The College of Metrology Measurement and Instrument is the oldest and most specialized college in metrology and measurement at China Jiliang University, with a comprehensive education system spanning undergraduate, master's, and doctoral programs. The college traces its origins to the founding department of the university. It was established as the Department of Metrology Engineering in 1995, became the College of Metrology Engineering in 2000, was renamed the College of Metrology Testing Engineering in 2007, and is now known as the College of Metrology Measurement and Instrument as of 2024.
The college is guided by General Secretary Xi Jinping's important directive to "focus on the 'old expertise'" given during his visit. It is dedicated to supporting national quality infrastructure construction and addressing Zhejiang Province's key economic sectors. The college deeply engages in measurement science and its applications, fully implements the fundamental task of fostering virtue and talent, develops a high-caliber faculty team, produces landmark achievements, cultivates top-tier disciplines, and strives to become a nationally renowned, high-level, specialized research institute.
The Instrument Science and Technology discipline at the college is a leading subject in the university's "Discipline Peak Engineering" initiative. It hosts the only doctoral degree program in the province and has been designated as a key discipline in Zhejiang Province. It has also been recognized as a "Provincial and Municipal Co-Built" top-tier discipline and a provincial advantageous and specialized discipline. The Engineering discipline is ranked in the top 1% globally according to the ESI rankings.
