Established in 1946, School of Electrical Engineering and Automation has become the nucleus and one of the important bases for talent training, scientific research and social services of HFUT after 60 years of its development.
147 faculty and staff members contribute their utmost to the school, including 105 faculty members, 27 laboratory staffs, 15 administrative staffs. Among them, 21 are professors, 71 associate professors and 44 have Ph.D degrees. There is 1 winner of the National Science Foundation for Distinguished Young Scholars, 3 winners of New Century Excellent Talents of Ministry of Education. In addition, 24 Adjunct Professors have been invited including academicians Zhou Xiaoxin, Lei Qingquan, etc.
The school has two undergraduate majors, Automation and Electrical Engineering & Automation; National Key Academic Disciplines of Power Electronics and Power Drives; one doctoral and master degree-conferring unit in first-class discipline of Electrical Engineering (including 6 secondary disciplines, Power System and its Automation, Electrical Machinery and Apparatus, Electrical Theory and New Technology, Power Electronics and Power Drives, High-voltage and Insulation, Electrical Control Technology (independent set), etc.) and post-doctoral research station. The school has Master degree programs in first-class disciplines of Control Science and Engineering (covering three secondary disciplines, Control Theory & Control Engineering, Detection Technology & Automatic Equipment, Mode Identification and Intelligence System, etc.); two engineering Master degree programs of Electrical Engineering and Control Engineering. We have Discipline Introduction and the Innovation Base for Science and Technology in Renewable Energy Integration and Generation - "111 program", Research Center for Photovoltaic Systems Engineering of Ministry of Education, Industrial Automation Engineering Technology Research Center of Anhui Province, New Energy Utilization and Energy Conservation Laboratory of Anhui Province, Aircraft Lightning Protection Key Laboratory of Anhui Province and other national and provincial research bases.
Keeping abreast of the academic frontiers on discipline development and scientific research, we have made considerable achievements on the journey of pursuing high-level teaching and exploring science. What the school has accomplished exerts a certain influence on the field of domestic electrical and automation engineering.
