From 8 to 11 August, the 4th University Electrical & Electronic Engineering Innovation Competition—organized by the China Electrotechnical Society and hosted by South China University of Technology—took place in Guangzhou, Guangdong. Three teams from our school delivered exceptional performances, winning two Grand Prizes (one of which also received the “Outstanding Innovation Award”) and one First Prize. Faculty members Zhang Chengming, Wang Mingyi, Mai Jianwei, and Li Yiliang were honored as Outstanding Advisors.
The University Electrical & Electronic Engineering Innovation Competition is a nationwide, engineering-oriented and exploratory activity for university students. Under the theme “Energy Transformation and Technological Change under the Dual-Carbon Strategy,” this year’s event attracted 2,646 teams from 305 universities across 34 provinces, municipalities, and autonomous regions, involving nearly 10,000 teachers and students and fully demonstrating the innovative vitality of young talent. After preliminary and semifinal rounds, 169 teams advanced to the national finals.
In the finals:
The project “Design and Application of a High-Efficiency Integrated Propulsion Motor System for New-Energy Aircraft,” completed by Dai Jiaxin, Cai Yangzhi, Tong Haiqi, Tang Yibo, and Xiao Ruiqi (advised by Zhang Chengming and Wang Mingyi), received the Grand Prize and the Outstanding Innovation Award.
The project “A Wide-Range, High-Efficiency Wireless Power Transfer System for Electric-Vehicle Applications,” completed by undergraduates Zhang Gewei, Li Meiling, and Yang Ao (advised by Mai Jianwei and Li Yiliang), was awarded the Grand Prize.
The project “Design of a DC/DC Bidirectional Power Converter,” completed by Ma Yijia, Tian Wei, and Yang Hongxin (advised by Li Yiliang and Mai Jianwei), received the First Prize.
These achievements fully showcase our students’ innovative capabilities and outstanding excellence in the field of electrical engineering.
Now in its fourth edition, the competition has grown steadily in both scale and influence. Its goal is to build a platform that promotes industry–education integration, cultivates a new generation of engineers with the creativity to solve complex engineering problems and the international vision to drive technological advancement, and supports the nation’s strategy of becoming a science and technology powerhouse.
At the closing ceremony, the competition flag was passed from South China University of Technology to Harbin Institute of Technology. Our school will host the 5th National Finals of the University Electrical & Electronic Engineering Innovation Competition in 2026.
