Tan Zicong 譚梓聰
After I received the MSc. Degree from the Department of Electronic Engineering, CUHK, I found I had not just learned the knowledge in CUHK, I also learned a lot of ways to seek knowledge by myself. This is the most important knowledge than the knowledge from book in my whole life. The professors in the Department of Electronic Engineering rather teach you the way how to learn than just tell you the knowledge itself. The faculty members did not just teach knowledge. They told us some knowledge about life philosophy, gave us chances to visit some big companies or do some research. In this department, you can find out what you really like to do and help you find the way to do it. |

Shum Tak Lok, Samuel 沈德諾
Currently, I am working in a research institute in HK. The academic qualification is the major concern in my job. At the beginning, I just see this MSc programme offered by the Department of Electronic Engineering in CUHK as a steppingstone of my career success. And I don’t care about the interest of the course subject or the course grade. However, this concept is totally changed when I finished my first course called the Power-Management Technology. In this course, Prof. Leung can make use of the examples in daily life to explain some complex concept. This kind of teaching style has inspired my change in the pursuit of learning attitude, which is of great benefit to my future research work. |

Zhou Sai 周賽
After graduating from undergraduate school, I chose to pursue Master of Science degree in CUHK to clarify my career planning and develop myself. Though one-year MSc programme is short, I attained lots of new knowledge and many unforgettable experiences. The curriculum expects covering variety of aspects in electronic technologies, it also has innovation and management course to inspire students’ creative capacities. Most importantly, Department of Electronic Engineering offers research and development project in which you can do research independently under the supervision of a professor. Thanks to this project, I decided to get deeper in computer science field. From EE to AI, it is Department of EE provided me a platform where I not only entered a new filed, and then liked it, but also became competitive in job market as equipped with project experience. All members in department of EE are kind as well as responsible and classmates are friendly and always willing to help me in study and life. Unfortunately, due to the outbreak of COVID-19, the chance for chatting in face to face was rare and precious, but I will treasure all memories with everyone in CUHK. |

Tang Min 唐敏
It was a wonderful year of studying in the EE Department, CUHK. I have learned three things during this year. Firstly, “Always being optimistic towards the change”. In this year of the epidemic, although it was not easy for us to be back home, we celebrated all kinds of festivals together and created amazing and special memories. Secondly, “Study hard, play hard”. That rule helped me obtain the scholarship while having a fun time in Hong Kong. Last but not least, “Communicate with classmates as much as we can”. Communication could help us obtain more information and open our minds, especially when we are lost. |
