The specialty of ammunition engineering and explosion technology in north university of china was founded in 1953 with the help of experts from lenski Artillery Academy of the former Soviet Union. 196 1 year, in order to strengthen the construction of the specialty of conventional weapons, the specialty was moved from Beijing Institute of Technology to Taiyuan, and it was designed and manufactured by Taiyuan Institute of Machinery. During the Cultural Revolution, the college entrance examination was resumed in 1978 because the school was changed into a factory. 65438-0998, the Ministry of Education adjusted the undergraduate majors in colleges and universities, and merged ammunition engineering and explosion technology and their applications into ammunition engineering and explosion technology majors. Including the main discipline of this major, artillery, automatic weapons and ammunition engineering, 1998, was awarded the right of doctoral degree.
Since the establishment of this major for more than 50 years, it has made remarkable contributions to personnel training, discipline construction, scientific research, improving the level of running a school and highlighting the characteristics of military industry. The discipline of artillery, automatic weapons and ammunition engineering, which is supported by the major, is the first batch of master's degree authorization points awarded by the State Council, and the first batch of key disciplines in Shanxi Province is the doctoral program and postdoctoral mobile station of equipment science and technology, which has become the talent training and conventional weapons research base of China's national defense modernization.
As a military major, it is also one of the nine national management majors in our school. It always puts teaching quality in the first place, strictly controls all teaching links and pays attention to cultivating students' all-round quality. This major has the ability to run schools at all levels, such as undergraduate, master, doctor and postdoctoral. Adhering to integration of defense and civilian technologies's educational philosophy, we have so far trained and delivered batches of professional and technical talents for the army and various defense industrial departments. They are the backbone of scientific research, production and teaching in China's national defense industry and shoulder the historical responsibility of ammunition research and development in China. At present, the demand for graduates of this major is increasing rapidly and graduates are snapped up. Domestic related scientific research institutes and factories urgently need to supplement talents in this field, and the contrast between supply and demand is strong. This talent market demand is a great driving force to promote the development of this major.
