Course Aims Through a simulated learning environment, students will learn the general profile of the electrical and energy engineering industry, and its latest local and global development. They will understand the work ethics and responsibilities, occupational safety as well as the technologies for sustainable development applications through diversified learning and teaching activities.
Diversified Learning and Teaching Activities There will be lectures with demonstrations, group discussions and presentations, experiments, case studies, visits to power company facilities relating to power generation and energy efficiency, practical training, project learning, etc.
Internship Scheme Upon completion of the course, outstanding graduates may be invited to participate in the Summer Internship Scheme offered by the CLP Power Hong Kong Limited and will be able to gain practical experience with the theories learnt in the workplace environment.
Professional Recognition Students will obtain a Qualifications Framework (QF) Level 3 certificate in addition to the HKDSE qualification upon successful completion of the course.
While the world witnesses rapid scientific and technological advancement, STEM education has become a worldwide trend to equip students with the right mindset and abilities to meet changes and challenges, fostering Hong Kong's development.
