Work-Study Programme
Purpose
The Work-Study Programme aims to:
-
allow students to gain substantial industrial working experience during
their academic training.
-
enable students to build up human relation skills and appreciate how
academic knowledge can be applied to the real world.
-
prepare students to become a better professional engineer after
graduation, which will eventually benefit their future employers and the
society as a whole.
Programme Format
-
The Programme is in the format of industrial training which consists of
a single 12-month period. During this period, the student follows a
structured training programme and acquires a wide range of skills which
are essential for his/her development as an engineer.
-
The employer assigns a "Training Supervisor". A "University
Supervisor" is appointed by the Department of Computer Science and
Engineering, CUHK.
Industrial Training and Progress Supervision
-
During training, the student records his/her work in a log book
prescribed by the Hong Kong Institution of Engineers (HKIE) which is to be
examined at regular intervals by the Training Supervisor and by the
University supervisor until the training ends.
-
The student's progress is reviewed by the University Supervisor at
two industrial visits within the training period.
-
The student submits a written report to the Department of Computer
Science and Engineering within one month after the completion of the
training.
Students
Our Department has two streams of students studying the (1) Computer
Engineering Major and (2) Computer Science Major. The students will
commence training after the completion of their 2nd year final
examination. By then, they would have studied the following topics:
Computer Engineering Major Students
Microcomputer Systems
Digital Circuits and Systems Designs
Computer Structures and Architecture
Communication Systems
Computer Science Majors Students
Formal Languages
Numerical Computation
Database Systems
Software Engineering
Common core courses for both Majors
Programming / Data Structures / Mathematics
Operating Systems
Algorithms
Data Communication and Networks
Theoretical Computer Science
* Graphics and Artificial Intelligence are options taken by most students.
