The Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering (EEE) was established in late fifties as a major department in the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Hong Kong. Its graduates served the society since 1961 and have been making tremendous impact to the well being and development of Hong Kong in her infancy years. Over the years, power systems, electronic, computers and information processing have evolved at dazzling speed, and have permeated to every aspects of life and the society at large.

The EEE Department has naturally progressed with time and has grown from the relatively obscured location along Pokfulam Road to the current modern high rise of the Chow Yei Ching Building (map), with numerous satellite laboratories located as well at the Haking Wong Building, Yam Pak Building and Composite Building.

Nowadays, we offer 4 undergraduate degree programmes:

• Bachelor of Engineering (B.Eng.) degree in Electronic and Communications Engineering (EComE)
  (previously Electrical and Electronic Engineering)
• Bachelor of Engineering degree in Electrical Engineering (EE)
  (previously Electrical Energy Systems Engineering)
• Bachelor of Engineering degree in Information Engineering (InfoE)
• Bachelor of Engineering degree in Computer Engineering (CE)
  which is jointly offered with the Computer Science Department

All these degrees are accredited by the Hong Kong Institution of Engineers (HKIE).

Starting from 2004-2005, admissions to these programmes are via a single JUPAS code, BENG(CE/EComE/EE/InfoE) (6339). After being admitted, students are free to choose any one of the four programmes with no quota restriction. Each of the four programmes has the same admission requirement and the total number of intake is around 200 every year.

The department also offers :

• Master of Science degree in Electrical and Electronic Engineering

and jointly offers the

• Master of Science degree in Electronic Commerce and Internet Computing
• Master of Science degree in Building Services

with the other departments in the University.

Some of these programmes attracted the best of graduates from all over the region, and we believe they will continue to do so and produce the next generation of leaders for Hong Kong in the future.

The Department's research activities can be grouped into seven major areas:

• Computer Systems and Networking (CSN);
• Microelectronics, Optoelectronics and VLSI (MOV);
• Telecommunications (TC);
• Energy Systems and Electric Vehicles (ESEV);
• Biomedical Engineering (BE); and
• Information Systems (IS).
• Electromagnetics and Optics (EO).

Currently, we have about 40 academic staff positions and 30 support staff, serving over 400 undergraduates and 100 postgraduates. Our motto is to offer a fertile intellectual ground for our young students to freely develop their independent thinking and fully realize their leadership potentials, through quality innovative teaching methods, excellent research environment, very high standard of professional services to the society and an extensive alumni networks. We are proud to be able to mold our students into a valuable asset to the society and our students are proud to be in our big family.

There are over 40 well-equipped laboratories in the Department.
