The School of Materials Science and Engineering at Harbin Institute of Technology was founded in 1952. It is an important birthplace for cultivating advanced professionals in the fields of materials and processing technology in China. It is one of the first batch of doctoral degree authorization points, the first batch of postdoctoral mobile station, and the first key discipline for the "Double First Class" construction in China. The first round of Double First Class Construction was rated as "Significantly Effective" and entered the "Excellence Discipline Training". In May 2024, the "Materials Science" discipline of Harbin Institute of Technology successfully entered the top ten thousandth of ESI international rankings (two disciplines in total in our univerisity).

The School of Materials Science and Engineering at Harbin Institute of Technology (Weihai) was founded in 1989 and is an important part of the Materials Science and Engineering discipline at Harbin Institute of Technology. It began admitting and training its first undergraduate students in 1997, established the Department of Materials Science and Engineering in 2001, and officially enrolled its first master's students. In 2004, the School of Materials Science and Engineering was founded. There are currently two key disciplines in Shandong Province, namely Materials Processing Engineering and Materials Science, as well as five undergraduate majors: Material Forming and Controlling Engineering, Welding Technology and Engineering, Materials Science and Engineering, Electronic Packaging Technology, and Intelligent Materials and Structures. Among them, Material Forming and Controlling Engineering, Material Science and Engineering, and Welding Technology and Engineering are important components of the national first-class undergraduate majors, while Welding Technology and Engineering and Electronic Packaging Technology are characteristic majors in Shandong Province. Material Forming and Controlling Engineering has been selected as a first-class undergraduate major in Shandong Province, and Intelligent Materials and Structures is the first new engineering major in the material category aimed at "Made in China 2025" in China, and has been selected as a first-class undergraduate major in Heilongjiang Province.

The college has established multiple provincial and ministerial level scientific research platforms, including the International Joint Research Center for Marine Engineering Materials and Deep Processing Technology of the Ministry of Science and Technology, the Weihai Branch of the National Key Laboratory for Precision Welding and Joining of Materials Structures, the Weihai Branch of the Key Laboratory of Microsystems and Microstructure of the Ministry of Education, the Shandong Provincial Key Laboratory of Special Welding Technology, the Shandong Provincial Key Laboratory of Military-Civilian Dual Use New Materials and Products, the Shandong Provincial High Performance Component Forming Process and Equipment Engineering Technology Research Center, as well as multiple teaching and research platforms such as school enterprise joint research and development centers.

There are 87 teaching staff in the college, 66 full-time teachers (including 25 professors, 24 associate professors, 31 doctoral supervisors and 44 master's supervisors), including 2 national high-level talents, 3 national high-level young talents, 4 provincial high-level talents, 13 provincial high-level young talents, and more than 10 part-time professors from well-known universities and research institutions at home and abroad (including 3 academicians of the CAE Member). The college aims at the forefront of international discipline development and national major engineering needs, and has formed four research directions: high-performance material design and preparation, high-performance forming and equipment for complex structure, advanced joining and special welding, and intelligent materials. In recent years, we have undertaken more than 200 major technological research and development projects, including national key projects, provincial major scientific and technological innovation projects, and strategic projects in the Blue and Yellow Zones, with an average annual funding of over 50 million yuan. We have published over 300 scientific and technological papers, and have won national, ministerial, and provincial awards for multiple scientific research achievements. These achievements have been applied in fields such as aerospace, national defense and military industry, rail transit, and marine engineering.

The college currently has over 1000 undergraduate students and over 300 graduate students. Adhering to the motto of Harbin Institute of Technology, which emphasizes "Strict specifications, thorough workmanship", and the motto of "Genuine materials, forged and welded masterpieces ", we have formed the educational philosophy of "One fundamental principle, two dimensions, three layers, and four integrations". Based on the fundamental goal of cultivating talents in first-class disciplines, first-class undergraduate majors, and new engineering majors, we implement two-way teaching in schools and enterprises, three-level teaching in classrooms, experiments, and practices, and four element integration teaching in Government-Teaching, Scientific Research-Teaching, Competition-Teaching, and Industry-Teaching, so that students can acquire the ability to analyze and solve problems using professional knowledge, and strive to improve the quality of cultivating outstanding engineers and engineering leaders.

The college has constantly strengthened the talent cultivation characteristics of "Solid foundation, Strong practice, Rigorous process, and Pursuit of innovation ". Every year, college students win dozens of awards in various national science and technology competitions, including 14 national awards in the China International Undergraduate Innovation Competition (the original Internet plus Competition), the "Challenge Cup" National Undergraduate Extracurricular Academic Science and Technology Works Competition, and the China Undergraduate Entrepreneurship Plan Competition (including 2 gold awards, 2 silver awards, and 1 first prize in the Challenge Cup). The implementation rate of undergraduate graduates' employment prospects remains above 98%, with a domestic postgraduate enrollment rate of 55% (of which over 90% are admitted to C9 universities), and an overseas study rate of over 7%. Among the contracted employment students, over 80% enter the national defense and military industry fields such as aerospace, aviation, nuclear power, shipbuilding, electronics, as well as other key units such as central enterprises, state-owned enterprises, Fortune 500 companies, and listed companies, and are favored by employers.

The college attaches great importance to the internationalization process of teaching staff, talent cultivation and scientific research. In 2025, the Ministry of Education approved the Sino-foreign cooperative education project for the major of Smart Materials and Structures (4+0 with Hanyang University, South Korea). At the same time, it has established a stable scientific research cooperation relationship or joint-supervision with the National University of Singapore, the University of Birmingham, the University of Manchester, the University of London and other famous universities to provide students with 3+1+1, 3+2, 3+1 and other opportunities to study abroad.
