Peking University Institute of Aerospace Engineering was established in 2008, initially in the Department of Mechanics and Aerospace Technology, Aerospace Dynamics and Control Laboratory, etc. On 20 10, the Department of Aerospace Engineering of Peking University Institute of Technology was established to recruit and train undergraduate, master and doctoral students in aerospace engineering, and also recruit postdoctoral students. Peking University Institute of Advanced Technology also has a series of aerospace scientific research institutions: Aerospace Information Engineering Research Center, Aerospace Intelligent System Research Center, Aerospace Exploration Environment and Technology Research Center, and Aerospace Radio Wave Technology Research Center. , mainly for the research of space projects.
In addition, Peking University and Beihang University jointly established the Peking University Engineering Research Institute. As a part of Peking University Teaching, Scientific Research, Technology Development and Innovation Group, the Institute will inject new vitality into improving the scientific and academic level, comprehensive school-running strength and efficiency, and creating a world-class university. The Institute will take high-tech engineering as its main research direction, comprehensive, interdisciplinary and emerging disciplines as its main growth points, implement the combination of Industry-University-Research, strive to improve the scientific research and high-tech development level of the two universities, cultivate high-level engineering and technical personnel with innovative spirit and practical ability, and serve China's economic construction, scientific and technological progress and social development. Peking University Engineering Research Institute is located in Beihang University and is under the dual leadership of Peking University and Beihang University. The Engineering Research Institute consists of relevant research institutes, centers and laboratories of Beihang University and Peking University, and gradually establishes a number of new joint research institutions. The Institute implements the dean responsibility system under the leadership of the Council, which is composed of the heads of relevant state ministries and commissions and relevant leaders of the two universities. The chairman concurrently holds the post of President Peking University, who also holds the post of President of Beihang University. Each school chooses a vice president (including Beihang University as the executive vice president). The college has also established academic committees and hospital committees.
