It was so exciting and happy that over 300 students and professors met and greeted on the days. Apart from different informative sessions to let students know more about the Department, the majors or programmes related matters, student learning support and graduate career outlook, lunch gatherings were arranged for students to meet and chat with all our professors. What a nice start! May the youngsters flourish and enjoy studying EE.

The Department partnered with four overseas universities for the Summer Exchange Programme this year. They offered EE-related courses along with company visits, local field trips and cultural activities for our 50 EE students. In parallel, we ran our on-campus-residential summer programme during 5 July 2019 – 10 August 2019 to receive 57 overseas students of our exchange partners. Themed “Remote Controlled Land Hovercraft”, the training was conducted on combined lecture-laboratory basis.

The events attracted over 40 undergraduate students.

The topic is “The Road from Engineering Students to Serial Entrepreneur”.

Soft skill is one of the crucial attributes for success in career. In the seminar, Dr Lam shared with students the different skills that add value to a university student, the considerations for the choice of further studies or starting a company, how to transfer a research project idea into a final product, and his own journey from engineering start-up to a successful entrepreneur.

This two-round competition involved three main topics which were Probability, Calculus (MA120X) and Linear Algebra (MA2001), and around 40 EE students participated in it.

In this competition, participants not only fully applied the knowledge they had learned in class, but also actively engaged themselves in it and had lots of fun. It is believed that the next competition would be even more exciting and challenging.

Congratulations to the final 10 winners of Math Wiz of the following EE students:

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.

EE Student Induction (Undergraduate and Postgraduate) was held on 26 to 28 August 2020 and 11 September 2020 to extend our big welcome to the new members and allow the students to have a better idea of this new family; the available resources and learning support in EE; professional development of EE graduates; and programme information and details. Some 350 students and faculty enjoyed the interactive “get-together” before the start of school. Big welcome again and may we wish you all an exciting and fulfilling journey with EE!
