1959 mechanical engineering port department moved from the third floor of Wuchang to Yujiatou campus to build a port mechanical laboratory. 1July, 960, under the guidance of Lebedev, a Soviet expert, he graduated from the first undergraduate course of port machinery.
1962 adjustment departments of the Ministry of communications. In the planning, the port machinery specialty will be adjusted to Shanghai Maritime College, and Wuhan Maritime Engineering College will stop enrolling students. 1963, 1964 Shanghai Maritime College enrolled students for two semesters, and department of mechanical engineering sent a preparatory team to Shanghai to prepare for the enrollment.
1965 the Ministry of communications decided not to assign the major of port machinery to Shanghai maritime college. 1963, 1964, students majoring in port machinery transferred to Wuhan Waterway Engineering College. 1965 resumed enrollment in Wuhan Waterway Engineering College.
The Cultural Revolution began on 1966, and the school stopped enrolling students.
1972, under the national education form at that time, department of mechanical engineering port recruited workers, peasants and soldiers for five sessions 1972, 1973, 1974, 1975, 1976 * *. Run schools according to the principle of combining education with labor production.
1977, the state resumed the college entrance examination enrollment system, and the mechanical engineering port department enrolled two classes of undergraduate students majoring in port machinery that year.
1979 was appointed by the Ministry of Education and approved to hold a two-year national senior teaching assistant class (back to Shanghai class) in department of mechanical engineering Port to recruit students from the late graduates of the Cultural Revolution. 1982, the major of mechanical design and theory officially recruits graduate students. 1983, enrolling students from African countries for the first time. 1992, Ph.D. in mechanical design and theory.
1995 Wuhan Waterway Engineering College was renamed Wuhan Jiaotong University.
During the period of 1999, Wuhan Jiaotong University adjusted its disciplines and majors, merged the Department of Materials Engineering, the Department of Mechanical Principles and the Department of Mechanical Drawing on the basis of the Department of Mechanical Engineering, and established the School of Mechanical and Material Engineering.
In 2000, Wuhan University of Technology, Wuhan Jiaotong University and Wuhan Automobile Institute merged to form Wuhan University of Technology. 200 1 The Department of Logistics Engineering was established on the basis of the former College of Mechanical and Materials Engineering, and was renamed the College of Logistics Engineering in 2004.
