清华大学电子工程系1932年起步，1952年建系，拥有“电子科学与技术“，“信息与通信工程”两个一级学科，涵盖电子信息多个研究领域，学科全、综合性强。建有三个国家重点实验室（集成光电子学、微波与数字通信、智能技术与系统）；取得了一大批高水平的科研成果，近十年来获得百余项国家和省部级奖项。

Started from 1932, the EE Dept.was formally established in 1952, constituted by two first-level disciplines, “Electronic Sciences and Technology” and “Information and Communication Engineering”, which cover the fields of physical electronics and optoelectronics, circuits and systems, electro-magnetic field and micro-wave technology, communication and information systems, signal and information processing, and complex systems and network. A large number of scientific achievements helped strengthen its domestic leading position and numerous excellent graduates have contributed to the social progress of China and the world-wide development in relevant fields. The EE Dept. has been placed among the top 20 in the QS world ranking these years.

The EE Dept. takes it as its own duty to promote national technology innovation and industrial development, and devotes to explore a new approach for high-tech technology transfer. The IEIT was built up not only for EE Dept., but also for whole society to prototype and industrialize research achievements in the field of electronics and information technology.
