All EE Events

Dr Yanni Sun, EE Outstanding Teaching Awardee in 2020/21, was invited to share her teaching experiences and tips for preparing a lecture. Two senior PhD students with good TA performance also joined on the day to share with peers the good practices for carrying out TA duties and hands-on experiences on using CANVAS for grading.

Dr Tang attracted some 70 colleagues to give him a warm send-off through Zoom and on site. We had sincerest sharing and best wishes from friends, making the event a memorable and special one.

Our best wishes to Dr Tang for his new page of life and enjoy!

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.

Video by Dr. WANG Cheng is available.

The gathering was fruitful with many constructive exchanges and EE looks forward to more events and initiatives to foster university-industry collaboration and bridge our students and faculty with industry friends!

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.

This was certainly an eye-opening experience for the members of CityU UR team which allowed them to showcase the team’s recent development as well as to interact with resourceful personalities from different industries. Their tireless effort contributed to the success of the event. Visitors enjoyed the esports-like underwater football show match and shown strong interests to explore engineering knowledge and support the new generation to know more about EE.

SIPS is a joint campaign organized by government bureaux/departments and other organisations to promote their scientific work and application of technology to the provision of services for the general public. Dr Cheung’s talk, which attracted around 200 audiences attended, focused on the science and engineering foundational knowledge for computing, as well as the recent blooming of artificial intelligence (AI) around the world. The recent technological advancement in processor architecture, industrial AI processor designs, and upcoming technology trends are also covered in this public science lecture.

Thanks to the active participation of EE staff and students, the wonderful singing competition allowed the EE community to taste the different versions of CityU Anthem “Beyond Boundaries”. The quiz game also let us to know more the recent development of CityU and EE. The singing performance by EE professors and students with the companion of play of guitar led to the climax of the night. The joyful night was rounded up with the fabulous lucky draw.

The Fun Day inspired the students by introducing the movie “The Boy Who Harnessed The Wind”, the young Malawian genius who built a windmill entirely via DIY methods and saved his family and village from drought and famine. It also provided high-school students hands on experience, with teaching of simple wind power generator and building up their own wind power generator in a competition. Two current EE students, Mr. Kenny Chan (Year 1) and Mr. Charles Chan (Year 3 ECE), shared their learning experiences in EE. During the Fun Day, the teachers and principals were treated to a Laboratory Tour featuring the teaching facilities and projects within CityU-EE. We concluded with an Q&A among high-school students, EE undergraduate students and EE professors. All the participants found the Fun Day fruitful and increased their interests in CityU EE.
