Enrollment Advantage
Zhejiang University of Science and Technology-Rockwell Automation Comprehensive Laboratory was established under the support of Rockwell Automation, a world-famous company, in 2015. It is an automation engineering application base, which can provide theoretical teaching and engineering practice platform for the majors of robotics engineering, automation, electrical engineering, and its automation. It has 20 sets of PLC control experiment, asynchronous motor drive control experiment, and servo motor control experimental device each, and 3 sets of college student competition training equipment.
Students are assigned their personal mentors to guide in course selection, to suggest career path, to provide additional resources and laboratory access, to supervise after-class hands-on projects and competitions, to arrange on-campus part-time positions and industry internship opportunities. Our graduates have achieved excellent GPA performance and numerous competition awards, scholarships, and honors.
Extensive practical platforms and interactive teaching methods
By taking this educational program, the students will be able to acquire a solid basis of specialized knowledge and practical engineering skills. This major has a sound record of winning the championships of the nationwide robot contests in recent years, which will benefit those interested students. The department has a great variety of experimental instruments and devices that will also help students enhance their manipulative ability. The Department-Enterprise Cooperation Bases such as the SUPCON Tech. Co. Ltd., Holley Tech. Co. Ltd, MEACON Automation Ltd. etc provide a series of opportunities for extensive practical technical or marketing training.
Long-standing international academic cooperation and intensive collaboration with local enterprises
The department has a long history of international cooperation with universities in Germany and the US, and has yearly exchange visiting teachers and students. The professors and tutors have rich overseas experience in teaching and conducting scientific research, or have long-term industrial experience at enterprises. Students will have good opportunities to practice or conduct an internship at local well-known enterprises.

Currently, many countries have realized the importance of robots and have raised their ambitious plan on introducing more robots into the industry, the economy, and other related areas. Germany invented the phase “Industry 4.0” and China also proposed “Intelligent manufacture 2020.” Thus, the research and application on robots is highly promising to be prosperous and has only made a successful start of an even brighter future, creating a lot of practice and job opportunities. The Robotic Technology and Artificial Intelligence are in rapid development, and therefore all kinds of new intelligent systems such as industrial robotics, the internet of Things, vehicular networking, unmanned vehicles, unmanned aerial vehicles emerge endlessly, which requires many robotics engineering talents, maintaining an optimistic prospect of employment.
After four years of study in Robotics Engineering, approximately half of the graduates start a career in the industry, qualified as system engineers, hardware engineers, algorithm engineers or project managers, who can go to the robotics, electronics, artificial intelligent, information technology companies such as HUAWEI, Panasonic, SIEMENS, Rockwell, Alibaba, Supcon, Media, GREE etc.
The other graduates continue to pursue postgraduate studies, in universities around China and overseas, e.g. in Europe. Their excellent academic performance and extra-curricular activities give them an overwhelming advantage in scholarship applications. And many graduates proceed to pursue a master’s degree at our own AEE school with familiar supervisors.
Employment Prospects
By completing the program, graduates will have a diverse recruitment prospect in many relevant industrial areas including, but not limited to: electronics, optics, electrical engineering, robot technology, photoelectric instrumentation, photoelectric detection technology, precision measurement technology, automation, artificial intelligence and embedded computer science, depending on their interests and personal skills. They can conduct scientific and technological research, industrial practice and carry out various experiments in related high-tech enterprises such as SUPCON, HOLLEY, MEACON, BOSCH, BMW, SIEMENS, HUAWEI, PHILIPS, Midea, GREE, etc. and in research institutes or related higher education institutions.
