Following a university-wide reorganization, the College of Engineering (COE), China Agricultural University(CAU), was founded in August 2002, by merging of the former colleges of Mechanical Engineering, Vehicle and Transportation Engineering and the Agricultural Engineering Academy. COE’s history can be traced back to 1952, when the Beijing Mechanized Agriculture College was founded. COE, taking teaching and researching as a core, is committed to develop highly qualified engineering disciplines and to bring up acquainted engineers with ability.
COE comprises 4 departments: Agricultural Engineering, Vehicle Engineering, Mechatronic Engineering and Mechanical Design & Manufacturing, respectively. Now, the staff number is 158, including 114 faculty members, 42 professors and 58 associate professors. Most of the faculty members possess doctoral degrees. In addition, there are 30 adjunct professors from various famous international and domestic universities and institutions. The total enrollment is over 1700 students, including 1150 undergraduates, 333 MSc. students and 226 Ph.D. students. The state key disciplines, the Agricultural Engineering and the Agricultural Mechanization Engineering, were recognized as a top priority by the state through funding from the '211' and '985' projects and have been consistently ranked No.1 in evaluations by the Ministry of Education in 2002, 2009 and 2012. Vehicle Engineering is the ministry level key discipline.
COE has 2 Post-Doctoral Programs which cover Agricultural Engineering and Mechanical Engineering. About 8 Graduate Programs are authorized to confer Ph.D. degree and MSc. degree, including Agricultural Engineering, Agricultural Mechanization Engineering, Agricultural Biological System Engineering, Vehicle Engineering, Mechatronic Engineering, Mechanical Manufacture and Automation, Mechanical Design and Theory, Processing and Storage of Agricultural Products. There are also 5 programs for Master Engineering: Agricultural Engineering, Mechanical Engineering; Vehicle Engineering, Project Management Engineering and Industrial Design Engineering, and 1 program for Master of Agriculture, named as Agricultural Mechanization. There are 6 BSc. Programs, which are Agricultural Engineering, Agricultural Mechanization and Automation, Mechatronic Engineering, Vehicle Engineering, Machine Manufacturing and Automation, Industrial Design. Plenty of opportunities are provided for students to gain practical hands-on experience through specialized experimental laboratories. Each year, there are many students who participate in the Undergraduate Research Program (URP) and the National Science and Technology Innovation Competition, winning many prizes. The employment rates of the graduates were the highest in CAU in past 10 years.
Currently, COE possesses a 23,000m 2 building and well equipped with advanced teaching, research and practical learning facilities, including 2 National Experimental Teaching Centers and 7 Ministry/Provincial level key R&D institutions.
During past decades, COE's innovation emphases have been laid on the areas of Development Strategy for Agricultural Mechanization, Conservation Tillage, Precision Farming, Farm Machine, Off-Road Vehicle, Agro-Robotics & Automation, Digital Design & Virtual Reality, Agro Product Processing, Nondestructive Detection and Machine Vision, Biomass Engineering etc.. Many faculty members have led and taken part in research projects of different levels. Among them, the state-level research projects were usually funded by the National Natural Science Foundation Commission, the Ministry of Science & Technology, the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Education, etc. Other projects have been sponsored by local governments and various industry enterprises. Some international cooperative projects were funded by European Framework Program, international organizations and industry groups. Every year, about 150 SCI/EI cited academic papers were published, about 120 invention patents were authorized, and many research and teaching prizes from national and provincial governments were awarded to faculty members. In fact, the very first patent of the People’s Republic of China came from COE.
International cooperation with learning and research has been a major objective for COE. Multinational or mutual academic links have been widely established with foreign universities and research organizations. Cooperative projects have been carried out with American, Japanese, European, Australian, and various international partners. The faculty members and students have benefited greatly from participating in international meetings, seminars, and workshops. COE and ABE at Purdue University, USA have established a special '2+2' Undergraduate Transfer Student Program based on existing model between the two universities. A Collaborative Professional Dual Masters Degree Program between COE and Agricultural Engineering Department of Harper Adams University, UK is in operation. COE and University of Tennessee & Oak Ridge National Laboratory have established China-US 100-PhD Program of Environment and Energy. Nowadays, COE holds an esteemed international reputation, partly due to these cooperation and exchange activities.
