Program Overview
'Integrated Circuit Design and Integrated System', the predecessor of 'Microelectronics Science and Engineering', was founded in 1958, which was one of the first ten engineering universities to establish this major in China. It has undergone changes in the major names of 'Semiconductor Physics and Devices', 'Microelectronics Technology', 'Electronic Science and Technology'.
In 2004,National Integrated Circuit Talents Training Base was approved. In 2006, 'Integrated Circuit Designand Integrated System' was approved as a national characteristic major. In 2011, Excellent Engineer Program of Electronic Science and Technology was approved. In 2015, National Demonstration School of Microelectronics was approved.
In 2019, Guangdong Demonstration Industry College was approved as the first batch. In 2021, the university was approved as the first batch of 'IntegratedCircuit Science and Engineering' doctoraldegree-granting institutions in China. At present, this major has developed a cultivate system including Bachelor-Master-Ph.D degree.
Inheriting the tradition of Professor Feng Bingquan's emphasis on teaching reform, the long-term explorations of education and teaching reforms have been undertaken and the remarkable results were achieved. The training of students is strongly supported by the industry.Presently, a lot of internship bases with the leading enterprises have been set up, such as Huawei,ZTE, Haige Communications,Cansemi, AscenPower, Primarius, Empyrean, Smarter Micro, Anyka Microelectronics, Allwinner,JIELI Technology, GOWIN, CEPREI, etc.
