- Overview
School of Communication Engineering was originated from the engineering college founded in 1935, whose dean was Prof. Feng Jian, a famous radio expert and the founder of radio subject of Chongqing Unviersity. In 1940, telecommunication group was set up from the electrical engineering department, in which Prof. Liu Yilun served as the head, a famous telecommunication expert. The electrical enigneering department was renamed the telecommunication department in 1953 and Prof. Jiang Zejia acted as the head.
In 1955, the telecommunication department of Chongqing University and the radio department of Tianjin University were merged into Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications. Radio department was orgazied in Chongqing University in 1959. In 1992, the radio department was renamed the electronic engineering department, merged with the computer science department and the automation department, forming the college of electronic information engineering. Based on which, college of communication, telemetering and telecontroling was established in 1998. In 2000, the name was changed into the School of Communication Engineering.
Currently, School of Communication Engineering now has 89 faculty and staff members, among them there are one academician from Chinese Academy of Engineering, two state-level master teacher, one state-level expert with outstanding contribution, one expert of Master of Engineering Coordination Group of MOE, one expert of Curriculum Steering Committee of MOE, and 3 “The Hundred Talents”; 37 faculties with senior professional title, 12 supervisors for Doctorate candidates, and 54 supervisors for master students. The School now has a total enrollment of more than 2,000 students, among which 600 are master and doctor degree students and 300 are special field degree students, the undergraduates are about 1440.
The School possesses a series of key resources listed in the following: state key subject “Electrotechnics theory and new technology”, state “211 Project” key construction subject “Aerocraft TTC and remote sensing information transmission technology”, state “985 Project” technology innovation platform “TTC and remote sensing information transmission”, national teaching base of fundamental courses in electrical and electronics engineering, national electrical and electronic experimental teaching demonstration center, and national electronic information engineering characteristic major construction site; It also has post-doctoral research stations, two doctorate authorization centers.
In recent years, the School has received 8 state-level awards, obtained over 20 national invention patents, and published more than 600 high level academic papers in domestic and international renowned journals and conferences. Now the School is continuously forging ahead toward its goal of turning it into a world-class researchoriented school!
