I. About Us
The School of Energy & Power Engineering of Huazhong University of Science and technology developed from the Department of Power engineering, which was founded in 1953. Fluid Machinery and Engineering is one of the six secondary discipline in The School of Energy and Power Engineering. The Predecessor of this discipline was consists of Hydraulic Machinery(1958)、Compressor（1960），which is the only Fluid Mechanical Discipline combined with water and gass. Fluid Machinery and Engineering is one of the earliest traditional and strengths discipline in our school.
We got the first batch of fluid machinery and engineering master's degree granting rights in 1981, and in 1993 we made the doctorate conferred right.
Now, the Fluid machinery and Engineering discipline has 12 teaching and researching staff, including one professor, 6 associate professors and 5 assistant professors as lecturer. The school also possesses a Thermal & Fluid Teaching and Experimental Center, which can provide good facilities for high quality special education and talent training.
