 Electrical Engineering [for students admitted in Sept. 2006] |
| |
| |
 Definitions and Terminology: |
| |
| The Level of a course shall be 1, 2 or
3. Each course shall be assigned a Level.
All courses are grouped into the following 8 Subject Groups: |
| |
A. Electrical Energy
B. Signals, Communications & Systems
C. Circuits & Electronics
D. Computer Systems
E. Software & IT Applications
F. Mathematics
G. Complementary Studies
H. Others |
| |
| A Core course is a compulsory course which a candidate must pass in the manner provided for in the Regulations. A Breadth course is a level 1 or level 2 course which is offered in one of the subject groups as an optional course for the curriculum. A Depth course is a level 3 course offered in one of the subject groups as an optional course for the curriculum.
Complementary Studies shall include, in addition to those courses listed under group G, all broadening courses as defined by the University but not directly related to the subject area of the programme.
Subject Electives refer to any technical course offered by the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, provided that it does not overlap significantly with other courses that the student has already enrolled. Thus a Subject Elective course can be a technical course within or outside the list of courses in the Electrical Engineering subject groups below. Courses offered by other Departments will not be accepted as subject electives unless special prior approval from the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering has been obtained before enrolment. |
| |
| |

| |
| |
| Order of Study |
| |
|
Order of study is dictated by prerequisite and co-requisite requirements. Generally, level one courses should be taken before level two courses, level two courses should be taken before level 3 courses and core courses should be taken before breadth courses. Course electives in Complementary Studies can be taken in any order. |

| Minor Options |
| |
| (applicable to candidates admitted in the academic year 2005-2006 and thereafter)
Candidates are given an option to overload by no more than 6 credit-units in a semester to pursue a minor in a discipline outside their own degree curriculum, subject to the approval of the Head of Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering. For the descriptions of the courses under minor options, candidates should refer to the syllabuses of the relevant degree. The three minor options available are listed below: |
| |
a) Minor in Business
b) Minor in Economics
c) Minor in Finance
|
| |
| Courses in the selected minor can be taken as Complementary Studies courses in the degree curriculum if such courses are deemed to satisfy the complementary studies course requirement of the degree curriculum. |
