Zhejiang University of Technology (Chinese: 浙江工业大学 pinyin: Zhèjiāng Gōngyè Dàxúe) is a university which is located in city Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province. It is considered as one of the top industrial universities in mainland China [National top 10 [http://www.china-b.com/zixun/hebgydx/zixun_22385.html Chinese Industrial University Ranking: No.8] ] [National top 100 [http://rank2007.netbig.com/cn/rnk_2_2_0.htm Chinese University Ranking, Science & Technology Ranking: No.32] ] [ National top 100 [http://learning.sohu.com/20080228/n255417839.shtml 2008 Chinese University Ranking, Technology Ranking: No.51; "by Chinese Academy of Management"] ] [National top 100 [http://learning.sohu.com/dxphb/ 2008 Chinese University Ranking, Integrated (comprehensive) Ranking: No.80; "by Chinese Academy of Management"] ] and the second best university in Zhejiang Province after the most comprehensive university - Zhejiang University.

Engineering, especially chemical and biological engineering, are its strongest element. During the 1980s it made an effort to become a comprehensive technological university instead of a technological college. It keeps a close and broad relationship to industry.

It is a typical technical university of the new generation in main land China. It's an example that in the 80s, 90s some Chinese technical institutes changed from the former soviet specialized style into a much more comprehensive style.
