Shenyang Aerospace University (SAU), formerly known as Shenyang Institute of Aeronautical Engineering, is a public university in Shenyang, Liaoning, Northeast China. It educates students for supporting the military and civil aviation industries of China.

History

[edit | edit source]

Founded in 1952, the university was initially administered by the Ministry of Aeronautical & Astronautical Industry, and later by the China General Corporation of Aeronautical Industry.[1] Since 1999, SAU has been under the administration of the Liaoning Provincial Government and is the only university owned by the China Industry and Information Technology Ministry and the Liaoning Provincial Government. It is one of the eight universities constructed by the former China National Defence Ministry and local provincial governments. In addition, it is the only university of aeronautical and astronautical engineering in Liaoning Province.[citation needed]

On 18 March 2010 the China Ministry of Education approved the name change from Shenyang Institute of Aeronautical Engineering (SYIAE) to Shenyang Aerospace University (SAU).[2]
