The School of Automation Science and Electrical Engineering originated from the Aircraft Equipment Department of Beihang University (formerly known as Beijing Institute of Aeronautics), which was founded in August 1954. It is credited with developing China's first unmanned aerial vehicle, "Beijing No. 5," and the first fighter jet flight simulator. Since its inception, the School has adhered to the educational philosophy of "Deep Pursuit for Profound Knowledge," passing down the pioneering spirit, tenacious will, and pragmatic work ethic of its founders. The School has deeply integrated its patriotic spirit into the entire process of talent development, closely aligning with the nation's strategic needs. It has made significant contributions to strategic technological and economic development and has trained a large number of leading talents for China's aerospace and defense industries. It is now considered one of the top automation schools in the country.
