History

Approved by the Ministry of Education in June 2000, the official name of HNIE came into being as a result of the merger of Xiangtan Institute of Machinery (机械工业部湘潭机电专科学校) and Electricity Technology and Hunan Textile College (湖南纺织专科学校). Xiangtan Institute of Machinery and Electricity Technology, founded in 1951, affiliated with the former National Ministry of Machinery Industry, was appraised to be the national key construction modeling school of higher technical colleges of engineering. Hunan Textile College, founded in 1978, was attached to the Hunan Provincial Bureau of Textile Industry. HNIE is under the joint support of the central government and Hunan provincial government, the latter being mainly in charge of its administration.
