I.     Training Objectives and Specifications

The major aims to cultivate students into technical and managerial talents with solid foundation, compound knowledge, innovative ideas and international competiveness. The students are expected to be capable of applying theories and techniques they have learned into works related to electrical engineering such as system operation and control, electrical technology, information processing, test analysis, research and development, project management and application of computer technology, and to be capable of scientific research, teaching, technology development and application in fields of the design, analysis, measurement, control and fault diagnosis of power system and various types of electrical equipment. Potential for further study, lifelong learning and professional progress is also essential for students majoring in Electrical Engineering and Automation.

Following the school tradition of “emphasizing practices, pursuing innovation”, the major, with its focus on strong current, realizes the characteristic combination of strong and weak current as well as that of hardware and software.

The major is intended for research talents, who can be specified into two types of professionals: one with continuous learning and researching abilities, and thus potential for further education; and the other type with both solid theoretical foundation and practical ability, and thus capability of researching and developing in electrical engineering-related fields.

 

II.   The Curriculum System

1. General Education Courses

       General education curriculum consists of three parts, namely, public courses, general education core courses and general education practices. A total of 48 credits should be earned: 25 credits in Public courses including ideological and political courses, English and PE; 21 credits in general education core courses including 8 credits in humanities, 4 credits in social sciences, and 9 credits in natural sciences and engineering technology; 2 credits in general education practices.

2. Professional Education Courses

Professional education curriculum is composed of platform-based courses, professional compulsory courses and professional elective courses, totally 108 credits. The credits of Programming Methodology course can meanwhile be transferred into credits of natural sciences and engineering technology module in general education courses. During the study of professional courses (i.e. from the 5th to 7th semester), students are required to attend at least one professional course taught in English.

3. Practical Education Courses

Practical education courses require a total of 47 credits, including 11 credits for compulsory laboratory courses, 12 credits for compulsory and elective courses in internship and practice, 3 credits for military training, 4 credits for specialized elective courses for comprehensive training and 17 credits for graduation project. The credits of Engineering Practice and Technological Innovation Ⅰcourse can meanwhile be counted as credits for natural sciences and engineering technology module in general education.

4. Individualized Education Courses

       Individualized education courses are electives at students’ choice and 20 credits are to be finished during their study. All credits count in this curriculum but those for the above three modules as in the major’s training program (i.e. modules of general education, professional education and practical education). To illustrate, credits for Individualized Education Courses include credits of minor courses and elective courses, excess credits of restricted electives, credits of professional electives with no credit requirements provided by some other majors, credits of College Basic English (3) and (4), and credits from the recognized extracurricular competitions and practical innovation projects such as PRP.

III. Academic System, Graduation Requirements and Degree

      The flexible academic system is applied in Electrical Engineering and Automation and lasts 4 to 6 years. Early graduation is allowed for students who have obtained 223 credits as required. Extended schooling within six years is also permissible. According to “Regulations Concerning Academic Degrees in the People’s Republic of China”, BE Degree will be granted to students who have completed the curricula and teaching practice as required in the major training program and obtained the required credits with qualified moral, intellectual and physical examination results.
