Engenharia Eletrônica (Bacharelado)

The Department of Electronic Engineering has a history of more than 50 years, and its former specialties were semiconductor, radio wave and electronics. With the growing population of both undergraduate and postgraduate students, the department now has a rapid development and covers the disciplines of microelectronic, solid state electronics, optoelectronics, circuits & systems, sensors & actuators. The department looks forward to challenge ahead and becomes more competitive in the university system.

The faculty and research staffs are experts in the fields of electronics, and they provide our students with the necessary knowledge and skills to meet the challenges of the rapidly changing information age. We make every effort to explore the potential of each student and develop his interests and aspirations. In parallel, our highly successful courses and continuing professional research work supply the need to keep pace with the latest technology.

The teaching programs have been carefully designed with constant revision and enhancement. The syllabus is continually under development and review, in line with the requirements of the latest technological needs of industry. Required courses in the system integrate technological skills with theoretical disciplines, and are designed to help students keep up with technical progresses and applications. As an extension, elective courses offer students with advanced ideas, flexibility and interdisciplinary communications.

With solid foundation and good training in the areas of electrical engineering, the graduates are eligible in the following fields: electronic material, solid state electronics, devices, optoelectronics, integrated circuit design, and sensor application.

Our research groups include Microelectronic and Solid State Electronics, Optoelectronics, Circuits & Systems, and Sensors & Applications. The group members engage in a wide range of research areas such as photonic materials, optoelectronics system, nano-electronics, silicon processing & manufacturing technologies, electronic circuit simulation, IC design, and sensor’s applications, etc. Our team of faculty offers strong support for the research postgraduates. The usual study period is 3 years for a MSc and 5 years for a PhD. Financial support is provided by the Ministry of Education, the National Science Foundation of China, and other research organizations. We also have close contact with the industry which ensures that our research will meet the current needs.

Wuhan University (WHU) is a comprehensive and key national university directly under the administration of the Ministry of Education. It is also one of the "211 Project" and "985 Project" universities with full support in the construction and development from the central and local government of China.

The history of Wuhan University can be traced back to Ziqiang Institute, which was founded in 1893 by Zhang Zhidong, the then governor of Hubei Province and Hunan Province in the late Qing Dynasty. In the process of development and evolution, the institute changed its name several times before it was finally named Wuhan National University in 1928. It is one of the earliest comprehensive national universities in modern China. By the end of 1946, the university had established 6 colleges, the colleges of liberal art, law, sciences, engineering, agriculture and medicine. In 2000, an amalgamation of the former Wuhan University, Wuhan University of Hydraulic and Electric Engineering, Wuhan Technical University of Surveying and Mapping, and Hubei Medical University was announced, which ushered in a new era in its 100-odd years of development.

For the past century, Wuhan University has built an elegant palatial architectural complex of primitive simplicity which blends perfectly the eastern architectural style with that of the west. It is honored as the "Most Beautiful University in China." Furthermore, Wuhan University's centennial humanistic accumulation boils down to its succinct motto, that is, "Self-improvement, Perseverance, Truth-seeking & Innovation."

Since its establishment, Wuhan University has cultivated more than 300 thousand professional talents in various occupations, among whom there are over 100 members of the Chinese Academy of Science and the Chinese Academy of Engineering. They have made great contribution to the national construction and social advancement. The remarkable achievements of Wuhan University have won itself an extensive international reputation. In 1999, the world renowned journal Science listed Wuhan University as one of the most prominent institutions of higher education in China.

Burgeoning are the international exchanges and cooperation of Wuhan University in recent years. It has established cooperative relationship with more than 415 universities and research institutes in over 45 countries and regions.

Now Wuhan University is endeavoring to shape itself into a world-class comprehensive research university domestically and internationally.
