1. Brief Introduction to Discipline |
This discipline was established in 1960 and began to recruit graduate students in 1961. In 1998, this discipline was approved by the State Council with doctoral and master's degree granting rights in the first-class discipline of Instrument Science and Technology. This discipline is a first-class key discipline in Jiangsu province and also a preponderant discipline in Jiangsu province. It is one of the key disciplines in the 211 project and 985 revitalization action plan of the Ministry of Education, and also one of the key disciplines in the Double Tops construction of Southeast University. This discipline has 4 ministerial or provincial key laboratories and has participated in the construction of 3 national research platforms. At present, this discipline has formed a high-level faculty team, including the academicians of Chinese Academy of Engineering and the winners of National Science Fund for Distinguished Young Scholars. The faculty team includes 29 doctor supervisors and 52 master supervisors. This discipline aims to promote the national defense construction and economic construction, it has formed the features of military and civilian integration with great superiority. The annual received fund is over 50 million yuan. Graduates of this discipline have good employment prospects and can be engaged in research, development and management work in the fields of instrumentation, measurement and detection, automation and robotics, advanced navigation, electronic information, computer application, intelligent city, intelligent medical treatment and intelligent transportation, etc. This discipline ranks in the forefront among domestic similar disciplines in terms of the academic level, the scientific research achievements and the talent cultivation. In 2016 National First-class Discipline Evaluation of Instrument Science and Technology, this discipline was selected as A- discipline and tied for fourth in China. |
