Introduction to the Master’s Degree of

Building Electrical and Intelligence

The subject, a second-grade one, is a master's degree authorization discipline affiliated to Electrical Engineering, a first-grade subject. As a multidisciplinary and applied discipline, it’s developed to meet the social needs, which focuses on power system, control system and information processing system based on artificial architectural environment.

Integrated deeply with building industry, the subject covers knowledge and skills of building power supply and lighting，building automation and control，construction of public security technology，signal and information processing, power quality analysis and monitoring, building energy efficiency and other related fields. Come so far，the master’s degree of building electrical and intelligence is the first authorization discipline in Henan Province. The graduates are in great need and their prospects are bright.

20 teachers are in service now, among which there are 11 associate professors or higher and 5 with a doctorate degree. The main research areas are: building electricity and energy saving technology, building intelligence and system integration technology, building fire science and technology, etc.
