Electrical & Electronic Engineering4. Laboratory and Tutorial Classes4. Laboratory and Tutorial Classes

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.

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.

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 Programmes5. Workshop/Industrial Training and Integrated Study-Work Programmes

5.1 Workshop Training Programme

The Department offers a compulsory Workshop Training Programme during the summer vacation to

all our undergraduate students of all four disciplines who have completed their first year. This

programme is designed to satisfy the HKIE and EC(UK) membership requirements, and is organized

by the University Technology Support Centre in conjunction with the Vocational Training Council. It aims

to expose our students to up-to-date and sophisticated equipment 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.

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 2nd year of study. This 6-week (minimal)

placement with industrial companies is designed for our students to learn how today’s EEE/

EComE, InfoE, EESE and CE companies operate. Emphasis is placed on the problem solving of

engineering projects. Students will also be exposed to other related technical and/or managerial

activities.

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 second 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 Hong Kong 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 or course director.Tr

Electrical & Electronic Engineering6. Communication/Information Channels6. Communication/Information Channels

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.

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

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.

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.

Electrical & Electronic Engineering7. Professional Institutions7. Professional Institutions

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.
