Evaluation experts think consistently that its reform initiatives and the routine practices have demonstration effects.

The School of Software owns laboratory of high reliable software systems, laboratory of digital art, laboratory of digital medical, laboratory of embedded system laboratory, laboratory of logistics and information system, laboratory of network engineering; and establishes joint students practice base with famous international enterprises like Microsoft, Intel, IBM, HP and such.

The School of Software has a high quality faculty team. The school invited seven young doctors from the United States, Canada, and Japan; while sends young teachers to some famous enterprises for technology learning for three months to half a year, to well-known overseas university for a sabbatical leave for six to twelve months. At present, the School of Software has more than 30 young and proactive full-time teachers. Two of them are IEEE software engineering body of knowledge (SWEBOK V3) joint chief editor and filed editor, while another is the first software specialists for China IEEE certification (CSDP).

The School’s main research areas include the development technology of high reliable software system, information system technology, embedded system, IT project management, digital art and technology, network security engineering, modern logistics information technology. At present, the School of Software is in charge of many state-level projects, including 973 project, 863 key project plan, project of the State Natural Science Fund and so on.

The software college's goal is to concentrate to build four second-level directions, namely "software science theory", "software engineering", "software" and "application software” in the next ten years.
