Overview
Shanghai Dianji University is a municipal, engineering-led university in Shanghai whose roots go back to an electrical manufacturing school established in 1953.
Over the following decades it developed through several technical-college stages, including a pilot five-year technical programme in the 1980s, before being approved in 2004 as a full-time undergraduate institution and taking its present name. The university operates two campuses, at Lingang and Minhang, and is organised into 18 teaching units that offer 52 undergraduate programmes and 12 master's degree authorisation areas.
Its teaching is aimed at intelligent manufacturing, energy equipment, integrated circuits and civil aviation, with a stated emphasis on training practice-oriented field engineers through close cooperation with industry. Schools include Electrical and Energy Engineering, Intelligent Manufacturing and Robotics, Artificial Intelligence and Data Science, Integrated Circuits, Aeronautics, Business, Humanities and Foreign Languages, and Design and Art.
Master's education began in 2011 under a national professional-degree pilot, and the university became a master's degree-granting institution in 2020.
