introduction to degree program in electrical engineering

(0808)

ⅰ. brief introduction to the discipline

1. orientation and goal

history: in 1949, the discipline of electrical engineering (ee) was established by academician cao jianyou of the chinese academy of sciences. in 1981, it was granted to confer phd degrees (in the first batch) and in 1987 it was awarded the national key discipline. in 1999, it was awarded one of the tier-1 disciplines to confer phd degrees and host postdoctoral researchers, under which the tier-2 discipline electrical power systems and automation was a national key discipline and the tier-2 discipline power electronics and electric drives was a national key discipline (being fostered).

orientation: to educate students, carry out research and serve the society in the areas of electrification and automation of rail transport and renewable energy.

objectives: to lead the scientific advancement and personnel training of electrification and automation of rail transport, and to develop the discipline into a first-class discipline in the world.

2. advantages and features

2.1 well-complemented and prominent faculty

the discipline of ee possesses a large pool of prominent scholars and professors, including two academicians of the chinese academy of engineering, three national 1000-plan talents, two yangtze chair professors, four national distinguished youths, one national 1000-plan young talent, two candidates for the national pacesetter project, two winners of national award for distinguished experts, six provincial hundred (thousand) talents, six leaders of academic technology in sichuan, nine candidates for leaders of academic technology in sichuan, three winners of outstanding youths, five experts who receive special allowance from the state council, one winner of national excellent doctoral dissertation awards, and three candidates for national excellent doctoral dissertation awards, one winner of national excellent teacher award and two winners of sichuan excellent teacher award.

2.2 first-class wide-ranging facilities and platforms

with the support of the 211-project, 985-project, and the 2011 collaborative innovation partnerships, the discipline is the home of six national and provincial platforms, including the national engineering research center for electrification and automation of rail transportation and the key laboratory of the department of education for maglev trains. the discipline is also an important part of the national key laboratory of traction power systems. moreover, discipline is the home of the national demonstration center for experiments in electrical engineering, the national teaching center of simulations in electrification and automation of rail transportation, and the joint national demonstration center for experiments in physics education.

2.3 fruitful achievements in rail-transport education

teaching-reform has been consecutively awarded the first prize of national teaching achievement once and second prize three times. faculty members have received recognition for excellence in teaching with two nation-wide shared courses, four national elite courses, one national open course, and seven elite courses in sichuan. we have published seven textbooks under the 11th five-year plan, ten textbooks under the 12th five-year plan and seven textbooks under the plan of the railway ministry. one paper got national outstanding doctoral dissertations award and three papers were nominated for national outstanding doctoral dissertations.

2.4 advanced scientific researches

the ee discipline of swjtu has been leading the advancement of rail-transport technologies. we established the electric transportation before the era of electrifying the railway to educate the talents required. we proposed the voltage scheme for electrified railways at the beginning of electrifying the railway. during the process of electrifying the railway, we developed the first remote-operated micro-computer-controlled traction power systems, the first automation system for sub-stations, and the first vehicle for detecting faults in overhead systems. during the development of high-speed trains, we developed the first monitoring system for the distribution system of high-speed trains, the first digital traction substation, the first 6c system for overhead systems, the world’s first co-phase traction power system, and the world’s first energy-saving traction transformer, etc. we have also developed the first maglev passenger train and the longest commercial medium-low speed maglev trains in changsha.

2.5 graduates with high prestige

about 80% of the managers, both administrative and technological, in electrification and automation of rail transport graduated from this discipline. graduates ding rongjun and jiang xianguo are the only academician and design master in the field.

2.6 close collaboration with industry

the close collaboration with industry, e.g. the development of the first monitoring system for the distribution system of high-speed trains, has not only supported the development of the high-speed trains in china but also it has advanced the development of the discipline.

3. set-ups of the discipline

the discipline of electrical engineering consists of several sub-disciplines, including traction power system and its automation, traction and drive, power system and its automation, power electronics and electrical drives, motors and electric apparatus, new technology of electrical theory, high voltage and insulation technologies, electrification and automation of rail transport, electromagnetic suspension and superconducting engineering etc.

4. impacts

4.1 irreplaceable role in rail transport and significant social impact

the ee team has provided important consultancies to the strategic planning and the standardization of the rail transport sector, and provided a large amount of technological consultancies and services to the companies in this sector, bringing significant social impact. we have developed and provided numerous key technologies and equipment to support the fast growth of china’s railway industry. for example, almost all the monitoring systems for the distribution systems of high-speed trains, 80% of monitoring systems for the key operational traction equipment, and 65% of the automation systems for traction substations are originated from the discipline. a troop of our excellent graduates worked in the field of rail transit and the textbooks we edited are widely used in related colleges and universities. every year,   600-1000 administrative and technical backbones from the railway ministry (china railway engineering corporation) participate in our training program.

2. extensive academic exchanges with high reputation worldwide

the discipline of ee has established long-term collaborative partnerships with over 30 renowned companies and over 20 universities, including uic, cornell university and tokyo institute of technology. we have set up joint laboratories with leading international companies, such as rockwell, schneider electric, and freescale, and a joint engineering research center in hong kong with hong kong polytechnic university.

more than 20 world-renowned scholars are appointed as part-time visiting professors or advisory professors, including tongwen chen (academician of canada academy of engineering, canada), steven a. boggs (toronto university, canada), and kinji mori (waseda university, japan).

faculty members of ee play important role in national and international professional organizations. for example, academician qian qingquan is an advisor to several national and international journals. professor kemin zhou is a fellow of ieee, ifac and aaas and an associate editor for six leading international journals including ieee ac. professors wu guangning, he zhengyou and chen weirong are fellows of iet. zhang gexiang is the founder of the international society of membrane computing and feng xiaoyun is a member of the committee of the electrical engineering of the state council.
