UESTC was established on the basis of the incorporation of electronics divisions of then three universities including Jiaotong University (now Shanghai Jiao Tong University and Xi'an Jiaotong University), Nanjing Institute of Technology (now Southeast University), and South China Institute of Technology (now South China University of Technology). Now UESTC is a multidisciplinary research university with electronic science and technology as its nucleus, engineering as its major field, and featured with management, liberal art and medicine.[2]
UESTC is consisted of four campuses: Qingshuihe, Shahe, Jiulidi, and Yongning, with a gross built-up area of 1,490 km2 (370,000 acres) . It has more than 40 schools and 65 undergraduate majors (13 of them are national-level featured majors). In 2022, UESTC has more than 42,000 students and 3,800 faculties.
In 1956 summer, under the instruction of Premier Zhou Enlai, the inception of Chengdu Institute of Radio Engineering (CIRE)[3] ushered in the first higher education institution of electronic and information science and technology of China. CIRE was then created from the combination of electronics-allied divisions of three well-established universities: Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Southeast University (then Nanjing Institute of Technology) and South China University of Technology. As early as the 1960s, it was ranked as one of the nation's key higher education institutions, which represents the importance of this university. In 1988, CIRE was renamed University of Electronic Science and Technology of China (USETC). In 1997, UESTC was selected as one of the top 100 key universities by the "State's Education Revival Project" (Project 211). In 2000, UESTC was transferred to the MoE-university system, hence a national key university directly affiliated to the State's Ministry of Education. In 2001, UESTC was selected as one of the 39 research-intensive universities in China that gain special funding under "project 985" for developing into world-class universities. In 2007, the new campus Qingshuihe was put into use. In 2017, UESTC has been included in the state Double First Class University Plan as a Class A Double First Class University.
Today, UESTC has developed into a multidisciplinary university directly reporting to the Ministry of Education, which has electronic information science and technology as its nucleus, science and engineering as its major field, and incorporates management, economics, medicine and liberal arts. UESTC has more than 3,800 faculty members, of whom 8 are academicians of CAS & CAE, 325 full professors, and 483 associate professors, 21 IEEE Fellows, 121 "Thousand Talents Program" recipients, and 15 Elsevier highly cited scholars.[4]
Built on the Stanford Model and as a member of both the "Project 985" and the "Project 211", UESTC is an electronics-centered multidisciplinary leading research university, covering all of the 6 National Key Disciplines categorized for higher education in electronic and information science and technology in China and a broad range of subjects.[5] In 1984 and 2018, many of the schools are reorganized.
The China Discipline Evaluation (CDE) is the official assessment of the quality of disciplines (grouped into 14 domains and 113 first-level disciplines) in China and is one of the most important rankings for Chinese universities. The CDE is conducted every ~5 years starting in 2002. Ranking rule of the fourth CDE: A+ is among the top 2%, A is 2%-5%, A− is 5%-10%, B+ is 10%-20%, B is 20%-30%, B− is 30%-40%, C+ is 40%-50%, C is 50%-60%, and C− is 60%-70%.[6][7] Previous CDEs are evaluated by a score of 0-100.
