History

Renowned as China's cradle for the national electronic industry, the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China (formerly Chengdu Institute of Radio Engineering) is situated at Chengdu, the city of over a thousand-year-old cultural history in "the land of abundance". In 1956, instructed by Premier Zhou Enlai, UESTC was founded on the basis of the incorporation of electronic divisions of the then three universities including Jiaotong Universities, Nanjing Institute of Technology and South China Institute of Technology. As one of the seven earliest key universities in national defense, UESTC became one of the nation's key universities in 1960. Then, in 1997 it was included as one of the first universities into "Project 211", a project in China for developing 100 first-class universities and a number of key fields of research for the 21st century. In 2001, UESTC was admitted into the nation's Project 985, receiving special support for developing world-class universities and world-famous research-oriented universities.

Academics

Fifty years of efforts and cultivations have witnessed the University's process from sole dependence on electronic information engineering to all-around programs in electronic disciplines, and the University now turns out to be a key multidisciplinary university with electronic science and technology as its nucleus, engineering as its major field and featured the harmonious integration of science, engineering, management, and liberal arts, well prepared at the call of the history to come up as a high-level research-oriented university.

In the new century, electronic information science and technology as the lead for modern high-tech development demonstrates a more swift and violent stance. In face of the new changes and challenges, the staff of the University will hold on its notion of "to seek facts and truth, to be noble and ambitious" in the pursuit of excellence and embark on the journey to a more glorious future.

About Chengdu

Chengdu, located in the southwest People's Republic of China, is the capital of Sichuan province and a sub-provincial city..... Chengdu is also one of the most important economic centers, transportation and communication hubs in Southwestern China. According to the 2007 Public Appraisal for Best Chinese Cities for Investment, Chengdu was chosen as one of the top ten cities to invest in out of a total of 280 urban centers in China. More than four thousand years ago, the prehistoric Bronze Age culture of Jinsha established itself in this region. The fertile Chengdu Plain, on which Chengdu is located, is called Tianfuzhi Guo in Chinese, which literally means "the country of heaven", or more often seen translated as "the Land of Abundance". It was recently named China's 4th-most livable city by China Daily.

Chengdu, a city where once you come, you would be reluctant to leave.....Chengdu, the capital city of Sichuan province is the home of the Giant Panda, the center of science and technology, culture, trade, tourism, and transportation in the southwest area of China. Situated in the southwest of China, the Sichuan province has a large population with coverage of 485 thousand square kilometers. It boasts a long history, splendid culture, and over 4500 years’ civilization. Having ancient temples, ancient towns and scenic spots, Sichuan also houses the world cultural heritages including Jiuzhai Valley, Mt.
