It offers over 150 degree programs, 48 of which are conducted in English.^[1] Designated a Project 211 university, HEU is billed as a top institution for engineering and marine projects.^[2]

History

HEU traces its origins to the PLA Military Engineering Institute established in Harbin on September 1, 1953. In 1970 the university was renamed Harbin Shipbuilding Engineering Institute (HSEI; simplified Chinese: 哈尔滨船舶工程学院; traditional Chinese: 哈爾濱船舶工程學院; pinyin: Hāěrbīn Chuánbó Gōngchéng Xuéyuàn).

The current name has been in use since 1994.^[3]

HEU was one of the first universities authorized by the state to award master's and doctoral degrees.^[4]
