Introduction The School of Automation and Electric Engineering (herein
refer to School of AEE hereafter) originated from the former Department
of Information and Electric Engineering, one of the earliest departments
set up in the college.
School of AEE is the key unit of construction under the joint
programs between Chinese and German governments. Experiencing
years of successful international cooperation and accomplishments
in facilities construction, the School laid a sound foundation
for teaching and scientific research. It is now on the path of
harmonious development. The rapid growth in educational dimensions
at the school, together with its promotion in teaching quality
and fruitful development of research work are witnessed in recent
years. For instance, Theories of Cybernetics and Cybernetic Engineering
of the school was taken as the key subject (B) of Zhejiang province
in 2004. A well-structured teaching and research team with notable
academic capabilities is coming into being.
At present, with the total staff number of 41, there are 5 professors,
12 associate professors, 15 lecturers and engineers in the School
of AEE. Among them, 3 teachers received doctoral degree, 27 received
master¡¯s degree, and 8 teachers have experience studying in Germany.
Enhancing international exchanges, conducting international cooperation
in teachings, developing globalization and application-oriented
engineering personnel are the aims of the school as well as its
features. Under the leadership of the college, the school opens
¡°2+3¡± joint teaching program with Hannover University of Applied
Science and Arts and Braunschweig/Wolfenb¨¹ttel, ¡°4+2¡± program
with Die Christian-Albrechts-Universit?t zu Kiel and the school
also exchanges students with Hochschule fuer Technik und Wirtschaft
Dresden and many other education institutions in Germany, allowing
students of both sides to practice and design in the counterpart
units.
Undergraduate programmes
Automation,
Electric Engineering and Automation,
Measurement and Control Technology & Instruments.
Laboratory
There are more than 10 of laboratories in the
school:
Laboratory of Circuit, Laboratory of Control
Theory,
Laboratory of Process Control, Laboratory of
DCS,
Laboratory of EDA, Laboratory of PLC,
Laboratory of Principle of Microcomputer, Laboratory
of Computer Control,
Laboratory of Electric Control,
Laboratory of Power Electronics and Comprehensive
Laboratory of Automation
The Comprehensive Laboratory of Automation is
the key Lab in Zhejiang province.
Scientific Research
With the development of research work, the Research Institute
of Automation, the Institute of Electric Automation, the Research
Center of Information and Automation Engineering, the Institute
of Intelligence Apparatus, and the Institute of Electric Appliances
are set up under the school. In the last 3 years, Around 180 research
papers have been published, among them, 13 papers were collected
by SCI, ISTP and EI. Up to 10 projects of province/ ministry level
were undertaken. The number of research items commissioned by
various enterprises is close to 50. Among which, 12 bore the palm,
4 received patents, 22 research results were put into use, producing
economic profits more than 30 million Yuan.
Research Institutes
There are five research institutes in all: they are the Research
Institute of Automation, the Institute of Electric Automation,
the Research Center of Information and Automation Engineering,
the Institute of Intelligence Apparatus and the Institute of Electric
Appliances.
