Huazhong University of Science and Technology, directly under the former Ministry of Education. Formerly known as Huazhong Institute of Technology founded by the former Ministry of Higher Education 1953.

1953 in may, the Ministry of higher education decided to merge Huazhong university of science and technology and central south electric power institute, which are under construction, into one school and cancel the establishment of central south electric power institute. It consists of the power parts of all the mechanical and electrical departments of Wuhan University, Hunan University, Nanchang University and Guangxi University, as well as the power parts and power parts of the mechanical department of South China University of Technology. There are 8 undergraduate majors in mechanical manufacturing engineering, metal cutting technology and tools, automobiles, internal combustion engines, hydraulic power devices, thermal power devices (thermal power plant equipment), motors and electrical appliances, power plant distribution network and power system, and 4 specialist majors in metalworking, casting, automobile repair and maintenance, power plant distribution network and power system.

1953 In May, the Preparatory Committee of Huazhong Institute of Technology was established, with Cha Qian as the director and Liu Gancai and Zhu as the deputy directors.

On September 1953, 1 1, the school building project broke ground at the southern foot of Yujiashan, Wuchang.

"According to the actual situation of the school, three changes should be considered: from teaching center to teaching center and scientific research center; From engineering-oriented to a university integrating science, engineering, literature and management; While cultivating college students, we should put the cultivation of graduate students in an important position.

During this period, laser technology, computer science and technology, information engineering, microwave technology and other technical disciplines with broad development prospects have been established one after another. Established comprehensive and marginal disciplines such as systems engineering, biomechanics, engineering thermophysics and architecture; Specialties such as engineering mechanics, applied mathematics, applied chemistry and applied physics have been set up.
