This allowed the university to become a comprehensive university with specializations in engineering and sciences. This university was awarded as Garden-like School Advanced Collective award and some other prizes by the local government. The development of the Center campus was another very important milestone. Now it has several campuses which cover about 2035 acres with fixed assets worth 0.8 billion yuan and teaching equipment worth 120 million yuan.
