Since the founding of Southeast University in 1902, Mechanical Engineering has been a core of the university's education and research programs. The School of Mechanical Engineering was founded in 1916, and over more than nine decades these engineers such as Mao Yisheng, Zhou Ren, Zhou Huijiu, Wu Xuerun, Yan Jici,Qian Zhonghan, Bai Shiyi, Chen Xuejun, Zeng Dechao, Yang Liming, Yan Minggao, Zhao Renkai, Wang Guojin, Tong Binggang, Ding Henggao and so on have driven uncounted technological innovations, fostered the development of the technology industry in Nanjing.
The School of Mechanical Engineering is home to four departments, 196 faculty, and about 1,200 students. We operate 18 graduate schools and 7 departmental laboratories, centers, and affiliates programs, many of which are multidisciplinary, bringing in academic areas including medicine, business, linguistics, and physics.
Institute tracking the forefront of international academic actively, and enhance international and domestic academic exchanges, promote the integration of many interdisciplinary, has won in Britain, Canada, Australia and other government-funded university cooperation program, with numerous international academic institutions set up extensive cooperation relationship.
