Notes:

  1. i/ Including non-credit-bearing courses EE4090 Engineering Training.
    ii/ EE1001, EE1002, EE1004 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, EE2005 and EE2331 will be considered case by case based on ASII students’ backgrounds in the subjects.
    v/ All students are required to take EE1000 in the first Semester of their studies.

  2. Students are required to take at least FIVE electives (15 CUs) of which no more than TWO Level-3 elective should be taken. For details of the course pre-requisite requirement, please refer to the Programme and Course Information web site at http://www.ee.cityu.edu.hk/main/student/ for major and course information.

  3. Normative 4-year degree and ASI students entering without Level 4 in HKDSE English Language are required to take LC0200A English for Academic Purposes 1 & LC0200B 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 LC0200A 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 LC course ( http://www.cityu.edu.hk/elc/courses_exemption.html).

    ASII Students are not required to take GE1401 nor LC0200A & LC0200B

  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 Organization, and 3/ Science and Technology.

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

  6. College-specified courses for fulfilling the Gateway Education requirement
    MA1200/
    MA1300
    Calculus and Basic Linear Algebra I/
    Enhanced Calculus and Linear Algebra I
    3 credit units
    MA1201/
    MA1301
    Calculus and Basic Linear Algebra II/
    Enhanced Calculus and Linear Algebra II
    3 credit units
    EE2066* Engineers in Society 3 credit units
    * Counted as “College-specified GE Course" for 4-year degree students, but counted as “Major Requirement” for Advanced Standing I/II students. Students successfully completed EE4082/EE4083/EE4084 are not required to take this course.

    ^ 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) of College Requirement. Courses include CS1302 Introduction to Computer Programming (3CUs) and PHY1202 General Physics II (3CUs).

  8. Students having successfully completed Professional Internship Program (EE4082/EE4083/EE4084) are not required to take some specific courses in Major requirement. Please refer to the part of Optional Internship Courses for details.

Major Programme Features

This major focuses on five areas: Networking and Communications, Algorithms and Optimization,  Cybersecurity, Artificial Intelligence, and Signal Processing.

Core courses include: Engineering Mathematics, Logic Circuits, Computer Programming, Java Programming and Applications, Data Structures and Algorithms, Microcomputer Systems, Signals and Systems, Optimization Methods for Engineering, Operating Systems, Database Systems, Data Communications and Networking, Internet Technology, Principles of Communications, Product Design, and Project.

In the final year, students may specialize in different areas of interest in preparation for their future careers and enjoy considerable flexibility through the selection of elective courses on topics such as advanced networking technologies, cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and cybersecurity.
