Electrical Engineering and Automation

Introduction of Electrical Engineering and Automation
1. College of Electrical Engineering
Established in 1920, College of Electrical Engineering (CEE), with Department of

Electrical Engineering as its predecessor, was one of the earliest founded
departments of such kind in China. The College is located at Yuquan campus of
Zhejiang University. There are 3 undergraduate programs in the College, Electrical
Engineering and its Automation, Automation, and Electronic Information Engineering.
In respect of graduate education, two first-level disciplines are currently available,
Electrical Engineering, and Control Science and Engineering. Of them, Electrical
Engineering is among the first group to be enlisted as the national first-level key
disciplines, and included in the national key projects such as Project 211 and Project
985. In the year of 2017, the discipline of Electrical Engineering was selected into the
list of the country's construction plan of first-class disciplines.
The College is rich of resources both in teaching and research. Among the 171 faculty
and staff members, there are 52 professors. Its faculty members with PhD degree
account for more than 85%. It is empowered with not only the famous senior
professors such as Professor WANG Yousheng, one of the earliest academicians of
Chinese Academy of Engineering, and Professor HAN Zhenxiang, academician of
Chinese Academy of Science and the ex-president of Zhejiang University, but also
young and middle-aged academic elites like Professor SONG Yonghua, guest
professor of Zhejiang University, president of the University of Macau, fellow of
Royal Academy of Engineering, and IEEE fellow, and Professor XIA Changliang, the
QIUSHI Chair professor of Zhejiang University, and academician of Chinese Academy
of Engineering. At the same time, outstanding young teachers of the EE College have
witnessed a rapid growth of recipients of the chief scientists of the National Basic
Research Program (973), the National Thousand Young Talents Program, and the
NSFC for Excellent Young Scholars.
The College currently consists of 8 institutes, nourished with the following research
and education centers, National Key Laboratory of Power Electronics, National
Engineering Center for Applied Power Electronics, Electrical and Electronic
Experimental Teaching Demonstration Center, Experimental Teaching Center for
Mechanical and Electrical Institute (jointly established), Edison Experimental Class-
an innovation pilot program for outstanding EE undergraduate education, National
Engineering Research Centre for Small & Special Precision Motors (jointly
established), National Train Intelligent Engineering Research Center (jointly
established), Zhejiang Province Marine Renewable Energy Electrical Equipment and
System Technology Research laboratory, and Zhejiang Provincial Key Laboratory of
Intelligent Control and Converting Technology of Motor Systems.
2. Educational Objectives
(1)To provide students with ground knowledge of natural science and overall
capacity of social science, management science and foreign language;
(2) To prepare students for engagement in areas such as operation, control, research,
development, automatic control, information processing, test analysis for power
system and motor system, and in power electronics technology, mechatronic
technology, economic management and computer applications;
(3) To prepare students for innovative and interdisciplinary high-level engineering
professionals and management talents with global vision and broad general
knowledge;
(4) To prepare students for high-quality innovative talents and leaders with global
vision and the spirit of Truth Seeking
3. Outcomes
To prepare students for the Program educational objectives to be achieved, a set of

program outcomes are carefully designed as follows. Knowledge and abilities that
graduates need to have are:
(1) deep understandings of science fundamentals such as mathematics and physics,
fundamentals of social science and management science, and good command of
foreign language
(2) systematic knowledge of basic theory of technology necessary in areas of
expertise, including electrical engineering theory, electronics technology,
information processing, automatic control theory, basic theory and application of
computer hardware and software, etc
(3) ability to have better training in engineering practice, and ability with skilled
computer application

cutting-edge trends of the relevant discipline
(5) strong ability in scientific research, development, and organization and
management skills
4. Characteristics
(1) Curriculum system for electrical engineering of world-class university;

(2) Opportunity to learn Chinese language and culture
5. Q&A
Q1：What is the learning object of the program?
Nearly 70% of the primary energy (oil, coal, nature gas, etc.) in nature is converted
into Electricity, which is the learning object of the program. Electric energy, from the
generation in the power plant, the transformation in the substation and converter
station, the transmission in the power grid, and the control and final consumption in
many applications, is the learning object of the program. The program consists of
two major directions. One is the power system and its automation, which mainly
studies the high-voltage technology, network analysis, equipment operation and
selection, and relay protection of electric energy in the process of generation,
transformation, transmission and distribution. The other is the motor system and its
control, which mainly studies the operation theory, electromagnetic problems,
design and computer control of various motors and their control systems, involving
technologies of power electronics, computer, control and mechatronics.
Q2：What are the core courses of the program?
Intro to Electronics, Intro to Computing, Computer Systems & Programming, Analog
Signal Processing, Probability with Engineering Application, Fields and Wave I, Digital
Systems Laboratory, Semiconductor Electronics, Electric Machinery, Power
Electronics, Power System Analysis, Senior Design Project Lab
Q3：How are the further education and career prospects of the Program?
In the past 3 years, about 70% graduates of Electrical Engineering and Automation
chose to study further in China or abroad. The graduates from the program have
broad employment prospects. Some chose to work in power system companies, such
as State Grid, Southern Power Grid and other power companies at all levels, electric
power design institutes, electric power research institutes. The other chose to work
in industries relating to industrial electric, new energy vehicles, aerospace and robot
control, engaged in the research, development and design, system operation and
computer control of electrical equipment and motor system, such as Huawei,
Siemens, ABB, GE, CRRE, etc.
