The School of Information Science and Engineering was founded in 1960 and has the authority to confer doctoral, master's, and bachelor's degrees.
In terms of undergraduate education, our school offers five undergraduate programs: Measurement and Control Technology and Instruments, Electronic Information Engineering, Computer Science and Technology, Electronic Science and Technology, and Communication Engineering. We also has 1 professional foundation teaching and research office, 1 experimental teaching center, and 1 communication engineering program (offered through China-foreign cooperative education). Currently, the School enrolls 2,396 undergraduate students.
In recent years, our school has received approval for four National First-class Courses and 14 Provincial First-class Courses. It has also won more than 20 provincial and ministerial teaching achievement awards, overseen over 50 teaching reform projects at the provincial and ministerial levels, garnered four provincial honors for outstanding textbooks, and is home to 5 teaching masters recognized at the provincial level. We offers 32 teaching platforms, such as Cloud Computing and Big Data, IC Chip Design, Robotics, Image Processing, and Embedded Artificial Intelligence, to foster innovation, entrepreneurship, and skill development among students. Additionally, students can access nearly 500,000 electronic books from various resources, including Super Star Electronic Books, Book World Chinese Electronic Books, New Digital Books Database, and the Academician Library.
In graduate education, our school offers a doctoral discipline in Instrumentation Science and Technology, which includes a national postdoctoral research station. According to the fourth round of discipline evaluations, it is ranked 15th, placing it in the top 20-30% nationwide. We also provides master's programs in four major fields: Instrumentation Science and Technology, Computer Science and Technology, Electronic Science and Technology, and Information and Communication Engineering. Additionally, five specialized master’s programs are available in areas related to Electronic Information Engineering, including Instrumentation Engineering, Integrated Circuit Engineering, Computer Technology, New-Generation Electronic Information Technology, and Communication Engineering. Currently, there are 752 master’s students, 94 doctoral students, and 20 postdoctoral researchers in our school.
Our school boasts a strong faculty team. It has a total of 130 staff members, including 100 full-time teachers. Among them, there is 1 academician candidate for the Chinese Academy of Engineering, 1 Changjiang Scholar Distinguished Professor, 2 national-level leading talents from the Ten Thousand Talents Program, 3 experts receiving the Special Government Allowances of the State Council, and 18 provincial-level talent awardees. The faculty has a well-structured distribution of academic titles and qualifications: 31 professors, 36 associate professors and senior engineers, and 87% of the faculty hold doctoral degrees. Additionally, there are 54 doctoral supervisors and 101 master's supervisors, both within and outside the university.
Our school has exceptional research facilities and robust capabilities. In 2004, it broke the international monopoly by successfully developing China's first intelligent detection system for long-distance pipelines, which is entirely based on independent intellectual property. This achievement earned the second prize at the National Science and Technology Progress Awards. We currently host five provincial-level research platforms: Machine Vision Key Laboratory, Key Laboratory for Internal Detection of Oil and Gas Pipelines, Engineering Research Center for Internal Detection of Long-distance Oil and Gas Pipelines, Key Laboratory for Advanced In-line Detection Technology, and Integrated Circuit and Electronic System Design Laboratory. Additionally, the School has nine industry-university cooperation platforms, including Shenyang University of Technology-Kunshan Ultrasonic Joint Laboratory, Shenyang University of Technology-Texas Instruments DSP Joint Laboratory, Shenyang University of Technology-COSL Pipeline Detection Joint Laboratory, and Shenyang University of Technology-Physical Acoustics Corporation Acoustic Emission Technology Joint Laboratory. In recent years, the School has undertaken over 50 National Natural Science Foundation projects, including two specialized instrument projects, more than 300 provincial and ministerial projects, and numerous enterprise-commissioned research topics. These projects cover areas such as advanced in-line detection technology, image processing and pattern recognition, sensors, IC chip design, bioengineering, drones, robotics, intelligent manufacturing information systems, and complex systems control and optimization. The School’s annual research funding exceeds 50 million RMB, consistently ranking first in the university for several years. Each year, our staff publishes more than 50 high-profile papers and secures over 30 invention patents.
Our school has a significant influence both domestically and internationally. It has engaged in extensive academic exchanges with universities in the UK, the US, Hong Kong, and various institutions across mainland China. It has successfully organized and hosted a range of domestic and international conferences, such as the Youth Academic Conference of the Chinese Society of Instrumentation, the first through tenth National Conferences on Information Acquisition and Processing, the Frontiers Forum on Information Sensing and Fusion, and the National Conference on Electromagnetic Nondestructive Testing.
In recent years, our students have competed in events such as the International Internet+ Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition, the National College Student Integrated Circuit Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition, the National College Student Embedded Chip and System Design Competition, the National College Student Robot Competition, and the Mathematical Modeling Competition, earning nearly 200 national-level awards. In addition, students have been awarded various scholarships, including the National Scholarship, National Inspirational Scholarship, Liaoning Province Government Scholarship, Chinese Society of Instrumentation Scholarship, Chinese Institute of Electronics Integrated Circuit Scholarship, and corporate scholarships, with nearly a thousand students earning these awards every year. The student cultivation spans cutting-edge industries like instrumentation, electronic information, and computer science, with graduates enjoying wide career opportunities, high social recognition, and strong demand from employers.
