  6. First Modern HEI in China (1895) • Peiyang University • Law • Civil, Mechanical, Mining Eng. • Electrical Engineering • 深究电理学 • 深究用电机理 • 传电力学 • 电报并徳律风 • 电房演示

  7. 上个世纪20年代，北洋校长刘仙洲就说：“各种工业以机械工业之应用最为普遍，并最为现实社会所需求，而各种电气工业之发展，亦有一日千里之现象。……此两学门似在急须添设之列。”

  8. Start of EE education in China • Jiaotong University (1908) • Peiyang University (1932) • Tsinghua University(1932) • …… However, engineering education were in a very small scale before the war, not more than 5000 in total，EE’s students were a small part of it. E.g. 13 students had been enrolled in 1932 by Peiyang while 30 in 1949.

  9. During the WWII, the engineering education continued and developed, especially the EE education and research had been developed. Wind Tunnel

  10. Summary of the 1st period of EE education in China (-1952) • Small in scale • Active in international cooperation • Significant for further development

  11. Blooming of Chinese Engineering Education 1952 – 2000

  12. Soon after the war, the People’s Republic of China was found in 1949. With the new start of industrialization, engineering education took a great leap into “booming period”.

  13. From 1952 to 1955, the higher education system had been reconstructed to meet the urgent requirement of engineers in various industrial sectors. Many comprehensive universities turned to technical universities and large number of specialized technical institutes had been established.

  14. In 1956, China has made its first plan for science and technology development, Semiconductor, Computer, Automation and Electronics are recognized as emergent development areas. In CAS, 4 institutes are established, and several industrial research institutes established.

  15. “Semiconductor Physics and devices” had been established as new major in 1956. In 1960, the first Chinese silicon transistor is made in Tsinghua University

  16. Electronic Engineering become an important “major program” provided in many universities, and professional HEI had been established in Beijing (BUPT), Chengdu and Xian. Tsinghua’s EE Dept . Established in 1952 and become the largest one since 1957.

  17. Engineering Education playing major role in 1950s and 1960s • The number of engineering institutes increased from less than 20 in 1949 to around 300 in 1965. • Engineering education covers around 200 majors.(about 40 in 1949)

  18. Number of engineering graduates at different levels and their percentages among all graduates of the same level in China between 2000 and 2004.

  19. Undergraduates: • 1978-1999, 250 per year, • 2000- 350 per year • 1953-2002, 9484 in total • Postgraduates: • - 1966, 93 in total • 2002, 80+170 per year • -2002, 1777 in total

  20. The courses before 1952: • Math, Physics, Eng. Drawing, Economics • Math, Electrical circuits, Applied Mechanism, Materials, Metallurgy, Thermal Engineering • Electronics, Telegraph & Telephone, Electrical Machine, Communication Network, Engineering Surveying • Electromagnetism, Radio Eng.,….

  21. Specialized courses after 1952: • Electrical power and rectification, Low frequency amplification, Pulse techniques, Transmitter, Receiver, Microwaves, Radio measurement, Material and devices • Television, Telecommunications, Radar, ….

  22. Challenges to the engineering education

  23. 1/3 students in China taking engineering study • Now there are 20 mil. Students in Chinese Universities, 1/3 of them are taking engineering study. • In this “industrializing” country, there are about 390 HEI mainly providing Engineering Education.

  24. 70% graduates entering industry

  25. It is ENGINEER playing key role in China’s industrialization. • It is ENGINEERING EDUCATION cultivating ENGENIEERS. • It is engineers, who shape the world. And, It is engineering education shapes the engineers.

  26. 1. Sci-tech revolution putting new requirements to engineers • How to train engineers being able to adapt to the reconfiguration of industry and pioneering the new development? • How to train engineers being able to continuing update their knowledge by themselves with the pace of fast development of high techniques? • How to train engineers having better understanding to the new break-through in science in order to working innovatively to develop high techniques?

  27. 2. Sustainable development putting new requirements to engineers • How to train engineers to have more consciousnesses of environment, energy, economics and to use the techniques properly? • How to train engineers to take more cares to the human-being and harmonization of nature and society?

  28. 3. The globalization putting new requirements to engineers • How to train engineers in a more “global way” in order to help them better understand the global resources, markets, cultures and international issues? • How to train engineers having the ability of cross-culture communications and international cooperation?

  29. The impact of globalization on Chinese engineering education is demonstrated by a variety of programs. By 2002, China had 712 joint education programs and institutes with foreign countries, 36 percent of which were in business administration, 19 percent in foreign language and literature, 13 percent in electrical engineering and information technology, and 10 percent in economics

  30. China’s ICT industry grows at a rate faster than GDP growth by 2-3 times, and contributes to annual GDP growth by 57%.

  31. By 2006, there are 1867 HEI in China, among them 720 providing academic degree programs, 450 provide postgraduate programs. 70% of them have ICT programs.

  32. By 2005, in all Chinese HEI, there are 2,442,000 students studying in Electronic Information relevant majors. • By 2006, there’re 36 Software Engineering Schools, and 9 IC Engineer Training centers.

  33. In the fast growing IC design area, there’re 400-500 design houses now in China, with about 20000 employees in total, only a few of them has more than 1000 employees.

  34. Should the students be trained to: • Having more “vertical” knowledge about different system layers? • Having wide “horizontal” knowledge about relevant application areas? • With more solid fundamentals of advanced physics and math? • Grasping more advanced tools?

  35. How can students be trained being more creative and innovative? • How can students be trained with strong ability to learning by themselves?

  36. All these challenges are common to all universities, so that we should work closely together to bring the EE education into the new era.
