The Nanjing University of Science and Technology can be traced back to 1953, as Department of Artillery Engineering of Institute of Military Engineering of the PLA (People's Liberation Army) in Harbin. Since its establishment, it aims on serving national strategies and promoting social progress. In 1962, the campus moved to Nanjing. The name of the university changed many times, and finally determined as current name in 1993. In September 1998, the name on the school badge was inscribed by Chinese president and general secretary of the Communist Party Jiang Zemin.[3] Since June 2008, the Nanjing University of Science and Technology has been subordinated to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.
