This Handbook contains a summary of the undergraduate programmes in the

Department.

The Department admits students to our four degree programmes, namely Electronic

and Communications Engineering, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering and

Information Engineering, through common admission. By doing so, we allow students

the flexibility of selecting any one of the four programmes after admission. Along

with common code admission, we have designed the first year curricula so that the

four programmes share a set of common or equivalent courses in the first semester of

the first year. This not only speaks for the fact that the four programmes have a

common foundation in electrical and electronic engineering, but also reflects a trend

towards a more general approach in engineering education. Depending on the specific

programme, students will be offered, in the second and third years of studies, choices

of optional courses from a wide spectrum of topics encompassing computer systems,

microelectronics, opto-electronics, wireless communications, networking, multimedia

signal processing, information technology, energy conversion, power systems, control

systems, biomedical engineering and others. In 2005, we have introduced a minor

option. Students can choose to study for a minor programme in business, economics

or finance by taking additional courses. In the current year 2007, we are introducing

double-degree programmes leading to the award of BEng and BBA degrees. The minor

programmes and double-degree programmes provide valuable opportunities for

students with interests beyond engineering to extend their university education to

business studies.

The mission of the Department is to produce the highest quality of graduates to serve

the society, and to conduct leading edge research. Our educational philosophy is to

equip students with problem solving skills and life-long learning capabilities. The

Department is committed to assist students throughout their studies to learn and to

develop as whole persons.

The Department offers a during thesummer vacation to all our undergraduate students of all four disciplines who havecompleted their first year. This programme is designed to satisfy the HKIE and EC(UK)membership requirements, and is organized by theCentre in conjunction with the . It aims to expose ourstudents to up-to-date and sophisticated equipment used in industry currently, and toprovide hands-on skills and experience in the processes of design, implementation andtesting of electrical, electronic and computer engineering systems.

There is a during the summer vacation for

all our undergraduate students who have completed their 2 year of study. This two-month placement with industrial companies is designed for our students to learn howtoday's EEE/EComE, InfoE, EESE and CE companies operate. Emphasis is placed on theproblem solving of engineering projects. Students will also be exposed to other relatedtechnical and/or managerial activities.

In addition to the above two programmes, students may elect to join anat the end of their second year. The essence of this

programme is to enable students to enter employment in a relevant discipline for ayear before they begin their final year course. This study work concept enables thestudent to develop a more mature and practical outlook towards his job andprofession with benefit to both the students and to Hong Kong Industry. Normally,the programme must be approved by the Head of Department in advance. Studentswho join this programme will be assigned to a and an

from the department. Their role is to provide advice and supportduring that year. If you are interested in the above programme, you should either talkto your non-academic tutor or course director.

The role of the Staff-Student Consultative Committee (SSCC) is to enable classrepresentatives and class tutors to meet face to face to discuss matters raised bystudents or teachers. In the past, the SSCC met on an average of two times a year todiscuss matters such as problems and difficulties encountered in lectures, laboratoryclasses, teaching assistants, reporting scheme, computer utilization, departmentalaccommodation, and many other similar issues. The atmosphere during the SSCC isoften informal, positive and problem solving.

The meeting is usually organized by the Administrative Assistant of the department,and the Chairman is Dr. N.H.C. Yung.
