Among them, 80 major in Industrial Engineering, 80 in Mechanical Engineering, 45 in Materials Science and Engineering, 85 in Computer Science, 85 in Electrical and Computer Engineering. SCUPI is now operating with over 1,000 students.

In terms of overseas studies, the students of Class 2023 reached a further education rate of 84%. Among the 170 graduates, 105 students received nearly 300 offers from prestigious universities around the world, including Stanford University, ETH Zurich, UC Berkeley, Yale University, Columbia University, Cornell University, Carnegie Mellon University, Georgia Institute of Technology, Duke University, and other well-renowned engineering schools. 97.14% of the students who chose to further study abroad were enrolled by top 100 universities around the world.
