The School of Materials Science and Engineering of Northeastern University, located in Shenyang, Liaoning Province, was established on December 15th, 215, relying on the first-class discipline of Materials Science and Engineering as a national key discipline. The discipline of materials science and engineering in Northeastern University is one of the earliest materials disciplines in China. In 27, it was approved as a first-class national key discipline, covering three two disciplines of materials science, materials processing engineering and materials physics and chemistry. Among them, the discipline of materials science was awarded as the national key discipline in two disciplines in 22 and passed the assessment of national key disciplines in 27, and the discipline of materials processing engineering was awarded as the national key discipline in two disciplines in 27. In 212, the material processing project passed the "Washington Agreement Undergraduate Professional Certification of Engineering Education". President Zhao Ji, on behalf of the school party Committee and administration, expressed warm congratulations on the establishment of the college. Zhao Ji said that the metallurgical discipline and materials discipline of Northeastern University are the first batch of national key disciplines, with an excellent academic tradition of "seeking truth and being pragmatic and being the first". Its birth and development history are closely related not only to the development of Northeastern University, but also to the revitalization of the country, especially the metallurgical industry. Relying on these two disciplines, and on the basis of the College of Raw Materials and Metallurgy, the school gathers resources and integrates strength to establish a new College of Materials Science and Engineering, which is an important measure to deepen comprehensive reform, integrate discipline structure and optimize discipline layout, face the national innovation-driven strategy, the second revitalization of the old industrial base in Northeast China, and the new demand for the construction of the "National Innovation and Reform Experimental Zone" in Shenyang, and promote the first-class universities and first-class disciplines as a whole. Dean Qin Gaowu said in his speech that the development of the College of Materials Science and Engineering faces three major opportunities and three major challenges. Only by seizing the opportunity, facing the challenges directly and courageously moving forward can we usher in a better tomorrow for the College. The Amendment to the Law on Promoting the Transformation of Scientific and Technological Achievements promulgated by the state in March 215, the "7+1" major national strategy issued in August 215 and the Overall Plan for Promoting the Construction of World-class Universities and First-class Disciplines officially issued by the State Council in November 215 provide a good opportunity for the new materials and technologies developed by the College to be transformed into productive forces, to carry out long-span interdisciplinary integration in Shenyang, a national innovation and reform demonstration zone, and to strive to enter the world-class disciplines. Facing the three major challenges: the cultivation of students' comprehensive quality needs to be improved, the construction of teaching staff needs to be strengthened, and the reform of management system needs to be deepened, the college will change the cultivation mode of students, strengthen students' deep understanding and application of professional knowledge, strengthen the education of "respecting life" and humanistic quality, and establish the social responsibility and responsibility of each student; Through the dual channels of introduction and training, we will provide a larger and broader development platform for young teachers and cultivate more leading talents in the field of materials; Based on the principle of respecting teachers, students and the laws of teaching and scientific research, we should change management into service and truly manage the hospital by professors. The college will strive to create a talent training and academic atmosphere of "giving priority to scholars and students, respecting academics, tolerating individuality and developing independently", and forge ahead into the future and create a better future hand in hand.
