The master's program in control theory and control engineering began to be built in 1995, and in 1996, it began to undertake the joint training task of master's students, and obtained the right to award master's degrees in 2001. At present, a discipline construction and postgraduate training mode has been formed, relying on the construction of the key discipline of control theory and control engineering of Three Gorges University and the key laboratory of detection technology and control engineering of Yichang City, with the master's supervisor as the core and the research center as the base.
In recent years, combined with the construction of this discipline, a cumulative investment of 2 million yuan has been made to build a number of laboratories with advanced level on the basis of the original. Including automation comprehensive laboratory, power electronics, single-chip microcomputer laboratory and other laboratories, reaching the domestic advanced level: in addition, with the key discipline of control theory and control engineering as the carrier, DCS research room, remote measurement and control research room, electronic and information processing research room, etc. have been built, and the experimental equipment is complete. High-level research institutions provide a good scientific research and academic exchange platform for the training of graduate students.
