All EE Events

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.

For the 60 summer camp participants, who have travelled hundred or even thousand miles from home to come to City University of Hong Kong and spent 5 weeks here, mingled with some local students of Department of Electronic Engineering, to learn about mini robotic building and motion control programming as well as to feel the vibrancy of this international metropolis, where blends western and eastern cultures, the hardest thing is to say goodbye, no matter in which language, in its closing ceremony held on 31 July 2017.

To all of them it was a first-time experience to have a taste of robotic controls involving line tracking and object avoidance. The workshop was a good opportunity for undergraduates-to-be to have some hands-on experience of both hardware and software applications prior to their entry to university.

Thanks Dr Rhoda Yuen, Senior Counselling Psychologist, for introducing an effective communication mean called “Active Constructive Responding (ACR) Skills”, as well as Ms Mary Cheung, Managing Director and Founder of Mary Cheung & Associates (International) Limited, for demonstrating the “International Social Manner” by using many vivid real life examples. 

A total of 23 projects entered semi-final of the competition which was a poster session. Six of them were immediately selected after the semi-final to compete in the final round held on the same day. Both semi-finalists and finalists were such professional and well-prepared to present their novel and innovative ideas in their project works to the judging panels and audiences.

The talk was facilitated by Dr Ray Cheung, EE Associate Professor.

Students grabbed every opportunity to introduce their research works to participants during the poster presentation session. This exchange platform also facilitated students to broaden their cross-disciplinary knowledge.

Break-out sessions were also arranged to let our students know more in-depth about the companies and the jobs, as well as facilitating the on-site applications.
