==History==
[[File:NEU China, old logo designed by Lin Hui-Yin.jpg|thumb|An old Northeastern University logo designed by [[Lin Huiyin|Lin Huiyun]], China's first female modern architect and faculty member in the Department of Architecture, featuring [[Changbai Mountain]] and [[Heilongjiang River]] in Northeastern China]]

In 1921, the parliament of Feng Tian province passed a bill on uniting [[Jilin]] and [[Heilongjiang]] province leading to the establishment of the Northeastern University. The main objective is to reserve talent and invigorate education.{{Cn|date=October 2024}}
The Northeastern University was founded on April 26, 1923, in [[Shenyang]] (then known as [[Shenyang|Fengtian]]), in response to warlord [[Zhang Zuolin]]'s order in early 1921 to establish [[tertiary education]] and expand the [[talent pool]] of the Northeast. After [[Huanggutun Incident|Zhang Zuolin's assassination by the Japanese]], his son [[Zhang Xueliang]] inherited the command of the Northeast, assumed the title of co-president of the university in August 1928, and became the university's most important financial and political patron in its early history. With Zhang's generous support, the institution attracted top scholars and educators from throughout the nation (e.g. [[Zhang Shizhao]], [[Huang Kan]], [[Liang Sicheng]] and [[Lin Huiyin]]), and quickly developed into a top-tier comprehensive university, with six schools for [[science]], [[engineering]], [[humanities]], [[jurisprudence|law]], [[agriculture]] and [[school of education|education]]. By the end of the 1920s, it was the biggest and best-resourced tertiary institute in China, with a budget tripling that of the [[Peking University]].
 
In 1922, a preparatory committee of Northeastern University is established.{{Cn|date=October 2024}}
Less than a decade after the university was founded, the [[Imperial Japan]]ese [[Kwantung Army]] [[Mukden Incident|attacked and captured Shenyang]] on September 18, 1931, and then proceeded to invade and annex all of Northeast China and reorganized the region into the [[puppet state]] of [[Manchukuo]]. the Northeastern University was forced to evacuate its campus after the fall of Shenyang and became the first exiled university in Chinese history, being relocated to [[Beiping]] during the height of the [[December 9th Movement]], with its more than 70 students continuing their study at the then-private [[Nankai University]]. Five years later, the university was relocated further west to [[Xi'an]] in 1936, then temporarily to a borrowed [[Henan University]] campus at [[Kaifeng]] in January 1937, before renamed '''National Northeastern University''' ({{zh|t=國立東北大學|labels=no}}) and relocated back to Xi'an in June.
 
In April 1923, Northeastern University was founded, with [[Wang Yongjiang]], the then acting governor of Feng Tian Province, appointed as its first president. The university opened school of Literature and Laws at the former location of the Feng Tian Literature school, and school of science and engineering at the former Shenyang Higher Normal School.{{Cn|date=October 2024}}
After the [[Marco Polo Bridge Incident]] on July 7, 1937, the Japanese launched a full-scale invasion of [[North China]]. Like many other national universities in China during the [[Second Sino-Japanese War]], the Northeastern University was again displaced in 1938 and relocated further away from the approaching [[front line]] to [[Santai]] in [[Sichuan]], where it remained for the next 8 years and contributed to the establishment of the National Northwest Institute of Technology ({{zh|t=國立西北工學院|labels=no}}, the precursor of [[Northwestern Polytechnical University]] and [[Tianjin University]]). After [[Japan's surrender]], the university returned to its original campus in Shenyang in May 1946, while some staff of its Education faculty remained in Sichuan and later became the [[Sichuan Normal University]] and [[China West Normal University]].
 
In August 1928, General [[Zhang Xueliang]] served as the university president. In 1929, Zhang invited [[Liu Bannong]] to write the lyrics of the university song and [[Zhao Yuanren]] to compose the music. Later, the song was adapted and improved by Lv Yuan, a famous composer.{{Cn|date=October 2024}}
After the establishment of the [[China|People's Republic of China]] in 1949, Northeastern University was renamed '''Northeast Institute of Technology''' ({{zh|t=东北工学院|labels=no}}, NIT) in August 1950 and became primarily an engineering school, before finally reverting to its original name of Northeastern University on March 8, 1993.
 
Following the [[Mukden incident]] in 1931, the Japanese army seized control of the campus of the university, resulting in the university being forced into exile. In October, the university resumed academic activities in [[Beiping]].{{Cn|date=October 2024}}
Northeastern University was selected to participate in the [[211 Project]] and [[Project 985]], nationwide government initiatives to expand and modernize the Chinese university system, including significant government funding and subsidies for constructing state-of-the-art academic facilities. The university is also part of the national government's initiative to replace Northeast China's heavy manufacturing industry with a modern high-tech manufacturing economy.
 
In 1936, the School of Engineering of Northeastern University moved to [[Xi'an]], establishing a branch school. After the [[Xi'an Incident]] in December led to the imprisonment of university president Zhang, the [[Nationalist government|Nationalist government of China]] appointed educator [[Zang Qifang]] as the acting president of the school in January 1937. Subsequently ,in June, the school moved to Xi 'an entirely.{{Cn|date=October 2024}}
==Academics==
 
In the spring of 1938, due to heavy bombardment on Xi'an by the Japanese Air Force and the deteriorating situation, Northeastern University moved to [[Santai]], [[Sichuan]].{{Cn|date=October 2024}}
{{More citations needed section|date=September 2022}}
 
In May 1946, following the victory in the [[Second Sino-Japanese War]], the faculty and students of Northeastern University relocated back to Shenyang.{{Cn|date=October 2024}}
Northeastern University consists of the School of Liberal Arts and Law, the School of Business Administration, the School of Sciences, the School of Resources and Civil Engineering, the School of Materials Science and Metallurgy, the School of Mechanical Engineering and Automation, the School of Information Science and Engineering, Sino-Dutch School of Biomedical and Information Engineering, and the Department of Foreign Languages. It has 46 undergraduate programs, 53 master's degree programs, and 23 doctoral degree programs, as well as an adult education program.
 
In March 1949, the Northeastern University was dissolved by the Northeast Administrative Commission. As the result, the School of engineering and part of the School of Science of the Northeastern University were transformed into Northeastern Engineering College, operating under the affiliation of the Ministry of Metallurgical Industry of China. The campus is located in Nanhu, Shenyang.{{Cn|date=October 2024}}
