Large Group Project Competition completed on 14 Nov

Electrical generator is one of the most important devices in electrical engineering.  Ninety-five students studying Circuit Analysis was divided into 12 Groups forming large group.  They designed three-phase permanent magnet generator from scratch in 8 weeks.  On 14 November, an exciting afternoon of competition finished with Group3 generating output power of 278 mW winning the First Prize, Group7 generating output power of 228 mW winning the Second Prize, and Group2 generating output power of 147 mW winning the Third Prize.

Freshmen Gathering

A warm welcome to our new students! To help our new students get familiar and connect with the Department, a Freshmen Gathering was held on 25 October 2018. In the gathering, Professor Tam Hwa-yaw, the Head of Department, and our academic staff introduced the Department and other useful information about their study to our new students. We hope that all our new students will have a fruitful and enjoyable learning experience at PolyU!

HK Electric - Cable Tunnel Visit

We have 30 numbers of staff and EE students participated in the Cable Tunnel Visit organized by Hongkong Electric.  This tunnel is located at Wah Fu – Bowen Cable Tunnel.  All participants are required to walk uphill for about 15 minutes from Lily Garden in Pokfulam Road.

Final Year Project Tea Reception 2018

We have continued support from our industrial partners in project supervision.  Same as previous years, we secured a number of co-supervisors from various industries including CLP, Hongkong Electric, Architectural Services Dept, AECOM, Dolphin Concepts and HK Observatory to assist our students in their final year projects. It is our honour to invite the Department’s Academic Advisor, Professor Vladimiro Miranda to witness the process.  In the Tea Reception, we also introduced not only the Underwater robot but also past projects like colour detection robot, Software system for Numerical Analysis and Smart Car to our co-supervisors. The Tea Reception was held on 21 September 2017 at our Undergraduate Teaching Lab. The industrial co-supervisors and the students had a very fruitful discussion, all had a great afternoon.
