I.     Training Objectives and Specifications

The major aims to cultivate students into high-quality, versatile talents with a solid theoretical base in mechanics and electrics, skills at measurement and control techniques as well as the knowledge of other related disciplines. With creative minds, team-work spirits and comprehensive high qualities, the students are expected to be capable of scientific research, teaching, technology development and management in such measurement and control-related fields as test measurement technology, sensor technology, precision instruments and machinery, process control, information processing, computer applications and electrical engineering.

Taking the disciplinary features of the Control Technology and Instrument major into consideration, the talent training system combines mechanics and electrics with an equal stress on measurement and control. The students are supposed to have a solid foundation of mechanics and electronics, a strong base on engineering technology such as monitoring and control technology and sensor technology, together with a special disciplinary background concerning computers, automation, electrical engineering, optics and engineering. Compared to those who specialized in either mechanics or electronics, students in this major tend to have precision machinery design knowledge and practical abilities, and are good at applying the deep knowledge of mechatronics and intelligent instrument design and the technology of sensor and control to research and engineering fields concerned, where they can thereby distinguish themselves. The training objective of the major should therefore focus on talents’ knowledge-ability-innovation awareness, plus the ensuing capabilities of coordination and engineering design. Also required are an in-depth understanding of the advanced technology and dynamic developments home and abroad, and creative researching into the solutions to both theoretical and engineering technical issues in the discipline.

The major is intended for research talents, which 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 fields of measurement and control technology, intelligent instruments, computer information technology, mechatronics, etc.

 

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

A total of 107 credits are to be finished for Professional 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. All professional elementary courses are compulsory.

3. Practical Education Courses

Practical education courses require a total of 47 credits, including 7 credits for compulsory laboratory courses, 12 credits for compulsory and elective courses in internship and practice, 3 credits for military training, 8 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 Control Technology and Instrument and lasts 4 to 6 years. Early graduation is allowed for students who have obtained 222 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.
