( (i.i~~:i'!'i.i~~.i ~This Handbook contains a summary of the undergraduate programmes in the Department.

Starting in 2004, the Department admits students to our four degree programmes, namelyElectronic and Communications Engineering, Computer Engineering, ElectricalEngineering and Information Engineering, through common admission. By doing so, weallow students the flexibility 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 a commonfoundation in electrical and electronic engineering, but also reflects a trend towards amore 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 signalprocessing, information technology, energy conversion, power systems, control systems,biomedical engineering and many others. In 2005, we have further introduced a minoroption. Students can now choose to study for a minor programme in business, economicsor finance by taking additional courses. These minor programmes provide valuable

opportunities for students who have interests beyond engineering to enhance theiruniversity education.

The mission of the Department is to produce the highest quality of graduates to serve thesociety, and to conduct leading edge research. Our educational philosophy is to equipstudents with problem solving skills and life-long learning capabilities. The Department iscommitted to assist students throughout their studies to learn and to develop as wholepersons.

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 investigationheavily related to the courses of that year. Instruction sheets will be given in advance anddemonstrators (postgraduate students) will be present during the sessions to advise andassist students who may have difficulties. Member(s) of staff may also be present tosupervise 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 membersof staff are responsible to reinforce these rules and regulations. Any students appear to actin conflct 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) helshe keeps and the fulllaboratory reports submitted at a published set of dates. Therefore, it is vital for you to keepa complete record of the experiments performed in your log book(s), as well as giving adetail account of the experiment in a report. Report copying, once discovered, will attractheavy penalty.

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