I．About Us

Nanyang Normal University established the computer major in 1995 and then the computer department in August 1999. In March 2006, the department changed its name to School of Computer and Information Technology (SCIT), which currently has four undergraduate programs (big data and cloud computing, Internet Finance, software development, and Network Security).

  Currently, there are sixty people on its faculty and staff including twenty-one professors, twenty-eight lecturers and three experimentalists, most of whom have Bachelor’s or Doctor’s degree.

      Prominent achievements have been made in medical image processing, data mining, information security and other fields of scientific research. In the past three years, the school has been responsible for a constantly increasing number of key research projects, including three Science Foundation Programs and twenty-three scientific research projects at the provincial and ministerial level. We have published more than 300 high-quality papers in high-level international journals (such as SCI, EI etc.) and a number of professional reference books. In addition, we possess more than twenty national patents authorized and sixteen computer software copyrights.

   SCIT consists of six teaching and research sections (basic course, software and application, database and application, system structure, cloud computing, big data, network and application) and twenty-one professional laboratories, which contribute a lot to students’ comprehensive quality, professional ability and high employment rate.

3) Various Teaching Methods

In teaching, SCIT adopted effective teaching methods and multi-assessment system so that optimal teaching results can be achieved.

4) Focus on Improving Teachers’ Professional Quality

To improve teachers’ professional quality, SCIT requires teachers to make further study and participate in practical training together with students, which not only deepens their communication with students, but also broadens their horizon, making them learn a lot about effective teaching methods and professional knowledge.

III. Research  

Recently, SCIT has 8 research groups, which are composed of doctors and professors, and mainly study digital image, video capture, processing, analysis, retrieval and management and multimedia information processing and digital image security. Great achievements have been made in content retrieval, sentiment analysis, image measurement, digital watermarking, natural image analysis, medical image feature extraction, computer-aided diagnosis, data mining etc.

In recent years, the school has been responsible for three national science foundation projects, one project funded by Chinese postdoctoral scientific research fund and ten provincial key research projects. We have published a number of professional reference books and more than 300 high-quality papers in important academic journals including Physics in Medicine and Biology, Medical Physics, Mathematical and Computer Modelling, Future Generation Computer Systems, Technology in Cancer Research & Treatment, Academic Radiology, Optical Engineering etc. In addition, we possess more than 20 national patents and 15 computer software copyrights.
