Brief Introduction of School of Mechanical Engineering

School of Mechanical Engineering is one of the oldest colleges of the university. There are four majors for bachelor’s degree: mechanical design, manufacturing and automation, mechatronics engineering, Industrial engineering,and robotics engineering.There is one first-level master degree program for mechanical engineering, which includes three second-level master degree programs: mechanical manufacturing & automation, machinery design and theories, and mechatronics engineering. As for mechanical manufacturing & automation, the college is entitled to grant its master degree in 1986 and it has been classified into the key subjects of Liaoning province in 2002. As for machinery design and theories, the college is entitled to grant its master degree in 1993 and it has been classified into the key subjects of Liaoning province in 2008. For the last one, the college is entitled to grant its master degree in 1995. The first-level of mechanic engineering was the one of the first subjects which has got the national qualification of granting master degree. The college was qualified for granting engineering master degrees for mechanic engineering field in 2002. Mechanic engineering has become the characteristic specialty of Liaoning province in 2011. At present, the college has one national base for Sino-Russian science and technology cooperation and eight provincial key labs and engineering centers. Two of the teams have been granted “Innovation team of Liaoning Province” and one researching team was given the title of “Excellent Teaching Team of Liaoning province”.

The college attaches great importance to teaching and research. There are nine teaching and research sections, eleven technological research rooms, one library and one laboratory center. The laboratory center is named as Liaoning provincial model mechanical engineering laboratory center, which includes digital control processing lab, cutting and special processing lab, fluid transmission and control lab, precision measurement lab, testing technique lab, mechanical system design lab, mechanical foundation lab, physical distribution lab and human factors engineering lab.

There are 120 staff members in the college, among whom 26 teachers are professors, 45 teachers are associate professors. 32 teachers have doctor’s degree. 4 teachers are student advisors for doctor’s degree; 71 teachers are student advisors for master’s degree.
