Top of pagePurpose of the Program
The purpose of this program is to:
- provide learning experiences that provide you, as a graduate of this program, with the knowledge and skills essential for a professional career in electrical engineering,
- prepare you, on graduation from this program, to be ready to take up employment in electrical engineering, power generation and distribution and related industries. The related industries include the aerospace, automotive, manufacturing, electronics, computing, resources, defence, and primary industries.
You will undertake a capstone experience in the final year courses OENG1170 Engineering Capstone Project A and OENG1172 Engineering Capstone Project B, in which you will conduct an independent research project that can be analytical, experimental, design or computational in nature (or some combination).
This program is primarily delivered in face-to-face mode. While most courses in the program are delivered on campus at VTC SHAPE in Hong Kong, others use a blended mode combining face-to-face and online delivery.
