Through this CityU EE Joint Lab Scheme, the University-Industry collaboration is strengthened. COO of Sengital, Mr Joe Wong, indicated in the ceremony “We sponsored one ITF project of CityU EE faculty member last year and committed to 2 more sponsorship for ITF projects this year. On the other hand, to incubate young talents, we reserved budget of HKD1M this year for CityU EE students to support 6 one-year placement positions including their final year projects!” 

CityU EE Joint Lab is a “Government-Industry-Academic-Research Centre” scheme for collaboration between EE Department and industrial associations, research centres, corporates and organizations, aims to empower recruitment, research collaboration, commercialisation, and technology transfer

Support to Year-1 students from various parties on adapting to the university life is very important, may they be academic advisors, student mentors, peers or family members. Dialogue with Parents hosted by Prof Henry Chung was held on 5 September 2020 over Zoom to let parents of Year-1 students know better about the university life, teaching and learning at EE Department and its support to students, as well as the career prospect. Two graduates, Mr Michael Leung (2014 ECE graduate) and Mr Ben Huang (2016 CE graduate) also joined on the day to share their learning experiences in EE and their career development to parents. We do hope that these information would facilitate parents to walk through the university journey with their children.

On every Saturday between August 1st and August 22nd, three 6-hour online parallel classes were conducted. Three different kinds of STEM modules were designed to guide participants to go through an eye-opening learning journey through a series of lectures and hands-on activities on microprocessor-controlled systems, AI and Machine Learning, and cloud computing. They were conducted by Professor Henry Chung, Dr Ray Cheung, and Mr. Van Ting. This meaningful event successfully attracted 123 students from 29 secondary schools. All students found the programme useful, interactive, interesting, and enjoyable.

A closing ceremony was held on August 29th afternoon. Our Head of Department, Professor Stella Pang presented certificates to the winners of the competitions. There were also sharing of the contents of the modules by student facilitators; and winners and school principals shared their learning experience and feelings about the programme. Thanks to our sponsors Winstars Enterprise HK Limited and Hong Kong Productivity Council for their generous support.

A total of 123 S4-S5 students from 29 secondary schools participated the programme.

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!

The talk was very inspiring and received a record high registration with over 330 Form 1 to Form 6 secondary students participated in this event. The basic principles of IC design, CPU Design, and the importance of solid foundation in Mathematics and Science education in high school were taught in the talk.

This is the second talk from our EE department, about CPU Design in Smart Phone.

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:

It was transformed into virtual workshops this year due to the outbreak of COVID-19. The workshops held on 27 July 2020 attracted about 30 students from top universities in mainland China joining us. Apart from the introduction of the Department and the PhD programme, twelve 15-min research seminars presented by EE professors were arranged, covering topics in the area of Applied Electromagnetics, Optoelectronics, Electronics, Power, Nanotechnology, Biosystems, Networking, Wireless Communications, Computer Engineering and Control Systems. The discussion and exchange over the Zoom platform was lively. We look forward to having face-to-face exchange with these students at CityU when they join our PhD programme next year.

The following faculty participating in the workshop :

Dr Leanne Chan, Dr Nelson Chan, Dr W S Chan, Dr Ray Cheung, Dr Young Jin Chun, Prof Lin Dai, Dr Joshua Lee, Dr Ehsan Nekouei, Dr Yanni Sun, Dr Chaoliang Tan, Dr Cheng Wang, Dr Alex Wong, Prof Hong Yan

Close to 220 F.6 students who were serious in their final choice of studies joined the event, which comprised an inspirational talk in EE discipline, a programme information session about JS1205 and the bloom of EE sector in the recent job market, student sharing on their university life and different enriching learning opportunities. The event ended with a breakout group interviews with the faculty. In the hours of event, the participants showed to us their enthusiasm in EE studies and how they are impressed by the prevailing technologies and their applications in all areas of life.

Another Student Recruitment Session was held a week after with a smaller student group for a more in-depth exchange and sharing. The Head of EE Department Prof Stella Pang kick-started the session by exposing to the students the endless opportunities and prospects in different technological fields. What followed were a sharing session by our graduate, and conversations with the admission team.

Best wishes to all the F.6 students in their DSE results and future studies!
