When I started learning Physics in high school, I was extremely fascinated by how a current-carrying conductor in a magnetic field produces a force. Then, I realized I should choose Electrical Engineering as my major and this field could potentially become my lifelong career. The Programme helps engineers to build better and more efficient electric motors, generators, electric vehicles, power grids, and even your daily electrical appliances.

During my study at PolyU, the Programme introduced fundamental theories with daily practical examples by industry-leading professors with outstanding academic backgrounds in EE Department. They ensure students have the best learning experience and encourage students to come forward and discuss confusing topics with them. And most importantly, PolyU has the best industry alumni network among the eight UGC-funded universities.

If you are interested in how things work and have a passion in electromagnetism, electrical engineering is a great programme to help you develop and discover far beyond your imagination.  

I have always been interested in using technology to create practical solutions for the benefit of society. After HKDSE, I also discovered that I have capabilities and interests in Physics and Mathematics. Thereby, I choose Electrical Engineering as my university programme so as to pursue my dream.

During my studies, I learned various topics related to the design and analysis of electrical systems with detailed introductions and explanations in lectures and lab sessions. Additionally, there are subjects teaching us with hands-on learning and practical training related to Electrical Engineering, such as lighting and electrical system design.

My final year project, “Intelligent Shopping Cart and creating an AI system for bus anomaly detection”, was the most memorable moment of my university life. At beginning of the projects, I had minimal knowledge of hardware control and coding. Nevertheless, with the support of experienced engineers and professors, coupled with my self-learning and perseverance, I am proud that I completed the projects finally. I am confident that my education at PolyU has equipped me for a successful career in the field of Electrical Engineering. 

Looking back on my 4 years of university life at PolyU, I would say that it was full of opportunities and freedom.

As an engineering student, joining the underwater robot competition must have been the highlight of my university life. At PolyU, we are free to join any engineering team and participate in competitions all over the world. It was an exciting experience to work together in a team for a goal! By joining this competition, I gained friendship, knowledge and experience.

The final year project was one of the most important subjects. This subject aimed to provide experience in engineering technology and improve our problem-solving techniques. I proposed to build a self-balancing single wheel vehicle in my final year project. It sounds crazy, but with the support of my teachers, I learned a lot and had fun when working on the project.

We are free to select various elective subjects. We can further study some electrical engineering topics to gain a more in-depth understanding or explore other engineering fields.

The opportunities and freedom offered by the Department gave me a fruitful university life!
