If Tsinghua's engineering is really a ride, then China's engineering majors should all come from Tsinghua, and Tsinghua's engineering teachers should all graduate from Tsinghua University. This is not an objective fact. Perhaps someone will cite the number of technical majors, the total number of teachers and students, the total number of doctoral degrees, the number of academicians, the number of key laboratories, research fees and so on. I think it's extremely shallow. This is about who is rich and who is more favored than others, not the overall strength of the project.

As a technical engineer engaged in 18, I have met many friends who graduated from different institutions, including Tsinghua, Harbin Institute of Technology, and even graduated from technical schools, and stepped onto the post of technical engineer step by step. Compared with Harbin Institute of Technology, Tsinghua is different in that (1) there is no strong industrial base as the backbone; (2) Harbin Institute of Technology is a department of national defense security, and students majoring in related technologies have passed the verification and can practice in the top industrial production and scientific research units of national defense security. Tsinghua, which is open to the outside world, is ashamed.

This is also one of the secrets of the quality of graduates from Harbin Institute of Technology. One more thing. Most graduates of Harbin Institute of Technology have professional work experience. In terms of technical work, Tsinghua graduates participate in politics or management in large numbers, and the training of talents in the two universities is tight and loose. Compared with Harbin Institute of Technology, Tsinghua wins in location, enrollment, teachers, budget and traditional culture. Except for the last item, these are all shameful areas of Harbin Institute of Technology, and it is unlikely to surpass Tsinghua. Even so, it is a big surprise that Harbin Institute of Technology can sit firmly in the top three in the country.

The 800 heroic spirit of Harbin Institute of Technology in its initial stage has not been lost. In the global ranking of engineering, only Harbin Institute of Technology and Tsinghua can compete in China, but only a little. Most people in China only realized that Harbin Institute of Technology had already surpassed Tsinghua in China in socialist society after it was sanctioned by the United States as the ancestor of colleges and universities. If Tsinghua is still arguing that not all his disciples are in Silicon Valley, Tsinghua will be left behind by the times and there is no need to compete with Harbin Institute of Technology.
