Preface

Electrical and Electronic Engineering Association, Engineering Society, HKUSU was founded in

2005 as an official student organization in the Department of Electrical and Electronic

Engineering, The University of Hong Kong. It serves as an official representative body of the

Association members. Our aims include promoting the comradeship and understanding among

members, facilitating the communications between the Association and external bodies and

helping members to gain insight of their profession and future career.

As there was no nominated cabinet this year, three Executive Committee members of previous

session were appointed to be acting Executive Committee members in this Session. As

mentioned in the Annual General Meeting of session 2009 – 2010, the acting Executive

Committee members successfully sustained basic functionality of the Association, such as selling

of Association welfare products and organizing functions such as Orientation Camp and

Information Day. Besides, we have also organized several additional functions.

It’s challenging for three of us to run the Association this year. There are both progress and

regress this year. The relationship between the Association and other Academic Societies of

Engineering Society, HKUSU has improved as a large joint-society activity was organized

together. Meanwhile, the number of activities provided has dropped and welfare enjoyed by

Members has decreased.

This Annual Report serves as an official document recording what have been done by the cabinet

in session 2010 – 2011. Reports about general affairs and function reports of the Association are

included in this Annual Report.

4. Prospect

As time goes by, the term of office of the Association of the Session 2010 – 2011 is finally

coming to an end. Flashing back to the previous year, we have organized various activities and

provided different kinds of welfare to the Members, achieving what we promised a year before.

Although we organized less function this year, we still receive generous and unlimited support from the

Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering of The University of Hong Kong, Members and past

Executive Committee of the Association. Therefore, we would like to take this opportunity to express our

thanks to above parties. The culture of unity and support is an important treasure of the Association and

we hope it can be sustained in the coming session.

In the past two years, the Association suffered from decreasing number of Members. Yet, we see

the number of undergraduate student from the Department has increased since common

admission system was adopted by the Faculty. In the coming year, we hope the cabinet of next

session can continue to promote EEE, the Department and the Association to year 1 students of

the Faculty in next academic year and to the public.

Fortunately, we can see the proposed cabinet of the Association of next session successfully

elected in the Annual Election. We can see that they are willing to devote themselves to the

Association and eager to serve Members. We believe they will work hard to achieve the aims and strive

for the best of the Association. Last but not least, I wish the elected cabinet of the Association will

have a fruitful and memorable year, and Members love and enjoy

Electrical and Electronic Engineering Association,
