Programme Aims



The BEng (Hons) Scheme in Electrical Engineering consists of the following degrees. It aims to give students the flexibility to decide on the final degree in their study.



  • BEng (Hons) in Electrical Engineering provides in-depth coverage of electrical engineering based on an outcome-based education philosophy. The programme produces engineers who are able to practise their professions in a wide range of areas of electrical engineering, such as electrical power systems, energy conversion and utilisation, transportation systems, environmental protection, control, and computer and fibre-optic applications.


A modern electrical engineer should possess a broad-based education and the specialist knowledge needed to undertake high-level work in design, planning, supervision and manufacturing. The programme thus emphasises the mastery of both fundamental principles and the application of the latest engineering technology. Of equal importance is training in leadership, entrepreneurship and communication skills.  


We encourage lifelong learning so that graduates can keep abreast of new developments in engineering and technology.



  • BEng (Hons) in Transportation Systems Engineering aims to make full use of the hugely versatile applications of the in-demand disciplines of electrical engineering to broaden the career opportunities available to our graduates. Students are expected to acquire a solid understanding of the fundamentals of electrical engineering and to apply the knowledge gained and techniques learned to relevant areas in the field of transportation systems.


The programme philosophy focuses on the incorporation of up-to-date engineering knowledge into transportation systems to enhance the efficiency, reliability, safety and maintainability of infrastructure and services. Current practices in transportation, the latest technologies in transportation systems and their integration to provide engineering solutions to practical problems form the core of the programme.


 

Programme Characteristics


  • BEng (Hons) in Electrical Engineering is one of the premier electrical engineering degree programmes in Hong Kong that provides unique and up-to-date education in electrical power and energy. The curriculum is designed to give a balanced treatment of university core requirements, electrical engineering fundamentals, advanced and specialist topics, and non-technical subjects such as management. 
  • BEng (Hons) in Transportation Systems Engineering is unique in Hong Kong, providing students with interdisciplinary knowledge and perspectives in modern transportation systems and a direct career path into the high-growth transportation industry and related sectors.

 

Engineering practice is an integrated component of the curriculum. Student learning is supplemented by a variety of laboratory, training and project activities. Students also develop good presentation and problem-solving skills through mini-projects and final-year projects. Students are required to take the Work-Integrated Education (WIE) component, which may be in the form of summer training or industrial attachment.


 

Students can also participate in exchange programme and spend a semester at an overseas university. Every year, a number of students participate in exchange programmes with institutions such as Cardiff University, National University of Singapore, KTH Royal Institute of Technology, University of Wisconsin-Madison and North Carolina State University. The exchange programme offers excellent opportunities for students to study abroad, broaden their horizons and develop an appreciation of the cultures of other countries.

 


Engineering and Entrepreneurship Club (E&E Club) provides a platform to enhance students’ interests in engineering and understanding of entrepreneurship. E&E Club organises workshops to train students’ technical skills and invites experts to share about the requirements of entrepreneurship with students. It further supports students participating in both local and overseas underwater robot competitions.



Seminars, industry visits and overseas study tours are also organised to broaden students’ horizons.
