2. 1962 The former Metallurgical Department of Kunming University of Science and Technology enrolled non-ferrous alloy and heat treatment majors. 1969 was renamed as Metallurgy and Heat Treatment, with a teaching and research section.
3. 1973 The former Kunming University of Science and Technology established the Iron and Steel Department, and 1976 enrolled students majoring in steel rolling.
4. 1974 The former Yunnan Institute of Technology was established, with a teaching and research section on casting and heat treatment, which belongs to the mechanical department and recruits casting technology and equipment majors and metallography and heat treatment majors.
5. 1980 The former Kunming Institute of Technology renamed the original steel rolling major as the metal pressure processing major, and merged with the metallurgy and heat treatment major originally belonging to the metallurgy department to form the metal material department, and later renamed it as the metal material and heat treatment major.
6. 199 1 The former Department of Mechanical Engineering of Kunming University of Science and Technology established the welding teaching and research department. At the same time, the major of casting technology and equipment was changed to the major of hot working technology and equipment, including casting and welding. 1993 the casting teaching and research section and the welding teaching and research section were merged to form the hot working technology and equipment teaching and research section.
7. 1994 Yunnan Institute of Technology was renamed Yunnan University of Technology, and department of mechanical engineering was renamed Mechanical Engineering College. 1996 The major of casting and metal heat treatment was merged into the major of hot working technology and equipment, including casting, metal heat treatment, mold design and manufacturing, metallurgy and welding.
8. 1997 The former Yunnan University of Technology established the School of Mathematics and Physics Materials and the Department of Materials, and enrolled materials science and engineering majors, focusing on functional materials.
9.1February 1995, the original Kunming University of Science and Technology was renamed Kunming University of Science and Technology. During the period of 1997, department of mechanical engineering of Kunming University of Science and Technology merged the four majors of thermal processing technology and equipment, mechanical manufacturing technology and equipment, mechanical design and manufacturing, and mechatronics into the major of mechanical engineering and automation.
10. 199 10, the former Kunming University of Science and Technology merged with Yunnan University of Technology to form a new Kunming University of Science and Technology. Department of mechanical engineering, the former Kunming University of Science and Technology, merged with the former School of Mechanical Engineering of Yunnan University of Technology to form the School of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering, and the corresponding hot processing technology and equipment teaching and research department merged. In August 2004, the Department of Material Forming and Control Engineering was established. The undergraduate major is mechanical engineering and automation, advanced molding and manufacturing direction, and three modules.
When the two universities merged, the former Department of Metallurgy and Materials of Kunming University of Science and Technology and the former Department of Materials of Yunnan University of Technology merged to form the School of Materials and Metallurgical Engineering, and the Department of Metal Materials and the Department of Inorganic Non-metallic Materials were established to recruit majors in metal materials engineering and inorganic non-metallic materials engineering respectively. In 2003, the key laboratory of preparation and processing of new materials in Yunnan Province was built by personnel from the Department of Metal Materials. In 2002, the School of Materials and Metallurgical Engineering established the Department of Gemstone Materials and Technology, and in the same year, it enrolled undergraduate majors in Gemstone Materials and Technology. In 2006, the department of metal materials and the department of inorganic nonmetallic materials merged into the department of materials science and engineering, and enrolled undergraduate majors in materials science and engineering.
11.In August, 2009, the College of Materials Science and Engineering of Kunming University of Science and Technology was established by discipline adjustment. The Department of Material Forming and Control Engineering of the School of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering, the Department of Materials Science and Engineering of the School of Materials and Metallurgical Engineering, and the Department of Gemstone Materials and Technology are the key laboratories of new material preparation and processing in Yunnan Province.
