National University of Defense Technology is a comprehensive university, shouldering the important task of training senior science and engineering talents and national defense modernization command talents and engaging in key technologies of defense research. The school's predecessor was 1953, the Military Engineering Institute founded in Harbin, referred to as "Harbin Military Industry". 1970 the main body of the college moved south to Changsha, 1978 the school was transformed into the National University of Defense Technology. 1In April, 1999, Changsha Artillery College, Changsha Institute of Engineering and Changsha Institute of Political Science merged to form a new University of Defense Technology. The school is a graduate school approved by the State Council and the Central Military Commission. Five ","eight. 15 key institutions invested by the state during the fifth five-year plan period, and one of the first national key institutions to enter the "2 1 1 project" and receive special funds from the central government.
The school is located in the ancient city of Changsha, with a total area of 5632 mu, divided into four campuses, with advanced teaching, scientific research, experimental conditions and public service system. The school has three national key laboratories of national defense science and technology, 1 national "863" high-tech key laboratory, 1 key laboratory of military academies and a number of high-level teaching and research laboratories. The newly-built teaching building has an advanced computer-aided teaching system. The library has a collection of more than 6,543.8+6,000 volumes and more than 4,000 Chinese and foreign periodicals, and has established a complete retrieval system of "Four Scientific and Technological Reports of the American Government". The campus network has realized the interconnection with the national education and research network and the Internet.
The school consists of: Foundation Department, Aerospace and Materials Engineering College, Science College, Electromechanical Engineering and Automation College, Electronic Science and Engineering College, Computer College, Humanities and Management College, Artillery College, Engineering College, Political College and Continuing Education College.
In accordance with the principle of focusing on engineering, vigorously strengthening science, accelerating the development of various disciplines, actively developing management and humanities and social sciences, vigorously promoting interdisciplinary synthesis, creating marginal and emerging disciplines, and promoting the construction of discipline groups, the school has established a discipline and professional system with distinctive national defense characteristics, aiming at the forefront of world science and technology, and adapting to modernization and future national defense needs. There are 26 undergraduate programs, 40 master programs, 20 doctoral programs, 7 post-doctoral research stations and 2 national key disciplines.
The school has a team of teachers with high overall level, strong collective research ability and great development potential. In this team, there are not only old experts and professors who have great influence in academia, but also a group of cross-century academic leaders who have entered the national "100 million talents project" and a large number of emerging young academic backbones. Among them, China Academy of Sciences 1 person, China Academy of Engineering, International Academy of Astronautics 1 person, 93 in-service doctoral tutors and 334 master tutors; /kloc-more than 0/000 people have senior professional and technical positions; Was rated as 16 national "young and middle-aged experts with outstanding contributions"; Enjoy special government allowances for 99 people. A group of teachers with high academic level and rich teaching experience undertake the teaching of main courses, which provides a reliable guarantee for cultivating outstanding talents. The school often sends teachers and graduate students abroad to study and participate in international academic activities, invites professors and scholars from more than 20 countries and regions to give lectures or conduct academic exchanges, and also employs foreign teachers to teach in the school for a long time.
The school takes talent training as the center and plays three major functions: teaching, scientific research and social service. Persist in improving the high-level and multi-type training system for the coordinated development of undergraduate education, postgraduate education and continuing education. Efforts have been made to cultivate new talents with good comprehensive quality, compound knowledge structure and comprehensive ability, innovative spirit and innovative ability, and a large number of senior engineering and technical talents have been trained for the country. Over the past 45 years, * * * has trained more than 20,000 students of all kinds 1.2 million, of whom more than 200 have held provincial and ministerial leadership positions, and some of them have been rated as "Top Ten" or outstanding scientific and technological youth at the provincial and ministerial levels. Among them, Zou, an outstanding young man who won the "National Youth May 4th Medal", Qiu Bojun, a software wizard, and Gao Xiaoshan, the first batch of chief scientists in the field of mathematics in Chinese Academy of Sciences, are all outstanding graduates. Our school has achieved excellent results in many extracurricular academic and scientific competitions, such as the International Mathematical Modeling Competition for College Students. In this year's16th international mathematical modeling competition for college students, our school team won the highest prize-the special prize, becoming the only university outside the United States to win this honor. The school also implements the system of training outstanding undergraduates, recommending outstanding students to study for master's degree without examination, continuing to study for master's degree, continuing to study for master's degree and continuing to study for doctor's degree, which creates favorable conditions for talents to go out early and quickly.

In accordance with the scientific research policy of "facing national defense, standing at the forefront, focusing on key points and accelerating transformation", the school has obtained more than 3,000 key technical achievements in national defense research, such as Galaxy series supercomputers, created 18 "firsts" of major domestic scientific research achievements, and won more than 1400 national, national defense and ministerial scientific and technological progress awards. At present, there are about 600 scientific research projects in the school, and the total amount of scientific research funds and per capita scientific research funds rank among the top universities in China.
The school has good learning and living conditions, and students implement the supply system.
At present, the school is actively implementing the strategic decision of rejuvenating the country through science and education, making in-depth exploration, being brave in practice and constantly innovating, and striving to create a world-class university.
