Length of schooling: 4 years
Degree: Bachelor of Engineering
The Mechanical design,manufacturing and its automation originated from the major in Forest harvesting and transportation in the early years of the university. It officially enrolled students under the current major name in 2003 and enrolled international students in 2016. This major was listed as a key major of Zhejiang Province in 2009, as an emerging specialty of Zhejiang Province in 2014, and as a first-class major construction point of Zhejiang Province in 2019. In 2011, it was approved as a master's program in Agricultural Mechanization.In 2014, as a master's program in Mechanical Engineering, and in 2018 as a doctoral program in Forestry Engineering to establish the direction of Forestry Equipment and Informatization. There are 29 full-time teachers, including 5 professors, 7 associate professors, 1 senior engineer, and 1 senior experimentalist, 69% of the teachers have a doctor's degree and 1 provincial and ministerial level talent. The teachers form a teaching and research team with high educational level, reasonable title structure, echelon level, and academic specialization. In the past three years, the average graduate student enrollment rate of 19.3%. In the past 3 years, students of this major have participated in many first-class competitions such as the "Challenge Cup" Extracurricular Academic Science and Technology Works Competition for College students, Internet +, Industrial Training Competition, China Robot Competition, National 3D Digital Competition, etc. The students have won more than 80 awards in provincial and above-discipline competitions. In 2018, we won 2 national awards, including 1 first prize in the National competition. In 2019, we won 9 national awards, including 2 first prizes in the national competition. In 2020, we won 12 national awards, including 5 first prizes in the national competition.
