Harbin Military Engineering Institute (hereinafter referred to as Harbin Military Engineering) is a military engineering institution with a special status and important influence in the history of China. Although today's Kazakhstan military industry has evolved into Harbin Engineering University, its influence in the field of military science and technology and education is still far-reaching.
In the context of the 211 project and the 985 project, the Kazakh military industry is not directly listed as a 211 or 985 university. This is mainly because the Harbin Military Industry has been renamed Harbin Institute of Shipbuilding Engineering in 1970, and gradually transformed into a multidisciplinary research university focusing on engineering in the subsequent development. However, Harbin Engineering University, as the successor of Kazakhstan's military industry, gradually emerged in its later development and was included in the list of "211 Project" and "Double First-Class" construction universities.
Although the Kazakh military industry itself did not directly participate in the selection of the 211 or 985 projects, its contributions in the field of military science and technology and education cannot be ignored. At the beginning of its establishment, Kazakhstan's military industry has been committed to cultivating high-level military engineering and technical personnel, and has made great contributions to China's national defense construction and the development of military science and technology. Even after the transformation into Harbin Engineering University, it still maintains its leading position in the shipbuilding industry, marine engineering and other fields, and provides strong support for China's national defense construction and national economic development.
In general, although Kazakhstan's military industry itself is not directly listed as a 211 or 985 university, its contribution and influence in the field of military science and technology and education cannot be underestimated. As the predecessor of Harbin Engineering University, Harbin Military Industry has laid a solid foundation for China's national defense construction and the development of military science and technology, and also provided strong support for the rise of Harbin Engineering University in the field of engineering education and scientific research.
