The Electrical Engineering and Automation is the youngest major in our college since this major did not enroll students until 2003. This major is established on the basis of Water Conservancy and Hydropower Power Engineering, and is oriented to hydropower generation, industrial and agricultural industrial transmission, transformation, distribution and use. In the process of running the agricultural universities, the major adheres to the professional characteristics of "Combining strong and weak current, software and hardware", and develops steadily based on the direction of new energy power generation, urban power supply and distribution and agricultural automation, and gradually forms the characteristic professional direction of intelligent urban power supply and distribution and agricultural intelligent control.
The major of Electrical Engineering and Automation aims at cultivating innovative and composite talents with basic theoretical and innovative practical ability of electrical engineering and its automation. Students are trained by the basic knowledge and practical innovation ability of circuits, electronics, electromagnetism, motors and electrical appliances, power systems, control principles, computer technology and electrical experimental operation skills; has the knowledge of relevant disciplines in similar fields such as control science and engineering, computer science and technology; and can engage in planning, design, development, scientific research and management in the field of electrical engineering. Students have the ability to become engineers or equivalent professional and technical capabilities and to become academic, technical or management backbones in electrical engineering and related fields after five years of graduation.
Specialized key courses: Signals and Systems, Principles of Automatic Control, Electromagnetic Field Theory, Electrical Engineering, Power Electronics Technology, Microcontroller Principles and Applications, Electrical Control and Programmable Controllers, Electrical Parts of Power Plants, Power System Analysis, Principles of Relay Protection.
