Opening Remarks
ON CME2011 Distinguished Guests and Leaders, Ladies and Gentlemen, Dear Friends, It is an honor and a pleasure to welcome you on behalf of the Automation College of Harbin Engineering University to this conference on Complex Medical Engineering.Firstly thank every one of you for attending.Many of you have travelled great distances to be here.With excellentspeakers attending from dozens of countries, this conference is a truly global event.We are glad to see that hundreds of participants from overseas including United States, Canada, Italy, Australia, United Kingdom, France, Germany, Japan, Korea ,Etc.andmore than fifty profeionals from mainland chinaincluding Taiwan and Hong Kong have come to this event.
Let me now turn to introduction of Automation College of HEU.The history of the Automation College can be traced back to 1953, when Harbin PLA Military Engineering Institute was founded.The College is being developed and strengthened through its core disciplines of \'Ocean Tunnel Measuring\' and \'Ship-Electricity\'.The College is one of the teaching and research backbones of HEU.There are 6 undergraduate programs including Automation, Measuring and Control Technology and Instruments, Electrical Engineering and its Automation, Detection Guidance and Control Technology, Biomedical Engineering, and Aviation Technology; 16 master programs including Control Theory and Control Engineering, Navigation, Guidance and Control, Pattern Recognition and Intelligent Systems, Detection Technology and Automatic Equipment, Electric Machines and Electric Apparatus, Power System and its Automation, Precision Instrument and Machinery, Biomedical Engineering, Mechantronic Engineering, Systems Engineering, System Analysis and Integration, High Voltage and Insulation Technology, Power System and its Automation, Power Electronics and Power Drives, Traffic Information Engineering & Control, and Detection and Measuring Technology and Instrument; 6 doctoral programs including Control Theory and Control Engineering, Navigation, Guidance and Control, Precision Instrument and Machinery, Detection Technology and Automation Equipment, Pattern Recognition and Intelligent Systems, and System Engineering.In addition, the nationally top ranking discipline of Control Science and Engineering has a Postdoctoral R&D Base.
In 2001, the discipline of Navigation, Guidance and Control was appraised as a national key discipline.During the proce of prejudication and proposal of the National 10th Five-years Plan and the \'211 Project\', Control Theory and Control Engineering and Navigation, Guidance and Control are listed as the key disciplines.To be internationally leading, the College has invested 23 million yuan RMB for the two disciplines\' further construction.Finally ,you are sincerely invited to come to Harbin Engineering University and I wish the conference a complete succe !
