Harbin Engineering University (zh-st|s=哈尔滨工程大学|t=哈爾濱工程大學) was founded in 1953, in Harbin, China. It used to host the PLA Military Engineering Institute, China's foremost institute in that field. Following the deterioration of China's relations with the USSR after the Sino-Soviet border conflict, it divided into six universities for security reasons. Harbin is now the key engineering university in China, encompassing engineering science and management as well as support programs on humanities and social sciences.

History

HEU traces its origin to the Military Engineering Academy established in Harbin on September 1, 1953. In 1970 Harbin Shipbuilding Engineering Institute (HSEI) was formed. With approval from the State Education Commission, HSEI changed its name to Harbin Engineering University in 1994, and ocean and marine projects became its main field of research.

The University has 7 colleges and 10 departments. It has a student body of over 10,700, and a staff of 2,100, including 158 professors, 465 associate professors, 2 academicians of the China Academy of Engineering, 2 members of the Disciplinary Appraisal Group in the Academic Degree Committee of the State Council, and more than 60 doctoral advisors.
