The optimisation approach to organisation structure and running workflow of smart manufacturing University/College/i4AI Lab Under the authorization of the Ministry of Education, DGUT was initially bred in 1990 and coming into birth in 1992, which proudly has Dr Chenning Yang, a Nobel Laureate in Physics, as the Honorary President. In 2010, DGUT was listed into the initial institutions for national “Outstanding Engineers Cultivation Project”, together with Tsinghua university, Shanghai Jiaotong University and all 61 universities. In 2012, DGUT was approved as the “Guangdong International Science and Technology Cooperation Base”. In 2014, DGUT has been granted as one of provincial Postdoctoral Innovation Practice Bases by Guangdong Province. In 2015, DGUT signed the agreement of co-building high-level technology university with the government of guangdong province, In 2015, DGUT signed the agreement of co-building high-level technology university with the government of Guangdong province. In 2016, Siemens (China) chose DGUT and Tsinghua-UC Berkeley Shenzhen Institute as partners to co-build the ‘Intelligent Manufacturing Innovation Center’ for industry 4.0.
DGUT has been leading and involving in over 1000 research projects, such as the National “973”Project, “863”Project, the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC), the National Social Science Fund, Provincial Major Science and Technology Projects, GD-HK-Macao Key-area Breakthrough Project. The teacher also received Award of Science and Technology and a number of patent awards, such as the Geneva International Patent Technology Fair Gold Medal, the National Invention Patent Award, Provincial Science and Technology Progress Award and Dongguan Science and Technology Progress Award.
Dongguan city government provides matching funds for DGUT's NSFC projects to source and secure the successful implementation of leading international research projects. Additionally, DGUT will be highly developed by the strong support from both Guangdong province and Dongguan city. In the coming five years, it is estimated that 3.5 billion CNY will be provided by the government of Dongguan and Guangdong province to start the programme of co-building high-level technology university, which provides resourceful talents and technical supports for China's innovation-driven development. DGUT has 2 distinguished professors of Chinese Academy of Sciences academician, 3 double appointment academician, 2 Chang-jiang scholar professors and 2 Qianren programme professors. Also, DGUT has invited Dr Qiu Chengtong, world-famous mathematician and winner of the Fields Prize for Mathematics, and other professors of international prestige have come one after another, engaged as our honorary professors, visiting professors or part-time professors and other famous experts from home and abroad. Meanwhile, we are warmly welcome candidates for the Recruitment Program for Young Professionals.
As planned by the "Made in China 2025 priority areas Technology Roadmap", by 2025, China strives to develop the expertise and reach the international advanced level in the areas of new generation of information technology, robotics, and sustainable vehicles, in which, artificial Intelligence is one of the key technologies. The College of Computer Science and Technology possesses a wide range of up-to-date equipment to enable us to service an internationally leading research organisation for 'Made in China', 'Intelligent Creativity' and 'Industry 4.0', including IBM Big Data Processing And Business Intelligence Analysis Collaborative Innovation Center, SAP-Kingdee joint laboratory, Microsoft Technology Practice Center, HuaWei College of Networks, etc,.
The vision of I4AI laboratory is becoming a leading international technological center in 'Intelligent Creativity' and high-value chain for Industry 4.0 for the transformation of China's manufacturing industry, leading international research and computer automated design creation, improving product manufacturing knowledge content and added value for the emerging "the 4th industrial revolution" to solve the on-demand customised design technical difficulties.
