The actual number of credits required will be determined by the number of credits transferred based on AD/HD academic results.
The curriculum of this programme, including the credit requirements, is subject to review.
The exact study duration and number of credits to be transferred will depend on the entry qualification of individual AD/HD admittees.
Programme Aims and Learning Outcomes
This programme aims to make full use of the hugely versatile applications in the in-demand disciplines of electrical engineering to broaden the career opportunities of our graduates. Students are expected to acquire a solid understanding of the fundamentals of electrical engineering, and apply the knowledge gained and techniques learned to relevant areas in the field of transportation systems.
The programme philosophy focuses on the incorporation of up-to-date engineering knowledge into transportation systems to enhance the efficiency, reliability, safety and maintainability of infrastructure and services. Current practices in transportation, the latest technologies in transportation systems and their integration to provide engineering solutions to practical problems form the core of the programme.
Programme Characteristics
This programme is unique in Hong Kong, providing students with interdisciplinary knowledge and perspectives with a direct career path into the high-growth transportation industry and related sectors.
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.
Engineering and Entrepreneurship Club (E&E Club) provides a platform to enhance students’ interests in engineering and understanding of entrepreneurship. E&E Club organizes workshops to train students’ technical skills and invites experts to share requirements of entrepreneurship with students. It also supports students participating in both local and overseas underwater robot competitions.
Seminars, industrial visits and overseas study tours are also organized to broaden students' horizons.
Professional Recognition
The programme has been granted full accreditation by the Hong Kong Institution of Engineers (HKIE).
Career Prospects
Graduates are expected to receive attractive offers from various government departments, public and private transportation service providers, civil, electrical and transportation engineering consultancies, and construction companies. They are well equipped to work in Hong Kong, the Chinese mainland and overseas.
