The School of Electronic Engineering & Computer Science of Peking University was formally established in September, 2002. It was reorganized based on four former units: Department of Computer Science and Technology, Department of Electronics, Institute of Microelectronics, and Center for Information Science. In 1978, the Department of Computer Science and Technology was formally established, whose origin could be traced back to the programming specialty in the Department of Mathematics since 1957. In 1985, the Center for Information Science was founded based on related departments to promote the interdisciplinary research. In the history, the dedicated efforts of prominent faculty in these units made great contributions to the society on Information Technology research and education, as well as Information Industry development in China.
The School now covers four departments: Department of Computer Science & Technology, Department of Electronics, Department of Microelectronics, and Department of Machine Intelligence. There are 12 research institutes, which are responsible for research activities and graduate students education. About 390 faculty and staff members work in the School. Among them there are 83 full professors, including three members of Chinese Academy of Sciences (one is an adjunct faculty) and one member of Chinese Academy of Engineering. About 2600 students are enrolled in the School. Roughly half of them are enrolled in the undergraduate program, while the others are pursuing graduate degrees.
Since its establishment, the School has become an internationally recognized, prestigious education and research organization. It continuously boasts the best student recruitments, and produces more than 600 excellent graduates (half of them with M.S. and Ph.D. degrees) each year. Moreover, it has carried out numerous national key research and development projects. With average total funding of 100 million RMB every year, the School has become an important research driving force in the related fields. It has established numerous collaborations with many renowned universities and famous companies and industrial research labs, both domestically and internationally.
