Mentorship Programme Kick-off Tea Reception

This comes another great year to start with, our heartfelt thanks for all our mentors.  This year, we get another strong support from our partners IET (HK) and HEC and help recruiting mentors, both new and old, amounting up to 52!  Whereas we got 88 mentees registered this year!  This is really a good sign that reflects our students understand how mentorship programme functions. Same as previous years, we meet our mentors and mentees to kick off the mentorship programme.  A happy and enjoyable sharing in the afternoon of 18 November at Staff Club.  We really hope our mentees could be benefited tremendously with the devoted and sincere guidance and support from their mentors.

Final Year Project Orientation 2017

We are delighted to meet our co-supervisors, supervisors and students again before the commencement of the Final Year Project for 2017/18 academic year.  To bring in more industrial expertise to broaden our students’ exposure in implementing their final year projects, we again secure strong support from industry with 15 final year projects having co-supervision as well projects proposed by the industry direct.    The Department held the Orientation on 15 September 2017 at our newly renovated Undergraduate Teaching Lab.  This gathering provides an excellent platform for our industrial supervisors to meet their students but also to learn more FYP operation.
