About

The College of Engineering was established in May 2015 at the Southern University of Science and Technology in response to a call to reform and modernize engineering education in China. The College has played a leading role in educational reform.

The College of Engineering comprises seven departments and three schools that cover a wide range of engineering disciplines. These are The Department of Mechanics and Aerospace Engineering, The Department of Mechanical and Energy Engineering, The Department of Materials Science and Engineering, The Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, The Department of Computer Science and Engineering, The Department of Ocean Science and Engineering, The Department of Biomedical Engineering, The School of Environmental Science and Engineering, The School of Microelectronics (The National Exemplary Microelectronics), and The School of System Design and Intelligent Manufacturing.

The College also hosts eight research platforms that foster interdisciplinary collaboration and innovation. These are The Institute of Trustworthy Autonomous Systems, The Center for Complex Flows and Soft Matter Research, The Institute of Innovative Materials, The Shenzhen Institute of Sustainable Development, The Institute for Manufacturing Innovation, The Energy Institute for Carbon Neutrality, The Institute of Nanoscience and Applications, and The Center for Precision Optical Engineering.

The College offers a variety of academic programs at different levels, including one Postdoctoral Mobile Station, two Doctoral degree programs, four Master's degree programs, and 21 Undergraduate programs. It also has 25 provincial or ministerial-level laboratories and 46 municipal-level laboratories.

The College of Engineering is the home of over 310 world-class scholars from world-renowned institutions. Among the faculty body is 22 academicians(full-time), 17 recipients of “the National Science Fund for Distinguished Young Scholars”, 18 recipients of “the National Science Fund for Outstanding Young Scholars”, and 11 Distinguished Professors honoured by the Ministry of Education of China.

The College has established close links with top-notch institutions in America, Pan Pacific Region, and Europe on academic exchanges and research collaborations.

Striving for a world-class engineering college, the College focuses on nurturing engineering talents with critical thinking, open-mindedness and innovative spirit to assist in building Shenzhen into a modern, international and innovative city and develop an innovation-oriented Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.
