The School of Mechanical Engineering at Shenyang University of Technology was established in 1999, and its history can be traced back to the Metal Cutting Department founded in 1949. The school has the authority to confer bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral degrees. It also has a postdoctoral research station for mechanical engineering that has been greatly supported by both the Ministry of Education of the People’s Republic of China and the Educational Department of Liaoning Province.
Our school currently has a total of 2,978 people, including 159 faculty members, 1,761 undergraduates, 885 master’s students, and 173 doctoral students. Among the faculty members, there are 37 professors, 51 associate professors and senior engineers, and 52 doctoral supervisors.
Our school currently offers five undergraduate majors. They are Mechanical Design, Manufacturing and Automation, Industrial Engineering, Industrial Design, Vehicle Engineering, and Intelligent Manufacturing Engineering. Among them, the majors in Mechanical Design, Manufacturing and Automation, Industrial Engineering, and Industrial Design have been designated as National First-class Undergraduate Major Construction Sites and the major in Vehicle Engineering as a Provincial First-class Undergraduate Major. In particular, the major in Mechanical Design has been designated as a pilot major under the Excellent Engineer Training Program formulated by the Ministry of Education and Manufacturing and Automation as a pilot major of comprehensive educational reform under the 2024–2035 Master Plan by the Ministry of Education. These two majors have passed the accreditation of the China Engineering Education Accreditation Association three times in a row. The major in Industrial Engineering has been designated as a National-level Characteristic Undergraduate Major Construction Site and a Provincial-level Demonstration Undergraduate Major in Liaoning Province. The major in Industrial Design has been designated as a Key Undergraduate Major Construction Site in Liaoning Province and a pilot major under the Innovation and Entrepreneurship Education Reform Program. Three courses, Mechanical Principles, Geometric Measurement Accuracy Design and Inspection, and Rural Revitalization and Poverty Alleviation through Design, have been approved as National First-class Undergraduate Courses, and other 21 courses have been approved as Provincial First-class Undergraduate Courses.
Our school boasts a strong academic atmosphere in scientific research. There are 3 National-level Science and Technology Innovation Platforms and 8 Provincial-level and Ministerial-level Science and Technology Innovation Platforms at our school. Over the past decade, our school’s scientific and technological achievements have consistently been at the forefront in China in such areas as Theory and Technology of Instantaneous Center Envelope CNC Milling and R&D of CNC Equipment, Laser Additive Manufacturing Equipment with Multi-system Coordinated Control, High-performance Manufacturing of Ultra-precision Full Ceramic Ball Bearings and R&D of High-end CNC Machine Tool Spindle Systems, Vibration, Shock, and Noise Control, and Design of Submersible Screw Pump Oil Production System. These achievements primarily serve the equipment manufacturing industry, petroleum, electric power, and defense industries. So far, our achievements have won 2 second prizes of National-level Science and Technology Progress Awards and 10 first prizes of Provincial-level and Ministerial-level Science and Technology Progress Awards.
To cultivate excellent engineering talents and construct National First-class Disciplines, our school has always been adhering to the motto of “cultivating virtue and educating people”. Over the course of more than 70 years, our school has already cultivated many leading talents for the development and construction of the national economy, including the CAS Members, the Yangtze River Scholars, the National May 1st Labor Medal Winners, the Great Craftsmen Winners, and leaders of large and medium-sized state-owned enterprises. And our graduates have been highly praised by their employers.
Facing the new era, our school will continue to serve the local economic and social development so as to contribute to the Chinese path to modernization.
