The College of Aerospace and Civil Engineering has a rich history. It evolved from the Department of Aerospace Engineering, which was initially a part of the Tactical Missile Section within the Missile Engineering Department at the PLA Military Institute of Engineering. In 1978, we welcomed our first undergraduate students specializing in missile structural design, solid rocket engines, automatic missile control, and missile guidance.

In 1987, we made a significant move by allowing mutual conversion between the military and civilian sectors in the field of military industry. The Department of Architecture Engineering came into existence in 1995, building upon the major of Industrial and Civil Architecture (specifically Missile Structure Design) and the major of Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (focused on Solid Rocket Engines) from the Aerospace Engineering Department. This department expanded in 1997 to include a major in water supply and drainage engineering.

In 1999, we resumed enrollment for the aircraft design major, merging the mechanics major from the Department of Mathematics and Mechanics into the School of Architecture Engineering. In the same year, we officially established the School of Architecture Engineering. Later, in 2003, with the university's approval, the school was renamed as the School of Architecture Engineering (Department of Aerospace Engineering).

September 2007 marked the resumption of enrollment for the Aircraft Power Engineering major, and in 2008, we introduced the Quality and Reliability Engineering Major. In May of the same year, our institution underwent a renaming to become the College of Aerospace and Civil Engineering.

Presently, our college offers a comprehensive academic portfolio, including 1 doctoral program and postdoctoral mobile station in primary disciplines, 3 doctoral programs in secondary disciplines, 3 master's programs in primary disciplines, and 7 undergraduate majors. However, it's important to note that enrollment is currently suspended for three of our majors: Building Environment and Energy Application Engineering, Water Supply and Drainage Science and Engineering, and Aircraft Quality and Reliability.

Moreover, our college takes pride in having 2 ministerial-and-provincial-level key disciplines, 3 national first-class undergraduate discipline construction sites, 3 provincial-level first-class undergraduate major construction sites, 3 provincial-level first-class majors, and 1 national defense characteristic major.

The College presently has a faculty of 138 members, including 118 full-time teachers. Among them, there are 29 professors and 57 associate professors. Currently, the college has 30 doctoral supervisors and 101 master's supervisors. Impressively, 110 of our teachers hold doctoral degrees, making up 93% of our total full-time teaching staff. In terms of students, the College accommodates 2,059 individuals from various educational levels. This includes 1,350 undergraduate students, 565 master's students, 144 pursuing doctoral degrees, and 23 postdoctoral researchers.
