Effective from AY2025/26 Trimester 2 (January 2026), the Postgraduate Certificate in Electrical and Electronic Engineering will be transiting to Graduate Certificate in Electrical and Electronic Engineering. For more details, please refer to the full notice here.

This module aims to provide participants with applied knowledge and skills on the broad range of technologies and multi-disciplinary integrative strategies.

This knowledge is necessary to implement more intelligent power systems of the near future, which can be more resilient, energy-efficient, cyber-secure, interoperable and can accommodate higher penetration of renewables while enhancing the electrification experience of consumers. The technologies include sensing & instrumentation, communications and machine intelligence, which are crucial to making power networks smart, regardless of whether the power networks are large or small, grid-connected or standalone. Before the Smart Grid becomes ubiquitous, it is also important to understand cyber-security issues and implement processes to address them at the early stage.

Who Should Attend

  • Engineers working in the power and energy sector
  • IT professionals in any power and energy-related businesses
  • Electrical and electronic engineering professionals
  • Researchers and educators in electrical engineering and urban sustainability-related areas
Prerequisites
  • Bachelor degree in Engineering
  • At least one-year of relevant working experience
