The institute has eight disciplines including Electronic Science and Technology, Information and Communication Engineering, Computer Science and Technology, Control Science and Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Instrument Science and Technology, Management Science and Engineering, and Data Science and Information Technology. Based on these disciplines, a comprehensive information ecosystem spanning sensing, communication, computing and control is established, forming a complete technological chain encompassing hardware, software, and intelligent manufacturing.
Emphasizing the characteristics of "intelligence" and "systematicness" for emerging engineering disciplines, disciplinary barriers are broken down and three distinctive cross-disciplinary clusters of "Control and Logistics," "Electronics and Computing," and "Precision Instruments and Mechanical Engineering" have been developed, which are highly integrated and mutually reinforcing. These clusters robustly support three strategic development focuses of "Embodied AI and Systems", "AI plus X", and "Intelligent Instrument and Equipment".
