The College of Aerospace and Civil Engineering at Harbin Engineering University (HEU) dates back to the Department of Aerospace Engineering, which originally established by the tactical missile section of the Missile Engineering Department at PLA Military Engineering Institute. The college offers four undergraduate majors: Engineering Mechanics, Civil Engineering, Aircraft Design and Engineering, and Aircraft Power Engineering. Notably, Engineering Mechanics, Aircraft Power Engineering and Civil Engineering have earned recognition as national first-class undergraduate major construction points. Civil Engineering has received professional evaluation and certification from relevant authorities. Additionally, Engineering Mechanics, Civil Engineering, Aircraft Design and Engineering are considered key majors in Heilongjiang Province. The Virtual Teaching and Research Section (VTRS) of Engineering Mechanics is among the first batch of VTRS construction pilot projects approved by the Ministry of Education. The college holds the authority to grant master and PhD degrees in first-level disciplines, along with a postdoctoral research mobile station in Mechanics. Specially, master’s degrees encompass three first-level disciplines: Mechanics, Civil Engineering, and Aerospace Science and Technology, and two professional degrees in Civil Engineering and Water Conservancy and Machinery.
