Major Overview
The major of Electrical Engineering and Automation at East China University of Science and Technology was established in 2003. It relies on the advantageous discipline of "Control Science and Engineering". This discipline was one of the first units approved by the State Council to have the authority to grant doctoral and master's degrees. It now has a postdoctoral mobile station, a first-level discipline with doctoral degree authorization, etc., and has strong academic strength. The major adheres to the principle of "solid foundation, strong practice, high quality, and emphasis on innovation". It focuses on the teaching of basic theories and professional knowledge, emphasizes practical teaching, and achieves the combination of multi-disciplinary technologies. Through industry-university-research cooperation and the interaction of teaching and scientific research, it has established joint laboratories with renowned enterprises, providing students with guarantees for engineering practice and innovation training. It also has exchanges and cooperation with many foreign universities, broadening students' international vision. Based in Shanghai and serving the whole country, it has cultivated a large number of talents, and its graduates are widely welcomed by employers. It aims to cultivate high-level engineering and technical talents who can meet the needs of social development and economic construction, possess diversified humanistic knowledge, social responsibility, etc., and achieve a coordinated unity of knowledge, ability and quality. They should master solid mathematical, physical and engineering basic knowledge and professional skills, and be able to engage in various aspects of work in the field of electrical engineering. They should also develop comprehensively in morality, intelligence, physique, aesthetics and labor. It is expected that about five years after graduation, students will be able to solve engineering problems in their professional field, adapt to various engineering environments, and have good qualities and abilities in innovation and other aspects.
