Electronic Information Engineering

China's economic environment has undergone great changes in the past decade. Information and communication technology has become the main driving force of its economic development. New Internet-related products and services (online banking, online trading, etc.) are booming. On the one hand, the Internet technology has significantly changed people's daily lives, becoming an integral part of their business and leisure activities. On the other hand, society has in turn placed higher demands on the performance of the Internet. In the foreseeable future, the revenue generated from the e-commerce will exceed that from many traditional industries. In a few years’ time, the economy in the Pearl River Delta will likely be similar to that is in the United States: the Internet industry provides more employment than many other traditional industries. Shenzhen, as one of the most important base of IT industry in China, has a very high demand of IT professionals with a world vision.

CUHK (SZ) strives to become a world-class teaching and research institute, and is committed to carry out cutting-edge research and knowledge transfer in the fields of information technology, big data, new energy, international finance and logistics, etc. To realize this goal, staff of high-caliber has been globally recruited, curricula carefully designed and campus facility purposely built. The programme will welcome the first batch of undergraduate students in fall 2015. Students will have ample opportunities to interact with the teachers/researchers in classrooms and in research labs, although this programme mainly focuses on the basic knowledge and skills of electronic information engineering in the Internet era.

Graduates in Electronic Information Engineering will be at the leading edge of their fields, and master a toolkit of widely applicable knowledge and skills that will help create the future of IT. They will not only learn principles and techniques of information transmission, storage, processing, and analysis, but also engage in developing ideas, designing prototypes and even participating in technology transfer to commercial enterprises.
