Foreword

This Handbook contains detailed information on the undergraduate programmes offered by the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering.

For students admitted under the 4-year curriculum in 2012-2013, the Department offers three BEng degree programmes, namely Computer Engineering, Electronic Engineering, and Electrical Engineering.

While these programmes share a common foundation in electrical and electronic engineering and require students to study some common core courses in the first year, each programme has its own characteristics focusing on different areas of study. Depending on the specific programme, students will be offered, after their common first semester/year of study, choices of elective courses covering 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.

Moreover, BEng students can opt for the minor or double-degree programmes which provide valuable opportunities for students with interests beyond engineering to extend their university education to business studies, science, social science or arts. All these optional modes of studies reflect a trend towards a more general and multi-disciplinary approach to engineering education with plenty of scope to cater for the development of personal aspirations and the attainment of individual goals.

The mission of the Department is to produce the highest quality graduates to serve the society as well as to conduct leading edge research. The Department is committed to equipping students with problem solving skills and life-long learning capabilities to meet challenges of everyday life, and assisting them in the pursuit of excellence in both their studies and as good citizens.

4. Laboratory and Tutorial Classes

Ê 4.1 Laboratory Guidelines

Laboratory work forms an important and integral part of our B.Eng degree courses. During these scheduled sessions, you will be asked to conduct experiments and investigation closely related to the courses of that year. Instruction sheets will be given in advance and demonstrators (postgraduate students) will be present during the sessions to advise and assist students who may have difficulties. Member(s) of staff may also be present to supervise the laboratory and answer questions.

You are expected to observe the rules and regulations while staying in the laboratory, especially the safety aspects of handling electrical equipment. Demonstrators and members of staff are responsible to reinforce these rules and regulations. Any students appear to act in conflict with these rules and regulations may not be allowed to use the laboratory.

Ê 4.2 Log Books & Reports

A student’s laboratory work is assessed by the log book(s) he/she keeps and the full laboratory reports submitted at a published set of dates. Therefore, it is vital for you to keep a complete record of the experiments performed in your log book(s), as well as giving a detail account of the experiment in a report. Report copying, once discovered, could result in serious penalty.

Students who fail their laboratory assessment of a particular course will fail that course automatically, irrespective of how they performed in the written examination.

Ê 4.3 Tutorial Classes

Tutorial classes are also organized throughout the year at appropriate times for you to raise questions related to their courses. Tutorial problem sheets may be handed out by the course teachers, and you may be asked to hand in written solutions as part of their course assessment. Although scheduled in the time-table, the exact dates for these classes will be announced by individual teachers.

5. Workshop/Industrial Training and Integrated Study-Work Programmes

Ê 5.1 Workshop Training Programme

The Department offers a compulsory Workshop Training Programme (ELEC2840 Engineering Training) during the summer vacation to all our undergraduate students of all four disciplines who have completed their second year. This programme is designed to satisfy the membership requirements of the Hong Kong Institution of Engineers and Engineering Council (United Kingdom). It aims to expose our students to up-to-date and sophisticated equipments and technologies used in industry currently, and to provide hands-on skills and experience in the processes of design, implementation and testing of electrical, electronic and computer engineering systems.

Ê 5.2 Industrial Training Programme

There is a compulsory Industrial Training Programme during the summer vacation for all our undergraduate students who have completed their third (ELEC3840 Internship) year of study. This 6-week (minimal) placement with industrial companies or research institutes is designed for our students to learn how the engineering and technology industries operate. Emphasis is placed on the problem solving and research of engineering projects. Students will also be exposed to other related technical and/or managerial activities. Students are allowed to conduct the industrial training in Mainland or overseas for gaining more international exposure.

Ê 5.3 Integrated Study-Work Programme

In addition to the above two programmes, students may elect to join an optional Integrated Study-Work Programme at the end of their third year. The essence of this programme is to enable students to enter employment in a relevant discipline for a year before they begin their final year course. This study work concept enables the student to develop a more mature and practical outlook towards his job and profession with benefit to both the students and to the industry. Normally, the programme must be approved by the Head of Department in advance. Students who join this programme will be assigned to a supervisor at the company and an academic supervisor from the department. Their role is to provide advice and support during that year. If you are interested in the above programme, you should either talk to your non-academic tutor, course director or the Industrial Training Manager.

6. Communication/Information Channels

Ê 6.1 Non-Academic Tutors/Class Tutors

Each new student will be assigned to an academic staff acting as his/her “non-academic” tutor when he/she first arrives. The attachment spans through the 3 years degree course and it is hoped that students will meet their tutors regularly. The role of a non-academic tutor is to provide guidance to students in the non-academic areas of their university lives. The frequency of meetings is flexible and can be arranged between the student and his/her tutor.

Apart from the non-academic tutors, there are also class tutors for students of each curriculum and of each year. His/her role is to offer advice on students’ studies and other academic matters.

The class tutors’ names are printed under the “Useful Numbers” section of this handbook.

Ê 6.2 Staff-Student Consultative Committee

The role of the Staff-Student Consultative Committee (SSCC) is to enable class representatives and class tutors to meet face to face to discuss matters raised by students or teachers. In the past, the SSCC met on an average of two times a year to discuss matters such as problems and difficulties encountered in lectures, laboratory classes, teaching assistants, reporting scheme, computer utilization, departmental accommodation, and many other similar issues. The atmosphere during the SSCC is often 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

Ê 6.3 E-mail, Intranet, Notice Board & Others

Throughout the academic year, there are a lot of messages and information which the department or individual teachers would like to channel to you through email, departmental intranet and notices. It is therefore your responsibility to read email, departmental intranet and notices on the Department Notice board.

You should also elect among yourselves one or two Class Representative(s) who are responsible, when necessary, for channeling departmental notices, distributing notes and handouts, collecting opinion and feedback from students and attending to other student matters. They will also be invited to attend the Staff-Student Consultative Committee Meetings of the department.

Ê 6.4 Reference Books

Individual teachers may recommend references and/or textbooks at the beginning of the semester for their courses. You are encouraged to use the University Main Library facilities when you need to search for references.

7. Professional Institutions

Ê 7.1 Hong Kong Institution of Engineers (HKIE)

The Hong Kong Institution of Engineers is the professional engineering learned society and qualifying body for Hong Kong and as such has a responsibility of setting and maintaining the professional and technical standards of its members. To this end, it evaluates the qualifications for admission to grades of Institution membership.

The Corporate Membership status (M.H.K.I.E./F.H.K.I.E.) of the HKIE is recognized by the Hong Kong Government. Since our B.Eng. programmes are accredited by the HKIE, our graduates are recognized by the HKIE as having satisfied the academic part of the Corporate Membership (M.H.K.I.E./F.H.K.I.E.) qualification. The qualification matters are the responsibility of the Qualification and Membership Board of the Institution. All the engineering disciplines including the Electrical Discipline and the Electronic Discipline are represented by their respective Discipline Representatives as members of this Board. The learned society functions are organized by the elected committees of various Divisions which HKIE members are entitled to join according to their own interests. Our students may find the following Divisions, among others, to be of interest: (a) Electrical, (b) Electronics, (c) Control, Automation & Instrumentation, (d) Biomedical, (e) Environment, (f) Information Technology, and (g) Building Services. The HKIE monthly journal, the Asia Engineer, is circulated free to all its members. The HKIE offers one year free membership for the Freshman.

The HKIE takes very seriously its responsibilities with regard to the Washington Accord and to fostering, maintaining and developing bilateral and international agreements for the mutual recognition of qualifications. This is undertaken through links with a number of international engineering initiatives which have been established to hormonise qualifications and to recognize accreditation methods and standards; the Washington Accord, Federation of Engineering Institutions of South East Asia and Pacific (FEISEAP) and European Federation of National Engineering Associations (FEANI) are examples.

Ê 7.2 Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET)
