1.Major(Field)Introduction
The field of Electrical Engineering (EE) is dedicated to the study of electromagnetic phenomena, principles, and applications. It encompasses the production, transmission, distribution, utilization, and control of electrical energy, along with related materials and equipment production technologies. This includes: (1)Scientific research and engineering technology involved in the planning, design, safe, reliable, and economical operation, automatic control, and market-oriented operation of power and related energy systems throughout the entire process of electricity production, transmission, and utilization. (2)Research and engineering technology related to the design, manufacturing, operation, measurement, and control of various electrical devices. (3)Research and engineering technology related to improving the performance and production processes of various electrical materials, as well as developing new materials.
Around the national science and technology development strategy, major national energy needs, and significant scientific issues in the field of electrical engineering, five disciplinary directions have been established:(1) Power Systems and Automation: Focused on research areas such as power system reliability, smart grid protection and automation, smart distribution, safety of new energy power systems, and efficient utilization of multi-energy interconnection;(2) Power Electronics and Power Transmission: Concentrated on areas like the reliability of power converters and systems, new power electronic devices, high-power density electric drives and applications, new energy power conversion, and extreme condition power conversion.(3) Motors and Control: Emphasizing research on new energy generation equipment and its reliable operation and control, special motors and control, new types of motors and energy-saving, and electrification of new energy vehicles;(4) High Voltage and Insulation: Focusing on research into the safety of external insulation and defense against natural disasters in transmission and distribution, transient overvoltage and the prevention in large power grids, smart transmission and distribution equipment, the Internet of Things and big data analysis of transmission and distribution equipment, and advanced electrical materials;(5) Electrical Theory and New Technologies: Highlighting research in electromagnetic theory and electromagnetic compatibility, bioelectrical technology, new power generation and storage, wireless power transmission, and so on.
With the rapid development of social economy and national defense construction, new phenomena, laws, principles, and applications of electromagnetic fields and material interactions have become important foundations and sources of innovation for high-tech industries.

5. Professional Practice
For graduate students of professional Master's degree in Electrical Engineering with more than 2 years of working experience, the professional practice duration should be no less than 6 months. For those without 2 years of working experience, the professional practice duration should be no less than 1 year. The professional practice of part-time graduate students can be related to their professional duties.
The planning, implementation, and assessment of the practice should follow the relevant requirements of "Implementation Measures for Full-time Master's Professional Degree Practice at Chongqing University" (Chongqing University Graduate School [2009] No. 49). A passing grade or above in the assessment earns 6 credits. Those who do not participate in the professional practice or fail the assessment will not earn credits and will be required to retake the practice.
5.1Modes of Professional Practice
The professional practice integrates the principles of combining concentrated and distributed practice, combining off-campus practice with on-campus practice, combining mentor arrangements with unified arrangements by the school, and integrating professional practice with thesis work. Different practical experiences have different requirements. Off-campus professional practice may include participating in enterprise product design, technical transformation, production processes, experimental techniques, and research reports.
5.2Process Management of Professional Practice
The practice plan should generally be formulated in the first week of the second semester, jointly developed by the supervisor(s) and the Master's graduate student, and filled out by the student using the "Master's Graduate Student Professional Practice Plan Form" (submitted through the Graduate Student Management System). The "Professional Practice Plan" is reviewed and approved by the supervisor, and then examined by the Graduate Education and Management Office of the school.
Graduate students of Master's degree in Electrical Engineering participates in professional practice should register their activities (submit at least 5 entries of the "Master's Professional Degree Graduate Student Professional Practice Work Diary" in the Graduate Student Management System, with each entry limited to 800 words). After completing the professional practice activities, the student should fill out the "Master's Professional Degree Graduate Student Professional Practice Assessment Registration Form."
6.Mid-term Assessment
After completing the courses, graduate students of Master's degree in Electrical Engineering undergo mid-term assessments. Failure in the assessment will disqualify them from applying for thesis defense. The mid-term assessment is generally organized between the third and fourth semesters.
Students are required to submit the written mid-term assessment reports on their course studies and thesis proposals. The school organizes several assessment groups, and each group consists of 5 experts. The assessment includes the following aspects:
(1).Whether the required credits have been completed, and whether the grades are satisfactory (with transcripts attached).
(2). Completion of the thesis proposal and clarification of the next stage's work plan (specific requirements are outlined in the "Thesis Proposal" section).
(3). Specific opinions of the supervisor (including opinions or suggestions on student learning attitude, work ability, thesis proposal, work plan, etc.).
The assessment conclusion is either "pass" or "fail," and specific feedback is provided for those who fail. The mid-term assessment report is submitted to the Graduate Education and Management Office of the school for archiving.
7. Innovation and Entrepreneurship Activities
In order to cultivate innovation spirit, entrepreneurial consciousness, and innovation and entrepreneurship abilities of graduate students, students are encouraged to engage in various research innovation and entrepreneurial practice activities. The main forms include research innovation projects, entrepreneurial practice projects, subject competitions, cultivation of key innovation and entrepreneurship teams, and academic activities for brand innovation practice. 1 Credits are awarded to responsible persons and core members of these innovation and entrepreneurship activities based on the achievements of awards, project completions, successful participation, etc.
