1, Harbin Engineering University is an engineering university of 2 1 1, but it did not enter the 985 project. It is a national key university directly under the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of the People's Republic of China, jointly established by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Education, the People's Government of Heilongjiang Province and the PLA Navy. Although Harbin Engineering University has its own characteristics, it did not succeed in the selection of "985 Project".

2. The number of places selected for the 985 project is limited, and there are five 985 colleges and universities in Northeast China. Therefore, even though Harbin Engineering University is a subordinate university, it is difficult to be selected for the 985 Project again. Although Harbin Engineering University is strong in the field of ship and ocean engineering, its development speed is slow. In the process of college reform, Harbin Engineering University was forced to dismantle the military scientific research part, only retaining the dominant major of ships, and its comprehensive strength declined.
