The College of Electrical and Power Engineering, Taiyuan University of Technology traces its origins to 1918, when the Electrical Engineering Program was first established under the Western Studies Division of Shanxi University Hall (山西大学堂西学专斋). The College currently comprises four departments—the Department of Electrical Machines, the Department of Automation, the Department of Thermal Engineering, and the Department of Energy Network Engineering (official English title to be confirmed)—as well as the Division of Electrical Engineering Fundamentals and the Electrical and Electronic Experimental Center. At present, the College has 170 faculty and staff members, including 139 full-time academic staff, among whom 24 are doctoral supervisors. The College is home to one Member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, two experts receiving the State Council Special Allowance, and one scholar recognized under both the National Science Fund for Distinguished Young Scholars and the Chang Jiang Scholars Program. In addition, the College has five scholars selected for the Shanxi Province Hundred Talents Program, two leading talents under the "131" Leading Talent Program of Higher Education Institutions in Shanxi Province, three Shanxi Province Academic and Technical Leaders, six Shanxi Province Distinguished Teachers, and twenty-two outstanding young and middle-aged innovative talents from higher education institutions in Shanxi Province. The College hosts a number of prestigious research platforms, including one Key Laboratory of the Ministry of Education, one Discipline Innovation and Talent Introduction Base under the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Science and Technology (the "111 Program"), one National and Local Joint Engineering Research Center, four Key Laboratories of Shanxi Province, one Shanxi Provincial Joint Graduate Training Base for Industry-Education Integration, one National Defense Innovation Engineering Center (official English title to be confirmed), and two Shanxi Provincial Engineering Technology Research Centers. The College currently offers programs in three disciplines: a doctoral program in the first-level discipline of Electrical Engineering, a master's program in Control Science and Engineering, and a master's program in Power Engineering and Engineering Thermophysics. At present, the College has a total enrollment of 2,680 students, including 1,948 undergraduate students, 702 postgraduate students, among whom 62 are doctoral candidates, as well as 30 international students.
