Notes:

  1. i/ Including non-credit-bearing courses EE4096 Engineering Training I, and EE4097 Engineering Training II.
    ii/ EE1001, EE1002 and GE1354 are not required for Advanced Standing I & II students.
    iii/ CS2311 is not required for Advanced Standing II students.
    iv/ Requirements on EE2000, EE2004 and EE2005 will be considered case by case based on ASII students’ backgrounds in the subjects.
    v/ Normative 4-year Degree students (2020 entering major) are not required to take EE1000.

  2. Students are required to take at least FOUR electives (12 CUs) from the Elective List.
  3. Normative 4-year Degree and ASI students entering without Level 4 in HKDSE English Language are required to take EL0200A English for Academic Purposes 1 & EL0200B English for Academic Purposes 2 (EAP) of 6 credit units before progressing to GE1401 University English and GE2410 English for Engineering. Early exit arrangement is available that students achieving a grade B or above in their overall course results for EL0200A will be permitted to exit at this point and progress to the GE English courses.

    The credits earned from the EAP course(s) will not be counted towards the minimum credit units required for graduation nor be calculated in students’ CGPA. Students who are not admitted through JUPAS are invited upon enrolment to take the English Placement Test or to provide proof of alternative qualifications to be exempted from the ELC courses (details).

    ASII students are not required to take GE1401 nor EL0200A & EL0200B.

     

  4. Normative 4-year Degree and ASI students entering without Level 4 in HKDSE Chinese Language are required to take a 3-credit-unit course CHIN1001 University Chinese I. The credits earned will not be counted towards the minimum credit units required for graduation nor be calculated in students' CGPA.

  5. Normative 4-year Degree students are required to take a minimum of 3 CUs from each of the following specified areas – 1/ Arts and Humanities, 2/ Study of Societies, Social and Business Organizations, and 3/ Science and Technology.

    Advanced Standing I students are required to take their 6CUs from two different areas from above.

    ^ ASI and ASII students are required to take 6 credit units of MA courses from the above pairs.  Students exempted from either one or both of the above MA courses should take any course(s) not within the Major Requirement (including core courses and electives) to make up for the minimum curriculum requirement.

  7. Normative 4-year Degree students are required to take two courses (6CUs) out of three for their College requirement. Courses include PHY1201 General Physics I, BCH1100 Chemistry, and BCH1200 Discovery in Biology. Electrical Engineering Students are recommended to take PHY1201 and BCH1100.

  8. Students having completed EE4081 Professional Internship Program (6CUs) are not required to take EE3012 Engineers in Society (3CUs) and one other elective (3CUs). For those who have completed 12-month internship in EE4081 are not required to take EE4097 Engineering Training II.

Major Programme Features

The first year of this major includes basic courses in electronics and electrical engineering that focus on topics such as analogue, digital and programming to prepare students for more advanced courses in the major’s later years. There is plenty of hands-on experience through laboratory work and upon completion of the basic courses, more advanced courses follow to give students the necessary background for the specialized courses in the final stage of the major.

Core subjects include Principles of Communications, Logic Circuit Design, Electronic Devices and Circuits, Signals and Systems, Microcomputer Systems, Computer Programming, Systems and Control, Introduction to Electric Power Systems, Introduction to Electric Machines and Drives, and Applied Electromagnetics. The majority of core courses are supported by relevant laboratory work. Moreover, students (in teams) will also participate in a design project course in the second year of the major to learn how to collaborate and apply their basic knowledge in an interdisciplinary and holistic provision for solving real-life problems and applications.

The technical electives in the final stage of the major cover specialized subject areas, with choices ranging from Microwave Circuits for 5G Wireless Product Design, Fundamentals of Antenna Design, Mobile Data Networks, Optical Fibre Communications, Introduction to Integrated Photonics, Sustainable Energy Systems, Engineering Applications of Artificial Intelligence to Data Engineering and Learning Systems. Students will also be required to work independently on their Final Year Project, in which they will be required to solve problems at a high technological level. For those students who want to gain on job working experience before graduation may also join the Professional Internship Program at their final year of study.
