The four key engineering colleges, namely, the four famous key engineering colleges first established in China, are Nanjing Institute of Technology (now Southeast University), South China University of Technology (now South China University of Technology), Huazhong University of Science and Technology (now Huazhong University of Science and Technology) and Dalian University of Technology (now Dalian University of Technology).

Four polytechnics introduce Southeast University

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. Academician of the two academies 12; 34 departments and 83 undergraduate majors; There are 34 first-level discipline authorization points for doctoral degrees and 48 first-level discipline authorization points for master's degrees; There are 36,277 full-time students, including undergraduate students16,200 and graduate students (20,077).

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.

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.

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.

Comparison of the four universities of science and technology

First, humanities and social sciences+medicine: Chinese is leading.

In recent years, after the merger of universities, the comprehensive strength of Huazhong University of Science and Technology has advanced by leaps and bounds. In humanities and social sciences, law, philosophy, literature, economics and other fields. Above the average level in China. In the medical field, due to the merger of Tongji Medical University, the strength of clinical medicine is not weak, reaching A- level. At present, basic medicine is not only a national key discipline but also a world-class construction discipline, with good development prospects.

The other three "engineering schools" do not involve humanities and social sciences, and have not made much progress in the medical field (mainly not merged into medical universities), which is far from each other.

Second, science+management: Huake is still in the lead.

From a scientific and management point of view, Huazhong University of Science and Technology and Dalian University of Technology are both good, because Huake has three national first-class key construction disciplines, Dalian University of Technology has two, and the other two universities do not. In terms of academic strength, Hua Kobe is slightly better than Dalian University of Technology, but it has not yet reached the domestic first-class level. The best biology, physics, business administration and public administration are only A-, and most other science and management disciplines are B-level.

Third, engineering: Southeast University won completely.

China's "Four Institutes" mainly focus on engineering. First of all, from the perspective of key disciplines, Southeast University has the largest number of national key disciplines, while China University of Science and Technology, South China University of Technology and Dalian University of Technology are few, but there is not much difference in quantity. It can be seen that the strength gap between these four "polytechnics" in history is not big. However, from the perspective of first-class disciplines, Southeast University has the most, with 9 first-class construction disciplines, more than the other three combined.

In terms of discipline strength, Southeast University has four engineering A+ disciplines, namely civil engineering, traffic engineering, biomedical engineering and architecture, which are superior to other "engineering colleges".
