School Overview

The School of Artificial Intelligence and Electronic Engineering was established by Sichuan Technology and Business University through the integration of the former School of Electronic Information Engineering and School of Computer Science. This restructuring is a proactive response to the national AI development strategy, aligns with industry demands and technological frontiers, and positions the school as an engineering institution specializing in next-generation information technologies.The school's educational history dates back to 2001. The university currently offers nine undergraduate programs: The following programs are available: Computer Science and Technology, Communication Engineering, Electronic Information Engineering, Internet of Things Engineering, Information Management and Information Systems, Software Engineering, Information Security, Artificial Intelligence, and Data Science and Big Data Technology. In addition, there is one associate degree programme in Computer Application Technology. Among these, it boasts three provincial-level applied demonstration majors, two provincial-level first-class undergraduate majors, and one discipline under Sichuan Province's "Double First-Class" Gongga Plan cultivation initiative.

The School's mission is to "anchor the goal of pursuing master's degree authorization and establish disciplinary benchmarks." In line with this mission, the school focuses on three major research directions: artificial intelligence, next-generation electronic information technology, and low-altitude economic perception systems. It has positioned its disciplinary development to "serve national strategies and support regional development." The School is dedicated to building an interdisciplinary ecosystem centred on "AI×Electronics," leveraging electronic engineering to strengthen hardware foundations and empower intelligent applications through artificial intelligence. This approach is designed to nurture highly skilled applied engineering professionals.

It has established an applied talent cultivation system characterized by AI-driven leadership, integrated hardware-software collaboration, and the convergence of four chains: education, talent, industry, and innovation. A multi-stakeholder governance mechanism involving universities, government, enterprises, and associations has been established to implement a four-stage progressive practical teaching approach. The approach is designed to comprehensively strengthen students' core competencies in intelligent system design, engineering innovation, and industrial application, and is delivered through a four-stage program: Fundamentals→Simulation→Innovation →Real-world Application. This approach fosters the development of highly qualified, interdisciplinary and innovative engineering professionals.
