EE Soft Skills Seminar – “Graduate School Application in the US and HK”

The valuable key takeaways covered by Dr. Chan and Dr. Wang included whether students should go for graduate school and their expectations, pros and cons of graduate schools in the US and HK, criteria for a successful application to US graduate schools and to HKPFS and the current global situation changes the prospects of graduate school applications. Around 20 students joined the seminar and found the information very valuable.

Power Your Future Workshop

The workshop began with a short talk by Prof. Henry Chung on his research and local industry. This was then followed by practical work to improve student’s practical skills. Students were given two projects to build that were both practical and useful. Most students managed to build both the wind and solar power generator which they were allowed to take home. This was supplemented with some basic theories to reinforce some basic understanding that students have learnt in previous courses. At the end, students were given a chance to say which would win, wind or solar.

ELEL Interest Group Workshop

This was done by reinforcing basic theory and allowing students to construct a wind power electricity generator, an audio power amplifier and a solar power electricity generator. Each student was able to take home one of their constructed projects as a useful souvenir. Students were encouraged to be creative by giving them an opportunity to think and present a grand idea based on the projects that they had built. This workshop also gave students an environment to get to know more of their classmates, something that had been missing with online classes.

EE Career Talk

Thanks to the participating companies, our students were informed a clear picture of the career opportunities, prospects and development in the respective companies and in the industry. Students were excited by the job opportunities and the challenges ahead.
