Guilin Institute of Machinery, the predecessor of Guilin University of Electronic Technology, was founded in 1960. The school has been renamed as Guilin Mechanical Industry School, Guilin Radio School and Guilin Institute of Electronic Industry, and it is affiliated to Fourth Ministry of machinery industry, Ministry of Electronic Industry, Ministry of Mechanical and Electronic Industry, China Electronic Industry Corporation and Ministry of Information Industry. In 2000, the management system was changed to a combination of central and local governments, with local management as the mainstay. It is one of the key universities in Guangxi. In February 2006, the Ministry of Education agreed that Guilin University of Electronic Technology should be renamed Guilin University of Electronic Technology.
Since the establishment of the school, generations of people in Guidian have been striving for self-improvement and hard work, and the school has continued to grow and develop under difficult conditions. Especially since its establishment, school education has achieved sustained, rapid and healthy development, from a single engineering college to a multidisciplinary university with outstanding advantages in electronic information and coordinated development of multiple disciplines. At present, the school covers an area of 1837 1 10,000 square meters, and the school building area is 613600 square meters, which is divided into west campus, east campus and Yaoshan campus. The planned land area of Yaoshan Campus is 6,000 mu, and the first phase of the project has been partially completed and put into use. After the completion, Yaoshan Campus will become an ecological digital campus with the characteristics of Guilin landscape and Guidian discipline. The school has 15 teaching units, 18 research institutes and 1 affiliated middle schools. The library has 9 1, 365290 volumes, Chinese and foreign periodicals 1, 788 kinds, Chinese and foreign electronic periodicals 1, 53 14 Chinese and foreign electronic literature databases, etc. As one of the first 100 universities to enter China Education and Research Network, the campus network plays an increasingly important role in teaching, research and management.
At present, the school has 39 undergraduate majors, 34 master's degree-granting disciplines, 7 master's degree fields and 1 joint doctoral program. At present, the school has more than 7000 full-time students/kloc-0. Among the teachers, masters and doctors account for 66.4%, and senior titles account for 30%. There are 15 professors employed as doctoral supervisors by key universities such as Shanghai Jiaotong University, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China and xidian university. After years of construction, a group of academic echelons with reasonable structure, complementary advantages, unity and cooperation and courage to tackle key problems have been formed with academic leaders as the core. Among them, there are 34 experts who enjoy the special allowance of the State Council, 5 national excellent teachers, 6 experts with outstanding contributions at the provincial and ministerial levels, the national "100 million talents project" candidate 1 person, the Guangxi 100 million talents project candidate1person, and 9 young and middle-aged academic leaders in Guangxi universities.
The school has 7 key disciplines of the Ministry of Information Industry and 4 key disciplines of the autonomous region. Four provincial key laboratories and five key laboratories in Guangxi universities have entered the domestic advanced ranks in the fields of information and communication engineering, control theory and control engineering, mechatronics engineering, materials science and engineering. During the Tenth Five-Year Plan period, * * * undertook 5 1 national scientific research projects such as the National "863" Project, the National Natural Science Foundation Project and the National Electronic Information Industry Development Fund Project; Undertake 84 national defense science and technology projects, 187 provincial and ministerial research funds and key scientific and technological projects; * * * 43 awards, including 5 national science and technology progress awards and 5 national defense science and technology progress awards.
The school pays attention to strengthening students' innovative spirit and innovative practice education. In 2005, the project "Construction and Practice Research of College Students' Innovative Practice Base" won the second prize of national teaching achievement. In 2003, "College Students' Innovation Practice Base" was named as "National Youth Science and Technology Innovation Demonstration Base" by the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League and all-china youth federation. Students have made great achievements in "Challenge Cup" National Undergraduate Extracurricular Academic Science and Technology Works Competition, National Undergraduate Electronic Design Competition, National Undergraduate Mathematical Modeling Competition and National Undergraduate robot contest. Among them, 200 1 won the highest prize "Sony Cup" in the National Electronic Design Competition for College Students; Participated in the third robocon in 2004, ranking fifth; In 2004, he won the championship of robot contest Dance Robot Competition in Binzhou City; In 2005, he won the Best Creative Award of robot contest Dance robot contest. In 2006, he won the first prize in the National College Students' Mechanical Innovation Design Competition; In 2007, he won the second prize in the American (International) Mathematical Modeling Competition for College Students.
