School of Automation Science and Electrical Engineering (hereinafter referred to as “the School”) was established in August 1954, originally known as the School of Aircraft Equipment of Aviation Academy of Beijing. Over the past seven decades, the school has cultivated a large number of distinguished professionals, including Academy Fellows, principal engineers, celebrated entrepreneurs, and leading aerospace engineers. The school has achieved numerous national “firsts” in scientific research and engineering practice, and has developed into a premier national center for high-caliber talent cultivation and cutting-edge research in aerospace automation, making remarkable contributions to China’s aerospace endeavors.

The school is in possession of solid foundation in a number of disciplines. Two level one disciplines and six level two disciplines are based on the school, among which two disciplines are recognized as National Key Level One Disciplines and other five as National Key Level Two Disciplines. The Level One Discipline “Control Science and Engineering” are identified as category A in the construction of “Double First-Class”.

With a strong tradition of excellence in education and advanced teaching facilities, the school has been awarded more than ten national and municipal teaching achievement prizes. Its faculty has developed a number of National Excellent Courses, National Exemplary Bilingual Courses, and Beijing Municipal Excellent Courses and Teaching Demonstration Centers. The school places strong emphasis on cultivating both scientific research competence and practical innovation capability among its students.

Guided by the mission of nurturing innovation-driven talent, the school upholds scientific research as its driving force, education as its foundation, and discipline development as its cornerstone. It is committed to building an internationally renowned institution of automation distinguished by the deep integration of aerospace, information, and intelligent technologies. Through sustained efforts in research innovation, talent development, and interdisciplinary collaboration, the school continues to contribute to the advancement of automation science and to China’s progress as a global leader in aerospace technology.
