The Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering welcomed their first batch of Electrical Engineering graduates for a homecoming visit in August. Accompanied by alumni representatives Mr W.K Lee and Dr F.K. Lam, Professor S.K. Tso, Professor Joshua Wong and Mr Anthony O visited the Department and met with Professor K.T. Chau, Head of the Department.

The first degree in engineering was called Bachelor of Science in Engineering (BSc(Eng)). It was awarded from the establishment of the Faculty until 1988. Since 1989, the degree had renamed as Bachelor of Engineering (BEng). Professor S.K. Tso, Professor Joshua Wong and Mr Anthony O were among the first batch of five students who were conferred a degree of BSc(Eng) under the discipline of Electrical Engineering in 1961. It was indeed a precious opportunity to have them revisiting their alma mater after nearly 60 years from graduation.
