In early September, Zhejiang University(ZJU)college of Information Science and Electronic Engineering’s Hong Kong visitinggroup visited City University of Hong Kong(CItyU), Hong Kong university(HKU), ChineseUniversity of Hong Kong(CUHK) and Hong Kong University of Science andTechnology(HKUST). The academic atmosphere made students feel the advantage ofoutstanding schools among the world. During the visit, students knew thefaculty settings and application methods of these universities and think moreof their future development.

CityU

CityU is the first stop of the visit. Onthe morning of September 4^th, visiting group came to this young andpromising school. Dr. Ray C.C. Cheung from CityU&EE introduced thedevelopment history of CityU and department composition to the students, and hespecifically introduced faculty and research situation of ElectronicEngineering(EE) department. Then he answered students’ questions aboutapplication, accommodation and etc. Next, Xu Hao showed promotional video of ZJUto students and teachers in CityU. Students in both schools shared thesimilarities and differences between the two universities between the twouniversities in scientific research, teaching and etc.

Soon afterwards, few doctoral students and masterstudents shared their research and guided the students to visit the researchresults in the exhibition hall. During the free talk, senior students sharedtheir experience in CityU and offered some advice for our junior students.After lunch, senior students guided students to visit EE labs and the campus.Free and energetic atmosphere in the campus impressed students a lot.

HKU

On the afternoon of Sept. 5^th,the visiting group arrived at HKU. At first, Dr.Y.C.Wu and Dr.H.K.H.Sointroduced their current research field and application prospects to thestudents, who admired their enthusiasm and confidence for science. Then, Dr.Y.C.Wuintroduced the history and faculty of HKU. The school has always been teachingin English since founded and cross-disciplinary research has been among the topranks in the world. The professor also introduced the research direction,faculty strength, academic atmosphere and process of applying for phD andexpressed his welcome for students from ZJU for further study in HKU.

Later, Dr.Y.H.Hou led the students to visitthree labs. The professor said that they do research to make the society betterand they cultivated not only professional leaders but also social leaders. Thisspirit impressed students a lot. Finally, Dr.Y.H.Hou guided students around thecampus. The European architectural style, the lively community and thecomfortable learning environment really appealed to the students.

CUHK

On the morning of Sept.6^th,students arrived at CUHK. Firstly, they came to He Shanheng engineeringbuilding where the college of electronic engineering is placed. The studentsvisited RF Radiation Research Lab, the Organic and Nanomaterial OpticalCharacterization Lab and the Semiconductor Microstructure Process Lab. Duringthe visit, the students were exposed to the cutting-edge research andapplications in communication and materials.

Afterwards, the students communicated withundergraduates of the Department of Electronic Engineering of CUHK in theconference room, and learned some details in faculty and teaching in therelaxed and pleasant chatting. Then Prof. Meng Qinghu, the head of thedepartment, presented the learning atmosphere, living conditions, the advantageof faculty and the admission requirements for PhD to the students. Students aretouched by the idea of the educational concepts and developing future in theHong Kong and the Mainland. And the idea taught students to be aware of theirmotivation for scientific research and future planning.

HKUST

The last stop isHKUST, which ranks first in EE among Hong Kong universities. On the morning ofSept.7^th, the visiting group arrived at beautiful HKUST. First,Professor Richard So introduced the profiles of HKUST to the students,including campus culture, research level, and student enrollment. Professor GeorgeYuan then introduced the enrollment of PhD and faculty of the ECE department tothe students. The professor mentioned that every year, there will beoutstanding students from Zhejiang University who go to HKUST for further studyand demonstrate extraordinary research capabilities, which made students feelvery proud. Afterwards, the students visited the lab, guided by thereceptionist. From a real-time monitoring microwave darkroom to the energy-freeantenna that can be used for electronic tags, the students experienced themagic of the electromagnetic field and electromagnetic wave.

Back to theconference room, the students had the honor to communicate with the two seniorstudents from ZJU and a senior university student of Hefei University ofTechnology. The students actively shot questions, from research equipment toapplication criteria, from academic achievements to scientific research experiences.Senior students encouraged students to figure out what they want and learn todemonstrate their abilities and values by their own experiences.

Although the tripto Hong Kong was short, the students had a good look of four differentuniversities. The free atmosphere, comfortable environment and professionalacademics impressed them. I believe that the students have not only broadenedtheir horizons, but also have far-reaching thinking about their futuredevelopment.
