This is a list of the members (academicians) of the Chinese Academy of Engineering (CAE). CAE academician is the highest academic title officially recognized by the Chinese government in engineering and technological sciences.[1]
As of February 2025, the academy has 1014 living members, divided into nine academic divisions:[2]
Mechanical and Vehicle Engineering: 135 members
Information and Electronic Engineering: 148 members
Chemical, Metallurgical and Materials Engineering: 118 members
Energy and Mining Engineering: 133 members
Civil and Hydraulic Engineering and Architecture: 109 members
Light Industry and Environmental Engineering: 75 members
Agriculture: 91 members
Medicine and Health: 134 members
Engineering Management: 71 members
There are 348 deceased members as of February 2025.[3] Additionally, there are 124 living foreign members[4] and 22 deceased ones.[5]
Eligibility and election process
As of 2019, official rules of the Chinese Academy of Engineering stipulate that elections are held every two years in odd-numbered years. Academicians younger than 80 in the election year have the right to nominate a maximum of three candidates and vote for new academicians. Candidates may be nominated by academicians or academic organizations. Each candidate needs three nominations to qualify, at least two of which must be from academicians in the same division as the candidate.[1][6] In principle, candidates should be younger than 65, but older candidates may still qualify if they receive six nominations.[1] Government officials holding county-level positions or higher are in principle not eligible.[1] Candidates involved in national defence and security are nominated and elected separately.[6] The number of academicians elected varies each time. In the 2019 election, the quota was set at a maximum of 80.[1]
The Chinese Academy of Engineering began electing foreign members in 1996.[7] The number of foreign members have been kept relatively small, totalling 82 by 2017. As of 2017, 58% of foreign members are American and 33% are of Chinese origin.[7] Well known foreign members include Nobel Prize laureates Barry Marshall and Satoshi Ōmura, Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, Turing Award winner Raj Reddy, and Pritzker Architecture Prize laureate I. M. Pei.[7]
In 2001, 81 new members were elected to the Chinese Academy of Engineering, separated into eight academic divisions (the Division of Engineering Management was added this year).[17] In addition, 7 foreign members were elected.[18]
In 2007, 32 new members were elected to the Chinese Academy of Engineering, divided into 9 academic divisions (Agriculture was separated from Light Industry and Environmental Engineering). In addition, 3 foreign members were elected.[23][24]
