Aims and Characteristics
Under the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours)/ Bachelor of Science (Honours) Scheme in Information and Artificial Intelligence Engineering, there are three undergraduate programmes, namely BEng(Hons) in Electronic Systems and Internet-Of-Things, BSc(Hons) in Artificial Intelligence and Information Engineering and BSc(Hons) in Information Security.
Students admitted to the scheme study together during the first year and then complete their preferred programme (one of the above three programmes), normally within three years. Under this arrangement, students can make their choice after they have obtained a better understanding of the programmes. There is a quota restriction on the above three programmes.
1. BEng (Hons) in Electronic Systems and Internet-of-Things
Programme Aims
The proposed programme aims at developing students into professionals in the fields of electronic and communication engineering with specialisms in the Internet-of-Things (IoT). The programme covers the leading edge technologies in electronic engineering, with a special focus on IoT and related applications.
2. BSc (Hons) in Artificial Intelligence and Information Engineering
Programme Aims
Following the rapid expansion and dissemination of information and smart communication technologies in our daily life, professionals in the areas of information engineering and artificial intelligence are in great demand. This programme aims at developing students into artificial intelligence specialists and professionals in information engineering. The programme covers technological innovations in artificial intelligence and information engineering, focusing on machine perception and data science. Specifically, the programme aims at producing graduates with the following attributes:
a wide range of professional knowledge and skills relevant to Artificial Intelligence and Information Engineering. These include technological innovations in artificial intelligence and information engineering, focusing on machine perception and data science, as well as applications related to information engineering, such as computer vision, healthcare technology, bioinformatics, natural language processing, and automatics robotics,
creativity and innovation,
adaptability to changing technology and society, and
all-rounded attributes.
Programme Characteristics and Intended Learning Outcomes
The Programme offers a good mix of basic theory, hands-on practice and application examples. In the latter part of Year Three, students make use of the knowledge that they have acquired to conduct an artificial intelligence-based Integrated Project. They can focus on selected areas by choosing relevant electives. In the Final Year, students must complete a Capstone Project.
3. BSc (Hons) in Information Security
Programme Aims
This Programme aims at producing graduates with:
a wide range of professional knowledge and skills relevant to information security;
creativity and innovation;
adaptability to changing technology and society; and
all-rounded attributes.
Programme Characteristics and Intended Learning Outcomes
The programme offers a good mix of basic theory, hands-on practice and application examples. In the latter part of Year Three, students can make use of the knowledge that they have acquired to conduct an integrated project. During the summer of Year Three, students have the opportunity to join an internship programme. In the Final Year, students can focus on selected areas by choosing relevant electives.
