The Beng (Hons) Scheme in Electrical Engineering consists of the following degrees. It aims to give students the flexibility to decide on their final degree during their study.
Beng (Hons) in Electrical Engineering provides in-depth coverage of electrical engineering based on an outcome-based education philosophy. The programme produces 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 emphasises the need for mastery of fundamental principles and the application of 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.
BEng (Hons) in Transportation Systems Engineering aims to make full use of the hugely versatile applications of the in-demand disciplines of electrical engineering to broaden the career opportunities available to 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 current engineering knowledge into transportation systems to enhance the efficiency, reliability, safety, and maintainability of infrastructure and services. Exploring current practices in transportation and the latest technologies in transportation systems and integrating them to provide engineering solutions to practical problems form the core of the programme.
Career Prospects
BEng (Hons) in Electrical Engineering 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 MTR Corporation Limited. They are also employed by engineering consultancies, contractor companies, international engineering enterprises, electrical product manufacturers, and the Government of the HKSAR.
BEng (Hons) in Transportation Systems Engineering 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, Mainland China, and overseas.
