Objectives 

With the core feature of ‘Artificial Intelligence + Sustainable Energy’, the program is geared towards the needs of developing new productivity in sustainable energy to meet the expectations of improving life quality. By integrating the knowledge of information technology, sustainable energy engineering, mechanical engineering, computer science, electrical & electronic engineering, materials engineering and other disciplines, the program prepares students to become leaders in energy science research, policy making, system planning, digital energy design and other emerging energy industries.

Graduates of the SET program are expected to:

(1) Master mathematics, artificial intelligence, and related foundational knowledge, and apply them proficiently.

(2) Possess core expertise in sustainable energy and the skills to solve complex energy engineering challenges.

(3) Exhibit innovative thinking, teamwork, and communication abilities to thrive in multicultural and international environments.

(4) Embrace a global perspective and a commitment to lifelong learning.

(5) Uphold high professional ethics and a strong sense of social responsibility.

Cultivation System

The program Health Science and Technology focuses on the use of AI technology to realize the concept of proactive health. Covering areas such as ‘big data and AI for health’, ‘intelligent health systems’, ‘health science foundation’ and ‘health and society’, the program establishes a multidisciplinary curriculum tailored to the future of health science.

The cultivation system is divided into five sections: Fundamental Courses, Humanities and Literacy Courses, Interdisciplinary Courses, Practical Courses and Individualized Courses.

I. Fundamental Courses are all compulsory courses, including:

- Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry foundation courses;

- Electricity, Computer, Biology and Bio-engineering and other relevant courses.

II. Humanities and Literacy Courses are all compulsory courses, including:

- English courses;

- P.E. courses;

- Ideological and political courses;

- Literature, history and philosophy elective courses.

III. Interdisciplinary Courses include core courses and elective courses:

- Core interdisciplinary courses: 8 compulsory courses;

- Elective interdisciplinary courses: consists of four categories with a total of 13 courses. Students may choose 4–5 courses to form a personalize study plan.

IV. Practice Courses include a series of courses such as Introduction to Engineering, Innovative Research Practice and Energy Experiment.

The courses in this section are aimed at cultivating students’ cross-disciplinary innovation ability. By setting up project-based practice contents covering macro and micro health parameters, combined with field research, these courses form an immersive system of cultivating students’ problem awareness, innovation awareness and innovation skills, thus laying a solid foundation for their scientific research.

V. Individualized Courses count for a total of 6 credits in any course offered by SJTU.
