On 7 January 2025, around 30 participants joined the CityUHK-EE x MathWorks Joint Lab event titled "Artificial Intelligence for Signal Processing Applications Seminar” by Yueyi Xu and Nikita Pinto.

City University of Hong Kong (CityU) - Department of Electrical Engineering (EE) established the CityU Electrical Joint Laboratory with six well-known technology enterprises, including Avnet, Mathworks, MED Imaging AI, NTT, RICOH and Xiaomi on October 17, 2024, to jointly promote scientific research and knowledge technology transfer, and cultivate global technology talents. Over 60 participants joined onsite and online for this event.

We were so happy to see that visitors were amazed and impressed by the innovative projects developed by our professors and students.

Four sessions of admission interviews and the programme information sessions were arranged for prospective local non-JUPAS (direct) applicants by the Department of Electrical Engineering. The early round admissions interview has been conducted in early January 2024 and the main round from March to July 2024. About 255 students mainly from UOW College Hong Kong, HKU Space Community College, PolyU HK Community College, and the Vocational Training Council (Wong Haking & Shatin campuses) participated.

The event commenced with an inspirational talk and programme information session by Prof. Ray Cheung and Prof. Katie Chan. They provided an overview of our programme, highlighting the successes of our EE graduates and the growth of the EE sector in the recent job market. Subsequently, the students were divided into groups. They were given a demonstration of robots by our RoboCon team, and a showcase of graduation project and personal experience by our graduates who have launched their own start-up company. Parallel sessions of group interviews were also arranged. 

The presentation of EE Annual Awards was conducted on the same occasion to celebrate the achievements of outstanding EE alumni and recognize individuals who have made significant contributions to the Department. The big day ended joyfully with group photo-taking among graduates and EE professors.

The judging team for FYP competition this year was composed of our Adjunct Professor from industry and five faculty judges.
