In 2009, it stood as one of the first pilot majors for research and practice of CDIO engineering education, and was approved for construction of special major by Ministry of Education (MOE), and then in 2013, entering MOE excellent engineer education program and in 2019 became part of “Double First-Class Initiative”. MDMA of SDJU is widely accepted and praised in society thanks to constant implementation of reform and innovation in engineering education, coordinated efforts of faculty, proactive integration between industry and education, strengthening practical teaching and significant increase in quality of graduates.
