This subject is one of the main subjects when our university was founded in 1949. In 1981, the mechanical manufacturing subject was granted as one of the frst batch Doctor degree program by the State Council, and in 1988 was approved as the national key discipline by State Education Commission. Mechanical engineering was approved as doctoral degree program of frst-level discipline in 2000. ‘Mechanical Design / Manufacture and Automation’ is the national specialized major and gets the professional certifcation of national engineering education in 2010. “Precision/Non-traditional machining and micro-manufacturing technology” was listed as one of the key discipline of “985 Project” and “211 Project”. After years of effort, this subject has become a leading academic team leaded by two academicians of Chinese Academy of Science and Chinese Academy of Engineering and formed a young and mid-career academic echelon with new knowledge structure and active academic thinking. There are one national innovation group, one key group awarded by the Ministry of Science and Technology, one innovation group awarded by the Ministry of Education (MOE) and one national teaching group, the National Collaborative Innovation Center of Major Machine Manufacturing in Liaoning, the engineering training center which is one of the frst group of key construction of Ministry of Education, the Key Laboratory for Precision and Non-traditional Machining of Ministry of Education, the National Defence Key Laboratory of the Ministry of Education, and Liaoning Provincial Key Laboratory for Micro/Nano Technology and System, and Engineering Research Center for Mould & Plastics of Ministry of Education, Engineering Research Center for Hoisting Machinery of Liaoning Province and Research Center of Advanced Design and Manufacturing of Vehicle. In the research in the past fve years, this subject undertook two 973 basic research projects (as leading unit) and over 70 other projects including 863 high-tech projects and national key scientifc and technological projects. This subject has obtained one of frst class of national technology invention award, three national science & technology progress award (second class) and twenty ministerial and provincial awards.
