Intelligent Robotics Engineering with Contemporary Entrepreneurialism Xi'an Jiaotong-Liverpool University

Overview

The Intelligent Robotics Engineering with Contemporary Entrepreneurialism BEng programme from Xi'an Jiaotong-Liverpool University advances the curriculae and education models of relevant disciplines such as computer science, electrical and electronics, communications, and mechatronics. The programme promotes development of applications, intelligence and automation to help achieve the transformation from “Made in China” to “Innovative Manufacturing in China”.

To narrow the gap between university education and real industrial needs, we are transforming traditional education through XJTLU’s innovative Syntegrative Education Model, bridging knowledge in the field of intelligent robotics with entrepreneurship, innovation, and collaboration with industry partners. To introduce to undergraduate education the latest industrial practices and address real industrial challenges, the School of Robotics is collaborating with leading companies including Siasun, ECOVACS, DeepBlue, BOHHOM, Inovance, FAIR Robotics, Kärcher, and 3S Robotics. 

This approach not only provides students with in-depth insights into the latest industry developments, and approaches, but also enhances students’ goal-oriented thinking and problem-solving abilities. To help students develop into elite talents who can lead the development of emerging industries, we also offer modules and training in leadership and communication, innovative thinking, entrepreneurial practice, and teamwork.

Career opportunities:

Graduates from the BEng Intelligent Robotics Engineering with Contemporary Entrepreneurialism will have diverse opportunities for future studies and careers. The first cohort of graduates (2023) received diverse postgraduate programme offers.

Among them, 44.44% received offers from intelligent robotics engineering programmes, while 23.46% received offers from programmes focusing on artificial intelligence, machine learning, and computer vision. 12.35% were in the medical, healthcare, and biomedical fields, while 9.88% came from advanced intelligent control and systems engineering, computer science, intelligent computation, and mechatronics programmes. There were also offers from aerospace and aircraft technologies programmes, autonomous driving programmes, and finance and business programmes, accounting for 3.7%, 1.23% and 1.23% respectively. This demonstrates that graduates of this undergraduate programme have excellent employment prospects in various fields.

Based on the objectives for educating talent and students’ self-development, graduates from this programme will have opportunities to work in research institutes, manufacturing enterprises, and integrated application companies in intelligent robotics engineering fields or related disciplines. They may work in high-end technology, advanced systems (system design, quality control, solutions, project management, and product management), industry applications (innovation and entrepreneurship, project management, and product innovation), and more.
