Established in 1956, the School of Electronics and Information  (SEI) enjoys a long history, beginning as a discipline of Ship  Electrical Equipment at Shanghai Shipbuilding Industrial School, the  predecessor of Jiangsu University of Science and Technology. After  developing for over half  a century, we are now one of the biggest  schools at JUST. There are altogether 110 faculty members, including 15  professors and 33 associate professors. More than one-third of the  faculty members are Ph.D. holders and over fifty percent of the rest  hold Master’s degrees. Currently, we have about 1800 undergraduate  students, and almost four hundred graduate students, including several  international students.
         SEI consists of two departments, three research centers and eight labs.
         These departments are the Department of Automation and the  Department of Electronic Engineering, providing teaching and academic  programs for both undergraduate and graduate students. For the former,  the programs include Automation (National Specialty, Provincial Key  Discipline, and Provincial Excellence Pilot Program), Electronic  Information Engineering (Provincial Excellence Pilot Program),  Electrical Engineering and Automation, Electronic Information Science  and Technology and Measurement Technology and Instruments. For the  latter, we have Automation Science and Engineering, which is officially  evaluated as a First-level Masters’ Degree Program. Meanwhile, there are  other six university-level Master Programs. They are Automation Theory  and Control Engineering, Signal and Information Processing, Power  Electronics and Electrical Drives, System Engineering, Navigation  Guidance and Control and Monitoring Technology and Automation Device.  Also, two post-graduate student training areas are also provided,  namely, Control Engineering and Electronics and Communication  Engineering.
         The research centers include a national experimental teaching  center, a provincial experimental teaching center, and a provincial  engineering technology research center. Additionally, eight labs are  available; Undergraduate Innovation Lab, Control Science and Engineering  Lab, Ship and Marine Engineering Automation Lab (i.e., Ship Equipment  Integration Platform Lab), Ship Integrated Power System Lab, Information  and Communication Engineering Lab, Acoustic Waves and Communication  Lab, Ship Communication and Navigation Lab and Texas Instrument Digital  Signal Processing Lab.
