School of Technology is an engineering-based college of education research pattern which was founded in 1958, aiming at cultivating high-level engineering talent. With more than fifty years’ development and construction, the college has 4 undergraduate majors now - mechanical design manufacturing and automation, automation, electrical engineering and automation, vehicle engineering. Mechanical design and manufacturing and automation is a national-level features professional. The college possesses a high level team for teaching and research, having 85 staffs in service (including 60 full-time teachers), 13 professors (including 10 doctoral supervisors), 28 associate professors, 19 lecturers. There are 15 laboratory technicians, including 4 senior laboratory technicians. The college has 1275 undergraduates, 212 graduate students, including 41 PhD students.
School sets mechanical engineering first level doctoral disciplines (including four secondary disciplines–mechanical design and theory, mechanical manufacturing and automation, mechanical and electrical engineering, vehicle engineering), forest engineering doctoral subject, control theory and control engineering subject, and post-doctoral mobile stations of forestry project. The two subjects (mechanical engineering, control theory and control engineering) have professional master's degree award authority among them, and the forest engineering subject is the key discipline of Beijing.
The college has a high level modern undergraduate experiment practice center at the service of teaching, scientific research and subject construction with advanced experimental instruments and equipment at home and abroad, such as the laboratories of institutional design and innovation, modern manufacturing technology, vehicle engineering, robot innovation and so on. Forestry engineering equipment and technology experimental teaching center is the institution of higher learning experimental teaching demonstration center of Beijing. There are a lot of research laboratories, such as forestry special equipment laboratory with the environment, human factor and safety lab, accurate water-saving irrigation control laboratory, forest fire fighting and rescue equipment laboratory and so on.
In recent 10 years, relying on science and technology innovation team, the college undertakes the important scientific research projects of National Natural Science Foundation of China, National High-tech R&D Program of China (863 Program), National Key Technologies R & D Program of China, Forestry Industry Research Special Funds for Public welfare Projects and, National Recommend International Advanced Agricultural Science and Technology Project of The State Bureau of Forest (948 project). The college undertakes a large number of national, provincial, international cooperation and joint research project. The college students have participated in relevant national, provincial scientific research innovation projects, winning a lot of awards in the related science and technology competition.
The college carrys out foreign academic exchanges actively, has sent teachers to the United States, Germany, England and other countries to further access and cooperative research, and has invited and host experts of America, Germany, Canada to do academic exchanges. Scientific research achievements transformations of forest logging equipment, forestry inspection, accurate irrigation and forestry machine have created good social benefits. Since now, there are more than 10000 professionals for nation and society.
