Building on the success of the previous Sino-foreign cooperative program in Civil Engineering, HEU and the University of Aberdeen began discussions in March 2022 to collaborate on a program in Electronic Information Engineering. After repeated negotiations, the two institutions reached a consensus on the joint program. The newly approved initiative combines the strengths of both universities in the field of electronic information, jointly designs the training plan, and innovates the curriculum system. It aims to cultivate high-level, international, innovative talents in electronic information engineering for the future.
