With a focus on basic science and engineering applications, HIT’s School of Electrical Engineering and Automation (SEEA) addresses national strategic needs in aerospace, high-end manufacturing, transportation, and clean energy.
SEEA is particularly known for its research on electric driving in extreme environments. By improving design methods of electrical machines and control technologies of drives, SEEA researchers have developed special electrical machine systems with high precision, a large speed range, and high resistance to extreme environments. The electrical machine systems have been used in manned spaceflight, deep-space, deep-sea, and deep-Earth explorations, high-end computer numerical control (CNC) machines, and industrial robots, and have won the second prize of China’s State Technological Invention Award.
SEEA has also supported China’s major infrastructure construction with its research and development of high-precision automatic devices, highly reliable electric appliances, and advanced electromagnetic control facilities. SEEA will keep working at intelligent manufacturing, smart energy and smart city for broad societal benefits.
