Automation professional education is accompanied by the rise of automation technology in the social production and life of a wide range of applications. It mainly studies the principle and method of automatic control, automatic unit technology and integration technology and its application in various control systems. In this area, the United States is in the world's leading level. Because of the wide application of automation technology, the social demand for this profession is increasing, in order to adapt to the situation, the United States of the University in a timely manner to introduce the professional education in the classroom. Because of the professional skills of applicability, which soon caused the young students keen interest, the United States in the field of rapid development and lead his country laid a solid talent foundation.
China's research in this field is also relatively early, but the real as a professional education into the University's classroom is relatively late in the evening. This is also the lack of reserve personnel in this field in our country, which is an important reason for the difference of the other countries.
In the early period after the founding of new China, the people's government faced is undone situation, the socialist economic construction need to have advanced production technology. So in support of the party and the country, a number of schools such as Tsinghua University, Peking University, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Beijing Institute of Technology have set up the relevant professional education and professional technology institute.
After the reform and opening up, the new technology revolution in the fourth wave of the wave, automation professional education has been considerable development. In addition to the original has been opened with the relevant professional colleges and universities, and a large number of colleges and universities such as Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications, Beihang University, Southeast University, Nanjing University, etc. are added to this professional. According to statistics, there are more and more colleges and universities, which have more than 90% colleges and universities. Because of its wide applicability and wide demand for the professional talents, it has been more and more popular. General colleges and universities each year are to 200 - 300 capacity of students take sage, some universities even more, record of formal schooling also by the specialist, undergraduate to masters and doctoral ranging, forming a cascade of talent training mode of education. In recent years, in this field emerged many famous professors, experts, teachers strength greatly enhanced, for example Wucheng, professor at the Department of automation, Tsinghua University in system integration technology attainments, Chen yuliu, Xiong Guangleng, Yang Jiaben, Yang Shiyuan, Xiao professor in the respective fields of research has yielded fruitful results, Wu Qidi, a professor of Tongji University has long been engaged in modern control theory and application, automation system engineering and computer integrated manufacturing system and automatic intelligent system theory and Application Research of. Southeast University automatic control system and Automation Research Institute has a high level of academic leaders, led by Professor Qian Zhonghan, Professor Feng Chunbai, Professor, led by the Chinese Academy of sciences. These outstanding scholars and experts have made outstanding contributions to the development of new technology in our country.

自动化专业教育是伴随着自动化技术在社会生产、生活中的广泛应用而兴起的。它主要研究自动控制的原理和方法，自动化单元技术和集成技术及其在各类控制系统中的应用。在这一领域，美国处于世界领先水平。由于自动化技术的广泛应用，社会对这一专业的人才需求也大为增加，为了适应这一形势，美国的大学及时地把这一专业的教育引进了课堂。因为这一专业技能的适用性，这很快引起了青年学生浓厚的兴趣，这为以后美国在这一领域的迅速发展并遥遥领先于他国奠定了雄厚的人才基础。
我国在这一技术领域内的研究也比较早，但真正作为一门专业教育走进大学的课堂较之国外就比较晚了。这也是后来我国这一领域的后备人才不足，与其他国家产生差距的一个重要原因。
建国初期，人民政权面临的是百废待兴的局面，社会主义经济建设需要有先进的生产技术。于是在党和国家的支持下，一批学校如
清华大学、北京大学、
上海交通大学、北京理工大学都纷纷设立了相关专业教育和专业技术研究所。
改革开放后，迎着第四次新科技革命的浪潮，自动化专业教育得到了长足的发展。除原先已经开设与此相关专业的高等院校外，另有一大批高校如北京邮电大学、
北京航空航天大学、东南大学、
南京大学等都增设有此专业。据统计开设有自动化专业教育的学校已占全国高等院校的90%还多，因为其广泛的适用性和社会对这一专业人才的广泛需求，它受到了越来越多的人的青睐。一般的院校每年都以200—300人的招生量广纳贤人，有的高校甚至还要多，学历层次也由专科、本科到硕士、博士不等，形成了梯级人才培养的教育模式。近些年，在这一领域涌现出许多著名的教授、专家，师资力量大为增强，例如清华大学自动化系的吴澄教授在系统集成技术方面的造诣很深，陈禹六、熊光楞、杨家本、杨士元、萧德云教授等在各自的研究领域成果颇丰，
同济大学的吴启迪教授长期从事现代控制理论与应用，自动化系统工程和计算机集成制造系统及智能自动化系统的理论与应用研究。东南大学自动控制系和自动化研究所拥有以钱钟韩教授、冯纯佰教授两位中科院院士为首的高水平学科带头人。这些优秀的学者、专家为我国新时期高科技的发展作出了卓越的贡献。
