Even in terms of engineering strength, Sichuan University is similar to or even slightly stronger than Northeastern University, because the engineering of Sichuan University is the merged former Chengdu University of Technology, and together with the then University of Science and Technology of China and Zhejiang University, it is one of the three national key universities of the former Chinese Academy of Sciences (and later one of the more than a dozen key engineering universities of the former State Education Commission). In engineering, Northeastern University is excellent in machinery, metallurgy, mining, automation and other disciplines, Sichuan University is excellent in water conservancy, nuclear engineering, polymers, biomedicine, electricity and other disciplines, and both universities are excellent in computers and materials. In a word, the overall strength of engineering in the two universities is very strong, and the advantages of engineering specialty are also great.
As for liberal arts doctors, Sichuan University is a complete victory.
Therefore, Sichuan University is a strong university in arts, science and medicine, while Northeastern University is a typical engineering university. The engineering strength of the two universities is similar, but you just want to study engineering. Therefore, apart from analyzing the strength and regional preference of specific disciplines, it depends on what kind of school you want to go to.
