The School of Reliability and Systems Engineering is one of the principal units supporting Beihang University’s first-level discipline of Safety Science and Engineering. It offers doctoral programs in Safety Science and Engineering and Control Science and Engineering, as well as professional master’s and doctoral degree programs in Electronic Information and Mechanical Engineering.

The School offers two undergraduate majors — Aircraft Quality and Reliability and Safety Engineering. Among them, Aircraft Quality and Reliability has been recognized as a national first-class undergraduate major, while Safety Engineering is a Beijing first-class undergraduate major.

The School has established the “Four Strengths” educational model — strong ideals, strong foundations, strong practice, and strong integration — and strives to create a learning environment that is trustworthy, engaging, respectable, and reliable. It houses a National Virtual Simulation Experimental Teaching Center and a Ministry of Industry and Information Technology Demonstration Teaching Center, and has built over 20 off-campus training bases covering key areas of national science and technology as well as the national economy. The School also initiated the Quality and Reliability Education Alliance, which now includes participation from more than 60 universities and enterprises. Upholding the philosophy of “pioneering and innovation, courage to lead, demand-driven, discipline-oriented, coordinated development of science and education, and team-based advancement,” the School has embarked on a distinctive path of innovation characterized by engineering service orientation, scientific research development, and talent training system creation. It has formed a comprehensive reliability ecosystem encompassing education, research, engineering applications, and social services, establishing itself as a leading institution in reliability science and engineering in China.
