“Nowadays soft skills of engineers is considered much more important than ever, which is a feedback we receive constantly from the industry,” Prof Pang explained the purpose of launching this series.
The gatherings were very constructive in a way that good exchanges on university-industry collaborative proposals were carried out for a number of career-related and student projects namely Design Projects, Industrial Placement Scheme, Final Year Projects, 1-year Internship Program and Career Coaching.
Professors and student ambassadors of EE Department were so happy to meet thousands of prospective students and parents and share with them the learning opportunity and environment at CityU-EE. Exhibition booth, informative programme talks and interesting laboratory tours were arranged where visitors not only understood better our majors and the career prospect, but also were amazed and impressed by the innovative projects and products developed by our professors and students.
The 5-day programme was intensive and constructive. The charisma of Prof Boyd attracted six departments – Departments of Electronic Engineering (EE), Computer Science (CS), Mathematics (MA), Mechanical and Biomedical Engineering (MBE), Management Sciences (MS), and Systems Engineering and Engineering Management (SEEM) -- to get together to explore high impact interdisciplinary research and education opportunities.
