College of Information Engineering
College of Information Engineering was founded in July 2000 with the merging of the former Computer Science Department of Northwest Agricultural University dated back to the Computer Center of Northwest Agricultural College founded in 1979, and Computer Teaching & Research Section of Northwest Forestry College.
The college offers 3 undergraduate programs in Computer Science and Technology, Information Management and Information System and E-Commerce. It is authorized to confer master’s degree in Computer Application Technology, and provides 1 doctoral program in Agricultural Electrification and Automation in the field of Intelligent Detection and Monitoring. There are altogether 1004 students and 79 faculty members, including 7 professors, 14 associate professors and 19 lecturers.
The college consists of 2 experimental centers, 1 research section, 4 teaching and research sections and 1 information engineering laboratory. There are 12 Dell high performance servers, 45 Cisco switches, and over 1000 Dell computers formed a high-speed teaching and practice network system. The information engineering laboratory includes: Digital Analog Circuit Learning Machines, Experiment System of Computer Composition Principle, Hi-fi Circuit Learning Machines, Single Chip Computer Experiment and Development System, and Computer Interfaces Experimental System, Computer Network Experimental System, Computer Control Experiment System and FPGA Learning Machine. The total number of the equipment reaches 1152 sets.
With the integration of biological & agricultural technology and computer information technology, the college emphasizes the exploration of biological image processing & identification, intelligent information system and network-based computer application. With agricultural automation, artificial intelligence and informatization in agriculture as the objectives, biological image processing and identification is to realize remote control and detection over agricultural production, products and food quality, crop growing information and crop disease and pests, the visualization of agricultural mechanization. Intelligent information system is to develop theories and methods for agricultural information collecting, processing and analyzing, and develop techniques for agricultural database setup, data application as well as intelligent decision- making supporting system on the basis of GLS. Computer application technology deals with the study of MIS/CIMS, DDS system integration technology, intranet/extranet database system development, ASP and Web development techniques, network based multi-media techniques and JAVA techniques development and application. In addition, the college provides services for information system establishment, software and network database development, teaching software design and advanced computer technology training. On October 20, 2003, the Northwest A&F University signed an agreement with the Union of Overseas Doctors to establish Center of FPGA International Demonstration Model Study & Training Center. The center will play a vital role to improve teaching efficiency in electronics information and computer science, and train more talents in the field of information and engineering for the economic development of China.
The college strengthens its teaching and management and makes full use of the favorable practice conditions and field bases on and off campus. The college also attaches great importance to foster student's creativity, operating ability, teamwork spirit and overall qualities to meet the demands of society.
The college has carried on nearly 20 teaching reform and curriculum construction programs. Among many awards for teaching and research, there are two second prizes of Shaanxi Excellent Teaching Achievements Awards, and 2 first prizes and 3 second prizes from the university. One course was appraised as the National Classic Courses, 2 provincial classic courses and 4 university classic courses. In addition, 4 textbooks have won second prizes from Shaanxi Information Industry Department Bureau and Computer Education Community Association.
