This program began to cultivate undergraduate students in the direction of computer science in 1985 and it has begun to recruit postgraduate students since 2004. Now, it was approved to accept the postgraduate students in the discipline of Electronic Information (Computer Technology). Aiming to explore the academic foreland and serve the country's prominent strategic needs, we have researched the common basic theories and key technologies in the field. After long-term accumulation, we have incubated four major research directions: computer network and distributed computing, computer vision and machine learning, data mining and intelligent computing, and complex systems and intelligent control. At present, there are Anhui Provincial Industrial Internet Intelligent Application and Safety Engineering Research Center as well as the Anhui Provincial Key Laboratory for Metallurgical Industry Digital Twin Technology, among other discipline construction platforms.

The first-level discipline of Electrical Engineering in AHUT was granted in 2009, and five second-level disciplines are currently available, including the Electric Machinery and Equipment (080801), the Electric Power System and Automation (080802), the High Voltage Insulation Engineering (080803), the Power Electronics and Motion Control (080804), the Electrical Theory and New Technology (080805). The second-level discipline of the Power Electronics and Motion Control officially began the enrollment in 1993, and was approved as a key discipline of the former Ministry of metallurgical industry (1996) and Anhui Province. The discipline equips with the Anhui Key Lab of Power Electronics and Motion Control.

The international students in the EE discipline will be qualified for advanced specialists in the field of the Electrical Engineering. Through the three years study, the graduates are expected to master the advance theories, knowledge of the field, have the abilities in the engineering design, the research, management, and so on.

Control Science and Engineering contains three disciplines: Control Theory and Control Engineering, Pattern Recognition and Intelligent Systems, Detection Technology and Automation Devices. It focuses on the industrial development needs of process industries such as metallurgy and chemical engineering, and studies the theories, methods, and technologies of modeling, analysis, synthesis, optimization, decision-making, design, and implementation of various control strategies and systems; Research on intelligent detection, diagnosis, prediction, and comprehensive health management of key process parameters in process industrial production processes; Based on artificial intelligence theory, integrating information, computer, and mathematical analysis methods, combining theoretical research such as image processing, pattern recognition, machine vision, and intelligent computing methods with engineering practice.

This discipline conducts extensive research around key technical issues in civil engineering related to the metallurgical industry and local construction processes. It has developed four disciplinary directions: Structural Engineering, Water Purification and Water System Safety, Building Environment Control and Energy Conservation, and Civil Engineering Materials. The research covers areas such as the structural performance of steel-slag concrete and high-strength and high-performance steel-reinforced concrete, integrated processes and equipment for sewage deep treatment using aeration bio-filtration, prevention and control of dust pollution and ventilation purification in metallurgical enterprises, and the resource utilization of metallurgical slag solid waste.

Metallurgical Engineering is a key construction discipline set up by the former Ministry of Metallurgical Engineering in East China which began to recruit undergraduates in 1977. In 2008, it was selected as the national characteristic specialty construction point. In 2011, it was selected as the Outstanding Engineer plan of the Ministry of Education. In 2014, it was approved as the national comprehensive reform pilot. In 2015, it passed the professional certification of engineering education, and in 2020, it was selected as the national first-class specialty. This major has two directions: Steel Metallurgy and Nonferrous Metallurgy. This major has multi-level support platforms including the National Engineering Research Center for Efficient Recycling of Metal Mineral Resources, the Key Laboratory of Metallurgical Emission Reduction and Resource Utilization of the Ministry of Education, the Key Laboratory of Metallurgical Engineering and Resource Comprehensive Utilization of Anhui Province, the Metallurgical Solid Waste Resources Utilization Branch of the Chinese Metal Society, and the Collaborative Innovation Center for Clean and Efficient Utilization of Metallurgical Resources of Anhui Province, etc.

This discipline originated from the major of steel rolling in 1958. Material Science and Material processing Engineering are provincial key disciplines and were granted the right to confer first-level doctoral degree in 2013. It has been ranked among top 1% of ESI globally since 2015. In 2017, it was selected as one of the top seven "World-class Disciplines", and one of the top ten "Peak Disciplines" in Anhui province in 2019. Materials Science and Engineering post-doctoral research station was approved to be established in the same year. According to the plans on fundamental materials industrial transformation and development of new materials industry in Yangtze River delta, this discipline is aiming at enhancing core competitiveness of application & research oriented high-level talents based on the needs of metal structural materials, surface engineering materials, and new energy materials industries in fields of energy, automobile and electronics etc.
