Shandong Polytechnic University used to be a public institution. At present, Shandong Polytechnic University, Shandong University and Shandong Medical University have merged into the new Shandong University, and Shandong Polytechnic University no longer exists.

People often say that "one book, two books" are actually divided according to the number of undergraduate admission batches, one for the first batch and two for the second batch. In the past, the enrollment batches of Shandong Polytechnic University in various provinces were generally undergraduate. In this case, it is generally believed that a school is an institution. At present, there is no distinction between one, two or three books.

The early teaching quality and postgraduate level of Shandong Polytechnic University are still very high. The leaders of many industrial departments and state-owned enterprises in Shandong Province were the workers at the foot of that era.
