In the ever held NUEDC, HIT School of Electrical Engineering & Automation has always achieved excellent results. The key to success mainly lies in its Student Science Association “IUP Science and Technology Innovation Base”. To improve electronic undergraduates’ professional capability, the base, under the principle of “Gathering Talents, Building Dreams”, is persistent to hold beneficial activities to stimulate students’ enthusiasm for electrical innovation, trainings on the freshmen’s basic electronic knowledge, school- wide electrical and electronic skills contests, various lectures on science and technology innovation, to name just a few. The base is very productive, cultivating lots of innovational talents like ZHANG Zhendong, GONG Jia peng. The first prize winner of 2011 NUEDC XUE Shengjun is also a member of this Base.
Sponsored by the Department of Higher Education, Ministry of Education and the Personnel Department, Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, NUEDC is a university students-oriented popular science activity, aiming at promoting universities to conduct Information and Electronics curriculum reforms and helping students cultivate a sense of innovation and team sprite. The contest, with an emphasis on putting theory into practice, has attracted and encouraged lots of students to participate the part-time science and technology activities by which talents get the chance of standing out.
