This Handbook contains a summary of the undergraduate programmes in theDepartment.

Starting in 2004, the Department admits students to our four degree programmes,namely Electronic and Communications Engineering, Computer Engineering, ElectricalEngineering and Information Engineering, through common admission. By doing so, weallow students the flexibilty of selecting anyone of the four programmes after admission.Along with this change, we have revised the first year curricula so that the fourprogrammes now share a set of common or equivalent courses in the first semester ofthe first year. This not only speaks for the fact that the four programmes have acomrTon foundation in electrical and electronic engineering, but also reflects a trendtowards a more general approach in engineering education. Depending on the specificprogramme, students will be offered, in the second and third years of studies, choices ofoptional courses from a wide spectrum of topics encompassing computer systems,microelectronics, opto-electronics, wireless communications, networking, multimediasignal processing, information technology, energy conversion, power systems, controlsystems, biomedical engineering and many others. In 2005, we have further introduced aminor option. Students can now choose to study for a minor programme in business,economics or finance by taking additional courses. These minor programmes providevaluable opportunities for students who have interests beyond engineering to enhancetheir university education.

The mission of the Department is to produce the highest quality of graduates to servethe society, and to conduct leading edge research. Our educational philosophy is toequip students with problem solving skills and life-long learning capabilities. TheDepartment is committed to assist students throughout their studies to learn and todevelop as whole persons.

) 'Il-4.1 Laboratory Guidelines

Laboratory work forms an important and integral part of our B.Eng degree courses. Duringthese scheduled sessions, you will be asked to conduct experiments and investigation heavilyrelated to the courses of that year. Instruction sheets will be given in advance anddemonstrators (postgraduate students) will be present during the sessions to advise and assiststudents who may have difficulties. Member(s) of staff may also be present to supervise thelaboratory 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 ofstaff are responsible to reinforce these rules and regulations. Any students appear to act inconflct 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 laboratoryreports submitted at a published set of dates. Therefore, it is vital for you to keep a completerecord of the experiments performed in your log book(s), as well as giving a detail account ofthe experiment in a report. Report copying, once discovered, wil attract heavy penalty.

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