to foster closer collaboration with the industry. 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. Our achievements and successes are down to the dedication and professionalism of these valuable staff. Our heartfelt thanks to all of them!
