1952 After the departmental adjustment, the Government Affairs Bureau of the Central People's Government set up eight key engineering colleges in seven administrative regions of China, including four key engineering colleges directly under the Ministry of Education, namely, the earliest four famous key engineering colleges in China, namely Nanjing Institute of Technology (now Southeast University), South China Institute of Technology (now South China University of Technology), Huazhong Institute of Technology (now Huazhong University of Science and Technology) and Dalian Institute of Technology (now Dalian University of Technology).

Introduction of four engineering colleges in Southeast University 1

Southeast University is a national key university directly under the Ministry of Education of China. It is one of the first national key universities to build a world-class university (Class A), the "985 Project" and the "21Project". It has campuses such as Sipailou, Jiulong Lake and Dingjiaqiao, and 299 1 full-time teachers. Doctoral supervisor 107 1, master supervisor 2 166.

2. South China University of Technology

South China University of Technology is located in Guangzhou, directly under the Ministry of Education of People's Republic of China (PRC) and the People's Government of Guangdong Province. It is a national key university determined by the Ministry of Education and the Guangdong Provincial People's Government. It ranks among the national "double-class" (Grade A), "2 1 1 Project" and "985 Project". Good at engineering, combination of science and engineering, management, economy and science.

3. Huazhong University of Science and Technology

Huazhong University of Science and Technology, located in Wuhan, Hubei Province, is a comprehensive research-oriented national key university directly under the Ministry of Education of People's Republic of China (PRC), and one of the first world-class universities in China (Class A). Selected as "985 Project" and "2 1 1 Project". There are eight "double first-class" construction disciplines, seven national key disciplines are first-class disciplines, 15 two disciplines national key disciplines and seven national key (cultivation) disciplines.

4. Dalian University of Technology

Dalian University of Technology, located in Dalian, is a national key university directly under the Ministry of Education of China. The Ministry of Education and the State Bureau of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense have established universities, and the Ministry of Education, Liaoning Province and Dalian City have established universities. The national "985 Project" and "2 1 1 Project" are the key construction projects of "building a first-class university in the world". Dalian Lingshui, Development Zone and Panjin campuses offer 88 undergraduate majors. There are 29 first-class doctoral programs, 42 first-class master programs and 25 post-doctoral research stations. There are 4082 faculty members, 4737 doctoral students and 65438 master students +03 17 1 undergraduate students.

What are the top four engineering colleges? Judging from the above comprehensive rankings, the top four engineering colleges should be: the former Huazhong University of Science and Technology (now Huazhong University of Science and Technology). Let's take a look at the basic information of this university first.

① Basic information of Huazhong University of Science and Technology

Huazhong University of Science and Technology is one of the "985", "2 1 1" and "double-class" universities, and it is a key comprehensive university directly under the Ministry of Education. The school is located in Wuhan, the capital of Hubei Province. Covering an area of more than 7000 mu, the green coverage rate is 72%. It is known as "Forest University".

② Discipline construction

Huazhong University of Science and Technology has 106 undergraduate majors, 46 first-class disciplines authorized by master's degrees, 44 first-class disciplines authorized by doctoral degrees, and 39 post-doctoral research stations. In the fourth round of discipline evaluation by the Ministry of Education, Huazhong University of Science and Technology 14 discipline was rated as Class A discipline.

Among them, mechanical engineering, optical engineering, biomedical engineering, public health and preventive medicine were rated as A+ files (the first in the country); Journalism and communication, electrical engineering, computer science and technology were awarded Grade A (2% ~ 5%); Seven disciplines, including physics, biology, power engineering and engineering thermophysics, control science and engineering, clinical medicine, business administration, and public administration, were awarded Grade A (5%~ 10%).

③ Teachers' strength

Huazhong University of Science and Technology now has more than 3,600 full-time teachers, including professors 1300, associate professors 1400 and academicians 18. Chief scientist of "973" Project 15 person. There are 87 chief scientists of R&D national key projects. There are 9 national famous teachers and 43 winners of national talent project. 224 people were selected into the New Century Excellent Talents Support Program of the Ministry of Education.

Judging from the above data, Huazhong University of Science and Technology has a strong faculty, complete discipline construction, top disciplines and many excellent disciplines. The school is located in Wuhan, a fortress city in central China, and has countless rich resources. It is a university that occupies the right place and the right time. As the first of the four major engineering schools, it deserves its name.
