计算机与信息学院进一步完善应用型人才培养体系，经过广泛调研和吸收省内外同行院校的相关专业培养方案和本科培养工作经验，制订出了契合计算机与信息学院专业实际、适应社会需要、培养学生综合素质和能力的本科培养方案。积极推进教学二级管理，加强计算机与信息学院教学运行过程的管理与监控。逐步推进和完善了课堂教学评价检查机制，形成了教师重视教学质量的良好风气。计算机与信息学院学生在全国性和地区性以及学校的各种活动中表现突出，取得可喜的成绩。学生科研创新成绩显著。取得国家、省级各类奖项近百项。近年来各专业毕业生一次就业率保持在95%以上。
The School of Computer and Information was formerly the Department of Computer Science and Engineering. It established the major of “Computer Application”and started to admit junior college students to the major in 1992. In 1995, it started to admit students to its undergraduate program of Computer Science and Technology, and from 2000 to 2002 it was approved to start enrolling students to its Information and Computation Science Undergraduate Program and Information Management and Information System Undergraduate Program. In 2012,2013 and 2018, it started to admit students to its undergraduate program of Software Engineering,The Internet of Things and Data Science and Big Data Technology. Approved by the Ministry of Education, it started the master program of Computer Application Technology in 2006 and also received the first level Master’s degree in Software Engineering in 2018.The school seized the opportunities in different historical stages and maintained a good momentum of development in areas including teaching and research, discipline construction and talent cultivation, and has formed distinctive features of its own.
Currently, there is a basic education division, a laboratory center, a Research Institute of Computer Application Technology,a Big Data and Artificial Intelligence Institute and three departments(Computer Science and Engineering, Software Engineering, Information Management Engineering). There are 93% full-time faculty members have a master or PhD degree. Also, the school provides computer foundation courses for the whole university.
In recent years, while building up the master program of“Computer Application Technology”, the school has set up 5 research laboratories (Lab of machine vision and intelligent control, Lab of cloud computing and big data, Lab of computer network and embedded system,Lab of machine intelligence and pattern recognition, Lab of software technology and services). Faculty members in the schoolhave declared more than 30 research projects, published nearly 300 related academic papers and written and compiled more than 20 textbooks. Through adjustment and discipline construction, the school has highlighted its own features, enhanced its level of research and its ability of developing programs that combines teaching, research and industrial practice.
The school adheres to its guiding principles that the school should provide high-quality education with its own feature, and set up curriculums guided by the demand of the society. Based on these principles, the school strengthened its management, deepened reform and comprehensively improved it quality of teaching. It has declared more than 30 projects of “quality projects” of various kinds, and gained more than 10 awards for outstanding teaching achievements at both provincial and university levels.
The school continues to improve its talent training system. After extensive research and absorbing the experience of curriculum setting and undergraduate education of related peer institutes and universities, the school has formulated an undergraduate cultivation plan which goes in accordance with the reality of the school and the demand of the society, and aims at cultivating the comprehensive qualities and abilities of undergraduate students. It also gradually improved and implemented a class teaching evaluation scheme to improve the quality of teaching. The students have achieved gratifying results in scientific research and innovation, winning about 100 provincial and state-level awards. In recent years, the employment rate of school graduates has remained at above 95%.
