In October 2012, over 300 School of Engineering students gained greater understanding of how electronic and computer engineering technologies impact on everyday life through an iPhone 5 "autopsy", conducted by a group of Electronic and Computer Engineering faculty.

The demonstration gave those attending a valuable chance to take a close look at the electronic components inside the phone. The event was introduced by Prof Patrick Yue, who also discussed the integrated circuit chips used by iPhone 5. This was followed by talks on antennas (Prof Ross Murch), display technologies (Prof Hoi Sing Kwok), networks (Prof Vincent Lau), software applications (Prof Wai Ho Mow) and social media (Prof James She).
