Brief Introduction to AHPU
Anhui Polytechnic University (AHPU) is a provincial, multi-disciplinary university with strength in engineering and one of the universities for priority development in Anhui. It has got funded by “National Midwestern Fundamental Capacity Construction Project ” and authorized as the pioneering institution to carry out comprehensive reforms and all-round innovation reforms. The schooling can be traced back to 1935 when the Spanish Catholic Church founded Anhui Neisi Technical School, which, thereafter, renewed its name as Wuhu Electrical Motor Manufacture School , Wuhu Mechanical School, Anhui college of Mechanical & Electrical Engineering , Anhui University of Technology & Science and Anhui Polytechnic University since 2010.
Currently, with disciplines covering engineering, science, humanities, management, economy, law and arts etc., AHPU comprises 14 schools, offering 70 undergraduate programs, among which 14 are national or provincial featured programs, 15 are national or provincial comprehensive reform programs and 12 are national or provincial “Excellent Talents Programs”. It also contains the national off-campus internship base. AHPU runs the master programs in 12 major disciplines and 7 professional master programs ,of which 5 are in engineering fields. AHPU has established “the provincial joint-education base for graduate students”, “the provincial case library of professional master programs” and “the spreading center of teaching cases”. Nowadays, AHPU is jointly constructing “School of international engineers” with Wuhu municipal government and thus initiates a new talent cultivation pattern characterized by a combination of “Industry, School, Research and Application” and an integrity of “Internationalization, Engineering, Industrialization and Diversity”. AHPU has established partnership with about 20 renowned universities from USA, UK, France, Germany, Italy, South Korea, Thailand and Taiwan Region to carry out joint-education programs, talent cultivation and scientific researches.
AHPU has been active in its scientific pursuits and has made a lot of advances. Among all the research projects, there are more than 80 under 863 Programs, National Natural Science Funds or National Social Science Funds and the like, over 30 designated by Ministry of Education or Ministry of Science and Technology and over 400 other projects by the provincial government. Over 40 research projects have got awarded at the provincial level. There are 1 provincial leading discipline (Controlling Science & Engineering), 6 provincial key disciplines (Mechanical Manufacturing & Automation, Detection Technology & Automatic Equipment, Textile Engineering, Fermentation Engineering, Management Science & Engineering and Design Art) and 15 national or provincial Sci-tech innovation platforms (National Engineering & Research Center jointly built with EFORT Intelligent Equipment Co.ltd, National Innovation & Service Center of Textile Industry, Wanjiang Collaborative Innovation Center for High-end Manufacturing Equipment, Research Center of Design and Arts etc.) The Analyzing and Measuring Center is of the provincial qualification for foods inspection. The “Journal of AHPU” has been selected as a journal source by “Chemistry Digest” of the United States and “Digest Magazine” of Russia.
AHPU sticks to the schooling principle of “Rooted in quality, Enhanced by talents and Renowned for features & harmony” and its education concept of “Honesty, Modesty and Assiduity”. With the motto of “Virtue and Knowledge, Truth and Innovation”, AHPU has been adopting the strategy of “Enhanced by talents, Driven by innovation, Open schooling and Characteristic development”.
