Control Science and Engineering

Overview

The very first activity in this field can be traced back to the 1940s with the major of Railway Signal Control. In the 1960s the major of railway automation was established, and graduate education was initiated in 1978. In 2010, CSE was authorized to confer doctoral degrees as a first-level discipline. 

The Control Science and Engineering programme is offered by Southwest Jiaotong University.

CSE is also one of the key disciplines of Sichuan province, to which the School of Electrical Engineering, the School of Transportation and Logistics, the School of Information Science and Technology, and the Intelligent Control and Simulation Engineering Research Center contribute in different second-level disciplines.

Focusing on the area of traffic automation and intelligent traffic control and the associated great demand from the aspects of high-speed railway, heavy haul railway and urban rail transit, the discipline of CSE aims to perform studies on basic theory and innovation technology, to cultivate technology leaders and engineering talents, serve the society actively, and guide the direction of the development of traffic automation and intelligent traffic control.
