BA/BS in Automation

Automation is an engineering major run by the School of Automation. It enrolled its first undergraduates in the late 1970s, holds national first-class status and has passed engineering education accreditation in China. The curriculum covers circuits, analogue and digital electronics, control theory, power electronics, detection technology, embedded systems, PLC control, artificial intelligence and simulation with MATLAB. Graduates are expected to design, develop and manage systems in motion control, process control, robotics and intelligent equipment. The programme lasts four years and leads to an undergraduate degree. The page frames the long-term goal as producing senior engineers who can solve complex engineering problems, act responsibly and keep learning as the field changes.
