"Mechanical Engineering", in Zhejiang University of Science and Technology is a key discipline listed in "Zhejiang Twelfth- five" program, founded at the establishment of the university. In 1990, it is classified as one of the first government-level Sino-German cooperation project. The subject carries out research relying on  Province Key Laboratory of Food logistics, Hangzhou department of National Engineering Research Center for High Efficiency Grinding, two national engineering training center (National Construction Machinery Engineering Training Center and ZUST-APG Mechanism design, manufacturing and automatization training center), the first Zhejiang Key Scientific and Technological Innovation Team of Modern Logistics and Safety Control of Agricultural Products (as one of the lead units) , member of Industry-Academy-Research Alliances in Haining (established with t Haining provincial High-tech Zone as a lead unit) and other disciplinary platforms. We have formed distinct characteristics in the areas: modern logistics equipment manufacturing technology and systems integration, manufacturing technology of key parts in special vehicle, electromechanical numerical simulation and basic research system, reverse design and rapid manufacturing. There are currently 4 secondary subjects and 2 independent secondary subjects: "Mechanical Manufacturing and Automation", "Mechanical and Electrical engineering", "Mechanical design and theory", "Vehicle Engineering", "Energy Equipment and Energy Saving Technology" and "Creative Design and Manufacture". The main research directions: modern logistics equipment, ultra-precision processing and testing, mold design and manufacturing, intelligent transportation equipment and systems, electro-hydraulic control, automation equipment and systems, institutional innovation design theory and methods, mechanical and electrical equipment design technology, micro-nano systems design theory and methods, vehicle detection and vibration, modern design theory and methods of vehicles, new energy vehicle technology, automotive parts manufacturing automation technology, enhanced heat transfer equipment and low-pollution combustion technology, new energy equipment and technology, non-conventional energy equipment and basic theories research.   Vehicle Engineering（085234）        The vehicle engineering master's degree is established to train applied, complex and high level engineers and engineering management in vehicle parts design theory and methods, new energy vehicle control technology, vehicle detection and vibration technology, auto parts automated manufacturing technology and vehicle electric and intelligent control technology. Vehicle Engineering is a key discipline in Zhejiang Province. The master degree is approved in 2014, under the first grade mechanical engineering master's degree approved by the State Council Academic Degrees Committee. We focus on developing discipline and practice platform: Zhejiang Key Laboratory of Food Logistics Equipment and Technology, Automation Equipment Technology Institute, First Zhejiang Key Scientific and Technological Innovation Team of Modern Logistics and Safety Control of Agricultural Products, member of First Zhejiang Industry Technology Innovation Strategic Alliance and Zhejiang Electric Vehicle Industry Technology Innovation Strategic Alliance (as a governing unit), etc. There are three national engineering training center and 2 provincial experimental teaching demonstration center, listed in the first “Educating and Training Outstanding Engineers" by the Ministry of Education. In addition, We signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Zhejiang Auto Association, Hangzhou Automotive Industry Association in 2007, established "Academician Studio "leaded by Academician Konghui GUO of Chinese Academy of Engineering (first domestic academician in vehicle field) in 2009, joined Zhejiang Province Electric Vehicles Industry Technology Innovation Alliance in 2010, established Sino-German Automotive Electronics Research Institute in 2010, joined Zhejiang Automobile and Parts Industry Technological Innovation Service Platform in 2011, granted as the Zhejiang Demonstration Base introducing foreign intellect of network bus electrical system in 2013, founded Zhejiang Industry-Academy-Research Alliance in Haining with Haining provincial High-tech Zone in 2013.      There are 5 research directions: (1) Vehicle parts design theory and method, (2) new energy vehicle control technology, (3) vehicle detection and vibration technology, (4) auto parts automated manufacturing technology, (5) vehicle electrical and intelligent control technology.
