The School of Electronic Information and Electrical Engineering is one of the teaching units with the longest history of running schools in the university. Its major in Measurement and Control Technology and Instruments can be traced back to the major in Petroleum Exploration Instruments of Beijing Petroleum Industry Junior College in 1951, with a history of more than 70 years. Currently, the school has 83 faculty members, including 42 supervisors for master's students and 3 supervisors for doctoral students. There are 2,100 full-time undergraduate students, 298 master's students, and 13 doctoral students in the school. The school has three teaching departments, namely the Department of Electronics, the Department of Electrical Engineering, and the Department of Telecommunications, one national-level experimental teaching demonstration center for electrical and electronic engineering, and one research institute (Artificial Intelligence Research Institute). It offers 6 undergraduate majors, including 2 national first-class majors, 1 provincial first-class major in Hubei Province, and 1 major that has passed the national engineering education certification. It also has two academic master's degree authorization points (Information and Communication Engineering, Electrical Engineering), two professional master's degree authorization points (Electronic Information, Energy and Power), and one doctoral degree authorization point (Oil and Gas Information Detection and Instrument Equipment).

Over the years, the school has always taken talent cultivation as its fundamental task, teaching quality as its core, and scientific research as a means to promote development. It has comprehensively implemented the project of quality improvement and reform, achieving fruitful results. It has won 1 second prize of the national teaching achievement award, 2 first prizes and 2 second prizes of teaching achievements in Hubei provincial colleges and universities. It has 1 national-level teaching team, and 2 teaching teams and excellent grassroots teaching organizations in Hubei Province. Teachers in the school actively undertake various scientific research projects at all levels, preside over 15 projects of the National Natural Science Foundation of China, 4 major national science and technology projects (tasks), and a number of school-enterprise cooperation projects, with a total contract funding of nearly 100 million yuan. In the past five years, 228 high-level academic papers have been published, 78 technologies have obtained national invention patent authorizations, including 6 invention patents in developed countries; 52 technologies have obtained utility model patent authorizations, and 4 achievements have won provincial and ministerial scientific and technological awards.

The school has good laboratory conditions and an open management mode that encourages students' independent innovation. Guided by the goal of cultivating "new engineering" talents who can lead the future, it uses the experimental teaching mode of "four combinations and one openness", attaches importance to the integration of science and education and the collaborative education between industry and education. Upholding the work concept of "Innovative Telecommunications, Leading the Future with Intelligence", it cultivates top-notch innovative talents.

Students in the school have won many awards in national competitions such as the National Undergraduate Electronic Design Competition and the "Challenge Cup" College Students' Entrepreneurship Plan Competition, and have consecutively won the honorary title of "Top Ten College Students" of Yangtze University. Over the past few decades, the school has cultivated and delivered a large number of professional and technical talents to society. Generation after generation of telecommunications students have adhered to the spirit of craftsmanship to pursue their dreams, served the country with their technologies, and fought on the front line of serving the construction and development of the national information industry. They have sown the seeds of their youth on the vast land of the motherland, demonstrating the practical, dedicated and hardworking spirit of telecommunications professionals.
