Emphases
Continuous professional development is essential to electronic engineers to open new doors and to excel at work. This is what we want to offer in our Master's Degree programme. Success means not only to drive your career forward, but as proven by our Founding Chairman, Professor Charles Kao, to win world accolade as a Nobel Laureate.
Today's electronic engineers face many new challenges. Many new applications require multi-disciplinary skill. More than just conventional electronics, one needs to understand optics, solar technology and nano devices etc. There is a paradigm shift in design considerations. Cost effectiveness and high performance are no longer the only concerns. Engineers are asked to grasp issues like green regulations and carbon emission factor, etc. Added to all this, there is a trend of moving from electrons to photons in order to maintain the accelerating speed in computing and communication. This is why we are offering a programme which is wide in coverage and allows students to choose freely according to their aspirations and interests.
Students will engage with our research laboratories, working with research postgraduate students on a specific engineering project under supervision of a faculty member.
Advanced Technology Courses
The programme includes advanced subjects in areas of technology and management in modern engineering, artificial intelligence, big data analytics, future IOT applications, renewable energy, smart materials, solid-state devices, photonics, spoken language and video technology and VLSI:
