Introduction to The College of Mechanical and Electronic Engineering 

The College of Mechanical and Electronic Engineering of Nanjing Forestry University traces its history back to 1958, which was established in forestry machinery department. The college recruited its first undergraduate students in 1958 and set up different departments in 1960. College of Mechanical Engineering was established in January 1994 and renamed as College of Mechanical and Electronic Engineering in July 1997.

The college currently has 135 faculty members, including 20 professors, 55 associate professors, 1 special allowance from the State Council, 1 national teaching master, 1 young and middle-aged expert with outstanding contributions from the Ministry of Forestry and Jiangsu Province, and 1 national Huang Danian style teacher team; There is one scientific research and innovation team from universities in Jiangsu Province, two excellent teaching teams from the "Blue and Green Project", and 27 trainees from the "333 Project", "Six Talent Peaks", "Blue and Green Project" in Jiangsu Province. In the past five years, we have won one second prize for national scientific and technological progress, one second prize for national teaching achievements, two second prizes for scientific and technological progress from the Ministry of Education, and undertaken more than 60 national, provincial, and ministerial level projects such as the National Key Research and Development Program and the National Natural Science Foundation.

The college currently offers five undergraduate majors: Mechanical Design, Manufacturing and Automation, Mechanical and Electronic Engineering, Automation, Robotics Engineering, and Intelligent Manufacturing Engineering. Among them, Mechanical Design, Manufacturing and Automation, Mechanical and Electronic Engineering, and Automation are national first-class undergraduate major construction points, all of which have passed the national engineering education professional certification. Robotics engineering and intelligent manufacturing engineering are new engineering majors, with over 3000 undergraduate students and more than 400 graduate students currently enrolled.

The college currently has a doctoral program in the first level discipline of "Mechanical Engineering", a postdoctoral research station in "Mechanical Engineering", a master's program in the first level discipline of "Control Science and Engineering", and a master's program in the first level discipline of "Power Engineering and Engineering Thermophysics" (in the direction of chemical process machinery). In addition, there are master's programs in mechanical engineering and control engineering. Among them, the discipline of "Mechanical Engineering" is a key discipline of Class A in Jiangsu Province during the 14th Five Year Plan period and a key discipline of the National Forestry and Grassland Administration.

The college has departments including Forestry Machinery, Mechanical Manufacturing Engineering, Mechanical and Electronic Engineering, Mechanical and Electronic Engineering, Automation, Robotics Engineering, Mechanical Design Fundamentals Teaching and Research Office, Engineering Graphics Teaching and Research Office, and Mechanics Teaching and Research Office. It has established a national level virtual simulation experimental teaching center for modern forestry technology equipment, 5 provincial engineering centers, and a virtual simulation sharing platform. It has cooperated with more than 20 enterprises to establish graduate workstations and practical demonstration bases, and has established 3 experimental teaching centers for mechanical foundation, mechanical engineering, automation and measurement and control technology, as well as 1 comprehensive training center for mechanical and electrical innovation for university students. Advanced teaching and research equipment and complete facilities provide strong support for students' scientific research and innovative practice.

The college has established long-term cooperative relationships with universities and institutions in foreign countries such as the United States, Germany, Canada, Australia, Sweden, and South Korea. The joint international exchange program for excellent undergraduate students has achieved significant results. And successfully held influential international conferences such as the Sino German Symposium and IEEE Robotics and Humans, broadening students' international perspectives.

After more than 60 years of development, the college has gradually formed an educational advantage characterized by forestry machinery and equipment, with a focus on intelligent manufacturing engineering. It has also formed seven characteristic research teams, including forestry machinery and equipment engineering, modern mechanical design and theory, advanced manufacturing technology, intelligent electromechanical equipment, control theory and control engineering, detection technology and automation devices, pattern recognition and intelligent systems, etc. It has obvious advantages and strong competitiveness in forestry equipment, intelligent detection and control, and other fields.
