The School of Electronic Information and Electrical Engineering is one of the teaching units with the longest history of running a school 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 College in 1951, with a history of more than 70 years. Currently, the school has 83 faculty members, including 42 master's supervisors and 3 doctoral supervisors. There are 2,100 full-time undergraduate students, 298 master's students and 13 doctoral students in the school. The school has 3 teaching departments, namely the Department of Electronics, the Department of Electrical Engineering and the Department of Telecommunications, a national-level Experimental Teaching Demonstration Center for Electrical and Electronic Engineering, and a research institute (Artificial Intelligence Research Institute). It has 6 undergraduate majors that are currently enrolling students, including 2 national first-class majors, 1 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 1 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, centered on teaching quality, promoted development through scientific research, and comprehensively implemented the project of quality improvement and reform, achieving fruitful results.
