University-based Electronics Technology Project Study 2006–07 Closing Ceremony and Project Presentation

We would like to invite you to cover the following event:

The University-based Electronics Technology Project Study 2006–07, co-organized by City University of Hong Kong (CityU), the Education and Manpower Bureau (EMB) and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE)–Hong Kong Section, is coming to an end. A project presentation will be held on 17 March.

Twenty-three gifted secondary school students with outstanding potential in electronics technology have been participating in the project since August 2006. These talented students chose from a list of topics suggested by academics and then conducted their own thorough research. The chosen topics include an AC-socket with status indicator and over-current protection; the development of a 3D cyber world on the Internet, smart card applications, and so forth. The students will demonstrate their research results at the closing ceremony.

After the ceremony, Professor Henry Chung Shu-hung, Associate Dean of the Faculty of Science and Engineering, and Dr Peter Tsang Wai-ming, Associate Professor of the Department of Electronic Engineering, will discuss with the media some of the strengths and weaknesses of the students.
