Chengdu Electronic Technology University

Located in Chengdu, Sichuan Province, the University of Electronic Science and Technology (UEST), formerly known as Chengdu Institute of telecommunication engineering, was founded in 1956 under the personal deployment of Premier Zhou Enlai by the merger of telecommunication engineering related majors of Jiaotong University (now Shanghai Jiaotong University and Xi'an Jiaotong University), Nanjing Institute of Technology (now Southeast University) and South China Institute of Technology (now South China University of Technology).

The University was listed as a national key university by the CPC Central Committee in 1960, one of the seven national defense industrial universities by the CPC Central Committee in 1961, renamed as the University of Electronic Science and technology in 1988, identified as one of the first batch of "211 Project" key universities in 1997, transferred from the former director of the Ministry of information industry to the director of the Ministry of education in 2000, and entered the national "985 Project" key construction university in 2001 In 2017, it entered the ranks of class a universities in the national construction of "world-class university". After more than 60 years of construction, the university has formed a multi-level and multi type talent training pattern from undergraduate to postgraduate, doctoral and so on. It has become a multi-disciplinary research university covering the whole electronic information discipline, with electronic information science and technology as the core, engineering as the main part, science and engineering as the penetration, and coordinated development of science, engineering, management, culture and medicine.

The school has three campuses: Qingshuihe, Shahe and jiulidi, covering an area of more than 4100 mu. It has a modern digital library with rich collection and a number of modern stadiums with complete facilities.

Cheng competition, international college debate competition, National College Students' art competition and other high-level competitions have won gold and silver with remarkable achievements, ranking among the top in the "innovative talents training and discipline competition evaluation of Chinese universities".

The university has built a number of national excellent courses and teaching materials, such as national excellent online open courses. It has a national college students' cultural quality education base, as well as more than 20 national education and teaching practice bases and demonstration centers, such as national experimental teaching demonstration center, virtual simulation experimental teaching demonstration center, and engineering practice education center. It has won a number of national teaching achievement awards.

At present, the university has two national first-class key disciplines (including six second-class disciplines which are all national key disciplines) and two national key (cultivation) disciplines. There are 16 first-class discipline doctoral degree authorization points, 28 first-class discipline master's degree authorization points, 1 second-class discipline master's degree authorization point, 4 doctor's professional degree authorization points and 12 master's professional degree authorization points. There are 13 post doctoral mobile stations. In the fourth round of national first-class discipline evaluation, four disciplines of the University were rated as A-class, among which electronic science and technology and information and communication engineering were a +, and the number of a + disciplines ranked first in western universities. Engineering, materials science, physics, computer science, chemistry, neuroscience and behavior, biology and biochemistry, mathematics entered the top 1% of ESI, among which engineering and computer science entered the top 1% of ESI.

The university takes "top sky, site and talent" as its scientific research orientation, adheres to the development concept of "openness, focus, integration and struggle", and strives to promote the scientific and technological innovation pattern of paying equal attention to basic research and applied research facing the world's science and technology frontier, major national needs and the main economic battlefield. Since the 11th five year plan, 24 national awards and 302 provincial and ministerial awards have been awarded for scientific and technological achievements, more than 25880 SCI / SSCI papers have been published, and more than 5800 invention patents have been authorized. The university has 4 national key laboratories, 4 national engineering laboratories, 1 National Engineering Technology Research Center, 1 National Engineering Research Center, 3 national international joint research centers, 1 national specialized maker space, 49 provincial and ministerial scientific research institutions, 4 National Natural Science Foundation innovation groups, 6 Ministry of education innovation teams and 1 National defense science and technology innovation group Team, 7 bases of introducing talents for Discipline Innovation in Colleges and universities ("111" plan). The school and Chengdu City jointly implement the "one school, one belt" action plan, build an industrial belt for University achievements transformation, and jointly build China's "Western Silicon Valley".

The University vigorously implements the strategy of "giving priority to the development of talents", with more than 3800 teaching staff, including more than 2390 teachers and 630 professors. Up to now, our school has more than 300 outstanding talents at national level, including 8 academicians at home and abroad, including academicians of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Chinese Academy of engineering, European Academy of Sciences, and IEEE fellow Among them, there are 20, "ten thousand talents program" has 21 candidates (including 12 young top talents program), 162 national experts (including 90 young experts), 37 "Yangtze River scholars", 36 outstanding youth, outstanding youth winners, 4 national famous teachers, 12 national ten million talents program, and 18 highly cited scientists in the world.

The University vigorously implements the international development strategy, has established friendly cooperative relations with more than 200 universities, scientific research institutions and enterprises in more than 70 countries and regions in the world, and has signed student exchange and joint training agreements with a group of well-known foreign universities. In the United States, William and Mary College and Glasgow University have established overseas teacher training bases. We have established long-term cooperative relations with Oxford University, University College London, University of Pennsylvania, University of California and other world-famous universities. Through the organic combination of domestic learning and overseas learning, we have built an international talent training system. The number of students going abroad (abroad) continues to increase. More than 30% of the students have overseas study experience during their schooling, and their long-term and short-term destinations cover nearly 50 countries and regions. In 2010, more than 1000 long-term students from more than 70 countries and regions began to enroll overseas students. The University hosts more than ten international academic conferences every year, and selects a large number of teachers to visit and study abroad, cooperate in research and participate in international conferences. The university has seven national bases for introducing talents for discipline innovation, ranking in the forefront of universities in China. The university has established three national level international joint laboratories and a number of inter school joint research centers with the University of Pennsylvania, University of Glasgow, University of New South Wales and Dublin Polytechnic University. The University actively implements the "first class Partnership Program" to promote international talent training, and cooperates with the University of Glasgow to build Glasgow College of University of electronic technology; cooperates with the Royal Institute of technology of Sweden to hold the master's degree education project of integrated circuit engineering; cooperates with McGill University of Canada to hold the master's degree education project of Biomedical Engineering neuroscience; and cooperates with Webster University of the United States He held the International MBA education program, cooperated with Lisbon University of business administration in Portugal to hold the doctoral degree education program of management, and jointly built the Montpellier Confucius Institute with the University of Montpellier in France.

The motto of UESTC is "seeking truth from facts and doing great things in an atmosphere".
