The School originated from the Department of Physics of Fuzhou Normal College founded in 1958. When Minjiang University was established in February 2002, it was renamed the Department of Physics and Electronic Information Engineering (abbreviated as Electronic Department). In June 2018, it was renamed the School of Physics and Electronic Information Engineering (abbreviated as SPEIE). In March 2026, as the university was renamed Minjiang University, the School was officially renamed School of Physics and Electronic Information Engineering, Minjiang University.
The School consists of basic administrative units including the Department of Electronic Information Engineering, Department of Electrical Engineering and Automation, Department of Electronic Science and Technology, Department of Intelligent Manufacturing, and Experimental Teaching Center. Oriented to application scenarios including autonomous navigation, low-altitude economy, new energy and healthcare, the School focuses on six development directions: intelligent perception & autonomous navigation, optoelectronic systems & information processing, new energy storage & control, electromechanical systems & intelligent control, medical information processing, and complex network dynamics & applications. It actively carries out talent cultivation, scientific research, social services, cultural inheritance and innovation, as well as international exchanges and cooperation.
The School offers undergraduate programs including Electronic Information Engineering, Electronic Science and Technology, Electrical Engineering and Automation, Mechatronic Engineering, and Robotics Engineering, together with postgraduate programs in Electronic Information. Among them, Electronic Information Engineering and Electrical Engineering and Automation are Provincial First-class Undergraduate Specialty Construction Sites. In addition, the School has built provincial and municipal research platforms, including Fujian Provincial Engineering Research Center for Intelligent Navigation Safety Control of Ships, Fujian University Engineering Research Center for Electronic Information and Control, and Fuzhou Municipal Industry Technology Innovation Center for Intelligent Transformation and Digital Upgrading of Machinery Manufacturing Equipment.
The School currently has 1,518 enrolled students, including 1,479 undergraduates and 39 postgraduates. It has 110 faculty and staff members, among whom are 82 full-time teachers. There are 43 teachers with senior professional titles (accounting for 52.4%), 57 teachers with doctoral degrees (accounting for 69.5%), 38 double-qualified and double-competent teachers, and 23 provincial-level talents.
The School carries out university-enterprise cooperation to jointly cultivate applied talents. It has built internship and training bases with 22 institutions including Star-Net Ruijie Co., Ltd., Newland Science & Technology Group Co., Ltd., Fujian Shengxing Group Co., Ltd., National Special Robot Product Quality Supervision and Inspection Center (Fujian), Fujian Snowman Co., Ltd., and Fujian Lao’an Equipment Technology Development Co., Ltd. It has established educational internship bases with 6 middle schools including Fuzhou Xuze Middle School, Fuzhou No.10 Middle School, Fuzhou No.11 Middle School, Minjiang University Affiliated Middle School, and Fuzhou High-tech Zone No.1 Middle School.
The School’s scientific research and innovation capacity has been continuously improved. In the past three years, the School has obtained 173 new research projects of various types, including 91 new vertical projects (9 national projects and 34 provincial and ministerial projects) and 82 new horizontal projects. It has published 180 new academic papers, won 3 new provincial scientific research awards, obtained 196 new patents and software copyrights, and completed 81 achievement transfers and transformations.
Looking to the future, guided by Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era and fully implementing the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the School will adhere to the school-running characteristics dominated by emerging engineering education. Taking the important speeches and instructions delivered by General Secretary Xi Jinping during his inspection tour of the university as fundamental guidelines, the School will keep its mission in mind, forge ahead with determination, and make unremitting efforts to build the university into a first-class applied university. It will make due contributions to Fuzhou’s accelerated development into a modern international city, the Fujian chapter of building a great modern socialist country in all respects, and the comprehensive advancement of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
