EE Faculty Sharing on Online Teaching
While the Pandemic COVID-19 is developing so rapidly and affecting different aspects of daily life, thanks to the extensive efforts of our EE faculty and staff, online teaching and learning have been adopted effectively across different class activities.
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.

Connecting with Students in the Special Time
Department keeps interacting with students in various ways in the special time.
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.
