ⅠMajor Introduction
Automation major is the first batch of brand major and national characteristic major in Shandong province which was founded in 1958. This subject rely on a first level discipline “Control Science and Engineering” and a second class discipline “Power Electronics and Power Transmission”. It is the "211 Project" and "985 Project" key construction units of Shandong University and has the complete talent training system from bachelor, master to doctor degrees. The experimental conditions are advanced and the teachers in the major are very qualified: there are 40 faculties including three Changjiang scholars, two national "Thousand People Plan" specially-invited experts, Three Taishan scholars distinguished professors, two national outstanding youth fund gainer, 20 professors, 20 associate professors. The full-time teachers with engineering or social practice experience account for more than 75% of all.
Automation is an important technical ability which can achieve our country modernization in industry, agriculture, national defense and science and technology, improve labor productivity, improve product quality, improve working conditions and save energy. Automation has some characteristics of combining the control theory and control engineering, combining the heavy current and weak current, combining software with hardware, and combining the components and systems integration. Automation is also an interdisciplinary and cross-industry major with a broad employment field.
ⅡCultivation Objective
Themajoraims to develop students in all-round way including the morality, intelligence, physical health and art, to cultivate high-level engineering and technology talents with generous basic knowledge, solid professional knowledge, strong practical ability, great sense of innovation, and high comprehensive quality. The graduates are able to be worked in the fields of control theory and control engineering, power electronics and motion control, automatic measurement and process control, intelligent management and decision-making technology, etc. They can be engaged in some works such as scientific and technological research, technology development, engineering design. Then gradually grow into related technical mainstay, experts and talents in the field of automation.
