在学校党委、行政的领导下,学院立足甘肃、面向干旱半干旱地区,突出农业院校工科专业特色和农业工程学科优势,实现规模、质量、结构、效益协调发展,更好地发挥教学、科研、社会服务三大功能,把学院建成与学校整体发展思路相协调、西部地区有重要影响的教学研究性学院。
Brief Introduction of College of Engineering
The college of engineering (CE)in Gansu agricultural university was founded in 2003 out of the merger of the former Department of mechanical and electrical engineering (founded in 1958)and the Department of water conservancy and hydropower engineering (founded in 1976),with the origins of the specialties or majors of Agricultural Mechanization and its Automation,Agricultural Water Conservancy Engineering,dated back to 1950s.Nowadays CE is the largest college in the undergraduate education of the whole university and has 8 undergraduate majors,which are Machine design and manufacturing and its automation,Agricultural mechanization and automation,Agricultural electrification and automation,Traffic and transportation,Agricultural water conservancy engineering,Water resource and hydropower engineering,Civil engineering etc.At present CE consists of 5 departments,3 experimental teaching center and 2 research institutes as follows.
Department of Mechanical and electronic Engineering
Department of Agricultural Machinery and Automobile Engineering
Department of Water Conservancy and Hydropower Engineering
Department of Civil Engineering
Fundamental Teaching Ministry
Experimental and Teaching Center of Mechanical and Electronic Engineering
Experimental and Teaching Center of Water Conservancy and Civil Engineering
Training Center of Mechanic Engineering
Institute of Mechanical and Electronic Engineering
Institute of Agricultural Water-saving Engineering and Technology in GAU
In addition CE also has more than ten practical teaching bases in and out of the campus of university.
The college has 3 master programs,and 2 research directions of second-level doctorate programs in 2nd level disciplines.
In 2001 Agricultural mechanization engineering program and the agricultural water and soil engineering program was authorized the master's degree gift by the State Council academic degree specialized authorization.In 2005.the first level discipline -Agricultural Engineering,which includes four second-level disciplines,was granted the master's degree authorization.Also agricultural extension master (agricultural mechanization domain)was allowed the specialized degree authorization in the same year.In 2006 the first level discipline- agricultural engineering became the provincial level key program.
In 2008.the total number of staff in CE is 74 including 11 professors,1 senior engineer and 20 associated professors,and 6 have doctorate degree,and more than 50 percent of academic staff are holding master’s degrees.
