Program overview
Industrial Intelligence is a new engineering major under the automation category. Simply put, it teaches machines how to "think" and "work." You'll learn core courses like machine learning, deep learning, industrial robots, intelligent control, and the Internet of Things, and you'll also get hands-on with projects—such as using Python to write algorithms to control a robotic arm or building a vision system that automatically detects product defects. This major is perfect for students who enjoy tinkering and are interested in both AI and manufacturing—if you like playing with code and hardware, it's a great fit. Chinese universities invest heavily in this field, with many schools having dedicated smart manufacturing labs and close partnerships with companies like Huawei and Siemens, giving you exposure to real industrial scenarios.
