Basic information：Dalian University of Technology was established in 1974, and the department of Computer Science and Engineering was founded in 1981. Zhong Wanfo, an academician, was the first head of the department. The electronic information and electrical engineering department at the school of computer science and technology was established in 2009, and then it became a second-class school at the university in 2023. At present, the school has a first-level doctoral degree (i.e., computer science and technology), a postdoctoral mobile station and a first-level key discipline in Liaoning province. In 2011 and 2017, the school has passed the national engineering education professional certification continuously. In 2019, the first batch of the national first-class undergraduate professional construction sites and first-class undergraduate education demonstration majors in Liaoning province were approved.

  Influence at home and abroad：Prof. Wei Xiaopeng was awarded the Medal for the 70th Anniversary of the Founding of the People's Republic of China. A number of professors have been holding important positions in various national academic organizations, such as the Evaluation Group of the National Funding Committee, the Instruction Committee for Computer Science in Higher Education of the Ministry of Education, the Chinese Computer Society, the Chinese Graphic Society, and the Chinese Society of Artificial Intelligence. We successfully hosted the 23rd National Forum for Deans/Department Heads of Computer Science Disciplines in Colleges and Universities, where many academicians of the Chinese Academy of Engineering attended, including Zhang Yao, Wu Jianping, as well as deans, department heads, experts and scholars of computer science disciplines from over 70 colleges and universities. The discipline has been ranked top 1% of ESI Global Ranking of Computer Science Disciplines for 11 consecutive years since 2009 and top 1‰ since 2019.

  In the future, the School of Computer Science and Technology will adhere to the core of cultivating innovative and practical talents, consolidate the fundamental position of talent cultivation, strengthen the construction of professional quality resources, continuously improve the quality of teaching and scientific research, and endeavor to build an excellent talent cultivation base for computer professionals.
