Such high recognition from industry peers reflects the strong academic performance and rich talent cultivation of the vehicle engineering program at JSU and opens doors for further cooperation with industry leaders.

With nearly 60 years of history, JUS’s vehicle engineering program has produced many great innovators in the field. In 1996 the school was the fourth in the country given power to grant doctorates in vehicle engineering. The program has produced more than 6,000 undergraduate students, 1,600 postgraduates and 150 doctors, who have gone on to spread throughout the industry engineering values nurtured at JSU.

During the 12th five-year period, the vehicle engineering discipline made a considerable development. It established a full-time automotive engineering research institute, got one teacher approved as Distinguished Teacher in Jiangsu province, succeeded in becoming the National & Local Joint Engineering Research Center, got the award of Priority Discipline for its project of New Energy Vehicles. Its Vehicle Engineering was approved as the brand discipline (A degree) in Jiangsu province. It spent more than 200 million in scientific research funds, and won two provincial science and technology progress awards. What’s more, the vehicle engineering discipline has strong independent research and development in the fields of new energy vehicle system integration technology, electric power steering control, braking energy recovery control, which have formed strong discipline characteristic.
