The School of Information Science and Engineering (SISE) was established in 1992,formerly known as the Department of Computer Science (1992-1994) and then the Department of Computer Science and Engineering (1994-2007). The School of Mathematics and Physics (SMP), originated from the Department of Basic Courses (1978-2000) and then the Department of Information Science (2000-2007), was founded in May 1978.In April 2014, SISE andSMPwere co-located and combined into one in order to improve education efficiency and quality and strengthen the construction of disciplines by optimizingtwo schools’ teaching and research resource allocation.
The school (SISE & SMP) consists of:
Department of Basic Courses
Department of Mathematics
Department of Electronic Science
Department of Computer Science and Engineering
Department of Software Engineering
Department of Electronic Information and Engineering
Department of Automation
Information Technology Experiment Center
The 8 undergraduate programs are:
Information and Computing Science
Mathematics and Applied Mathematics
Electronic Science and Technology
Computer Science and Technology
Automation
Electronic Information Engineering
Software Engineering
Internet of Things
At present, the school has a provincial featured major (Computer Science and Technology), a key cultivating discipline (Computer Science & Technology and Software Engineering) included in “The 12th Five-Year Plan” of Jiangsu Province, three majors in the provincial embedded talent training project, and three pilot majors (Computer Science and Technology, Automation, Electronic Information Engineering) in “Outstanding Engineers Training Plan of Jiangsu Province”. The major, Computer Science and Technology, has been rated as four-star major on Zhongping Ranking List; two majors (Computer Science and Technology, Software Engineering) rated as B+majors on Wushulian Ranking List for consecutive years.
The school now has 157 faculty and staff members, including 25 professors, 45 associate professors, 4 doctoral supervisors and 45 master’s instructors. Among 131 professional teachers, 45.8% have Doctor’s degree and 95.4% have Master’s degree and above, with two teachers enjoying the national government special allowance, one selected into the “Six Talent Peaks Project”, two into the “333 High Level Talent Training Project”, one academic leader of “Green Blue Project” among young and middle-aged scientists, ten outstanding young teachers of “Green Blue Project” of Jiangsu Province. Nearly 30 teachers have overseas academic background, such as in USA, Canada, Singapore, Australia, Japan, and the Great Britain.
More than 1600 undergraduates and 150 postgraduates are learning in the school now.
The school is well equipped with advanced facilities for teaching, experiments and research. Its experiment building area is more than 13000 square meters in total with over 30 million RMB worth of instrument and equipment. It has a provincial teaching practice center (Changzhou University—Chinasoft International Practice Education Center), two provincial experiment teaching demonstration centers (Electronic Information Technology Experiment Center, Basic Physics Experiment Center), whichnot only possess multifunctional IBED equipment, high vacuum three target magnetron co sputtering coating system, the complete set of equipment for making and testing solar cells, Dawn parallel computers, binocular vision robot development platform, EEG acquisition system, process control object and HART instrument, intelligent wireless sensor network, and ultra high frequency oscilloscope, but also provide more than a dozen of genuine software for teaching and scientific research, which has laid a good foundation for the education of talents and the industry-university-research cooperation.
The school puts strong emphasis on the discipline development and scientific research. It has:
2 primary master’s degree programs (Computer Science and Technology, and Electronic Science and Technology)
2 provincial research centers
2 municipal key laboratories
One-thousand-grade clean room
In recent five years, the teachers in the school have undertaken and completed 33 national scientific research projects, 30 of which are supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China, as well as other hundreds of research projects including 36 provincial or ministerial-level projects, 60 municipal-level projects, and more than 250 horizontal programs supported by large state-owned enterprises such as Sinopec and PetroChina, with total research fund over 50 million RMB. The faculty of the school has published 140 SCI papers including 5 papers in Nature Index, more than 340 EI papers and 2 monographs. Nearly 400 invention patents have been filed or licensed, including more than 80 national patents and 20 national practical new-type ones, winning over 13 awards at provincial-level and above.
The school has made prominent achievements in teaching and research, with one special award and two second prizes of provincial teaching achievement. Besides, three excellent courses have been approved in Jiangsu Province; 30 textbooks and reference books published including one national-level excellent textbook; two textbooks listed in “National 11th 5-Year-Plan” and five provincial key textbooks authorized. 9 teaching research projects have been carried out at provincial level and above; more than 20 papers published in core journals. One student has won the first prize of Provincial Excellent Undergraduate Design (Thesis) of Jiangsu Province.
The school attaches great importance to the cultivation of students’ innovative ability. The school has made outstanding achievements in all kinds of competitions, such as:
National College “Challenge Cup” Competition (one third prize)
China Undergraduate & Graduate Mathematical Contest in Modeling (MCM) (8 first prizes and 30 second prizes)
National College Electronic Design Contest (one second prize)
Certificate Authority Cup International Mathematical Contest in Modeling（one outstanding winner for guidance）
ACM-ICPC(Shanghai, Asia)(one bronze medal)
National College Freescale Cup Intelligent Car Contest (5 second prizes)
National Robot Contest (9 first prizes)
National Intelligent Car Contest (2 second prizes)
National College “Siemens Cup” Industrial Automation Challenge (2 first and 3 second prizes)
National College Internet Application Innovation Contest (one first prize and one second prize)
Jiangsu College Physics and Experiment Innovation Contest (40 first, second and third prizes)
Jiangsu Higher Mathematics Competition (50 first prizes)
Bearing the motto of responsibility and striving for excellence, the school spares no effort to produce high-quality graduates and provide intellectual support to serve the local economy and social development better, with school’s annual employment rate of graduates at 98% and above.
