Introduction of the School of Mechanical Engineering
· The school of Mechanical Engineering develops gradually with the history evolution of Hebei University of Technology and Science, and has become one of the most important schools in this university. This school consists of the following four departments: Department of Mechanical Design Manufacture and Automation . Department of Energy and Power Engineering, Vehicle Engineering Department, Mechanical and Electronic Engineering Department, three teaching and research sections (Mechanical Fundamental, Engineering Mechanics and Engineering and Computer graphics), two experiment centers (Mechatronics Engineering, Mechanical Fundamental). The school possesses the following Province Engineering Research Centers: Hebei Province Research Center of Modern Integrated Manufacturing Engineering Technology, Hebei Province Demonstration Center of National Rapid Manufacturing Engineering Center, Hebei Province Additive Manufacturing Industry Technology Institute, Hebei Province General Aviation Additive Manufacturing Collaborative Innovation Center, Hebei Province Higher Education Innovation Base of Equipment Manufacturing, and Hebei Province Mechatronics Engineering Experiment Teaching Demonstration Center. Many training base, including Hebei Province Engineering Graphics, Hebei Province CAD Research Unit, Hebei Province Manufacturing Industry informationalization (Shijiazhuang) have been set in this school.
The school has five bachelor undergraduate specialties, including Mechanical Design Manufacture and Automation, Process Equipment and Control Engineering, Energy and Power Engineering, Vehicle Engineering and Mechanical and Electronic Engineering , and the former two specialties are provincial characteristic brand major. The school has the right to award master degree in mechanical engineering and power engineering and engineering thermophysics two first grade disciplines, and has the right to award specialty master degree in mechanical engineering field. The Mechanical Design Manufacture and Automation specialty is the Key Discipline of Hebei Province.
· There are 136 teachers, 33 professors, 36 vice professors in this school.
