The 3-day program was so packed but remarkably meaningful – the DAAs met with different parties that included EE management team, teaching and research team, new hires, students of all levels; and visited department’s state-of-the-art facilities in the lab area; for coming up with a wrap-up that concluded the visit with commendations of the department’s efforts, recommendations for department to sustain our leadership in the field, and constructive exchanges of good practices between different universities.

Dr Corrigan has been teaching at CityU since 1994 and works largely on faculty development at CityU.

F.6 students who were serious in their final choice of studies joined the Programme Information Session for JUPAS Applicants on 26 June which comprised an interactive Technology Play acted by 3 EE students showcasing the latest student-faculty innovative projects, a talk on “Programme and Career Opportunities” introducing our programme and the bloom of EE sector in the recent job market, and parallel sessions of conversations with EE professors at the end to wrap up the day.

Their talks coupled with highlights of guidelines on teaching by Prof Stella Pang (Head of Department) were all inspiring to faculty members on getting start their teaching in a new academic year.

This seminar highlighted the studies in 4H-SiC of defects (qubits), integrated within photonic amplifiers. There was lively discussion after the presentation fostering in-depth exchanges among faculty, researchers and students. She also met with our new faculty and joined the science and engineering female faculty meeting to share her insights and visions with us.

This seminar aimed at exploring trade war and its relationship to IP protection as well as providing legal advice to protect important research and business information. During the visit, she also joined the science and engineering female faculty meeting. Her sharing at the seminar and the meeting stimulated vibrant discussion among faculty, researchers and students.

CityU EE Joint Lab is a “Government-Industry-Academic-Research Centre” scheme for collaboration between EE Department and industrial associations, research centres, corporates and organisations. This scheme includes physical lab logo wall setup in the EE Department; an online platform linked up with the EE Department website to share the progress of collaboration and projects; a series of regular networking events for industrialists, faculty members, and students, etc.. The Joint Lab aims to empower recruitment, research collaboration, commercialisation, and technology transfer.

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!
