Programme Aims & Learning Outcomes
This programme provides in-depth coverage of electrical engineering according to an outcome-based education philosophy. The programme produce engineers who are able to practise their professions in a wide range of areas of electrical engineering, such as electrical power systems, energy conversion and utilisation, transportation systems, environmental protection, control, and computer and fibre-optic applications.
A modern electrical engineer should possess a broad-based education and the specialist knowledge needed to undertake high-level work in design, planning, supervision and manufacturing. The programme thus places emphasis on the mastery of fundamental principles and application of the latest engineering technology. Of equal importance is training in leadership, entrepreneurship, and communication skills.
We encourage lifelong learning to enable graduates to keep abreast of new developments in engineering and technology.
Programme Characteristics
This programme is a major electrical engineering degree programme in Hong Kong that provides unique and up-to-date education in the interesting field of electrical power and energy.
The curriculum is designed to give a balanced treatment of university core requirement, electrical engineering fundamentals, advanced and specialist topics, and non-technical subjects such as economics and management.
Engineering practice is an integrated component of the curriculum. Student learning is supplemented by a variety of laboratory, training and project activities. Students also develop good presentation and problem-solving skills through mini-projects and final-year projects. Students are required to take the Work-Integrated Education (WIE) component, which may be in the form of summer training or industrial attachment.
Students can also participate in exchange programmes and spend a semester at an overseas university. Every year, a number of students participate in exchange programmes with institutions including the Cardiff University, the National University of Singapore, the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, the Technical University of Munich and Czech Technical University.
Seminars, industry visits and overseas study tours are also organised to broaden students' horizons.
Professional Recognition
The programme has received full accreditation from the Hong Kong Institution of Engineers (HKIE).
Career Prospects
Our graduates have numerous employment opportunities in engineering planning and design, manufacturing, installation, maintenance and servicing, engineering sales and research.
Graduates are able to develop rewarding careers in major utility and transportation companies such as CLP Power Hong Kong Limited, the Hongkong Electric Company Limited and the MTR Corporation Limited. They are also employed by engineering consultant firms, contractor companies, international engineering enterprises, electrical product manufacturers and the Government of the HKSAR.

I chose to study in PolyU EE not only because of its excellent reputation for groundbreaking innovation, but also because the Department is dedicated to providing high-quality engineering education.
Through attending lectures, I enriched my knowledge of Electrical Engineering. From basic electronics to the power system, and from electric vehicles to fibre optics, I gained insights into various fields in my discipline. This not only broadened my horizon but also enabled me to take advantage of the latest technology and become better equipped for my future career. The teaching staff in PolyU EE are willing to share their precious knowledge and experience with students. They always welcome questions from students.
Various opportunities are offered to consolidate knowledge acquired during lectures and apply theories to solve real-life problems. I joined the Chengdu study tour in Year 3, which gave me rich exposure to new technologies, such as a high-speed railway. I also joined the MATE competition in 2018, which gave me the chance to link the knowledge I had acquired in lectures to real-life applications.
As a fresh graduate in Electrical Engineering, I wish to give my heartfelt thanks to my department for its efforts to nurture new talents in Electrical Engineering. WU Ka Kit |  |

The well-structured curriculum and professional technical training equipped me with the skills and knowledge I needed to start my engineering career. During my training, I gained hands-on experience in the well-equipped Industrial Centre at PolyU, including industrial safety training. The subjects offered by the Department of Electrical Engineering often include laboratory sessions, which familiarise students with the equipment and allow us to test out some theories. We were also encouraged by the University to join internship and exchange programmes. This allowed me to gain solid experience in addition to lectures.
It was an awesome journey at PolyU. You can find great friends and supportive faculty members there. The University values all-round development, and so provides students with leadership training and General Education courses. There is a unique programme called Service-Learning, which allowed me to apply my skills and knowledge to serve society. Studying Electrical Engineering at PolyU made me more competitive and valuable. It was a wonderful experience. WONG Sui Man |
I joined the Electrical Engineering programme mainly because I found various related career opportunities and paths in Hong Kong. In this programme, I have acquired fundamental knowledge and hands-on experience. Attending the technical seminars provided by the Department helps me keep pace with the latest developments in the global engineering industry. I am confident that I will become a successful and professional engineer in the future.
Apart from studying, students have opportunities to take part in various activities. I joined a study tour at South West Jiaotong University. During this trip, I made some new friends and encountered new ideas, culture, interests and experiences. This opened my eyes and changed my mindset, ultimately giving me a better understanding of engineering. WONG Chak Shing |  |
