中国近代史整体上以1840年为开端，而中国近代工程史的开端时间却延迟了二十年。鸦片战争期间出现了零星的开始仿制西方军械装备的试验活动，五口通商初期有外国人在华创办了近代的新式船舶修造业，但它们都不是标志中国近代工程史开端的历史事件。中国近代工程演化进程和洋务运动有密切联系，二者在开端上出现了某种重合现象，均都表现为五个历史事件的汇聚，这就使1861年成为了中国近代工程史的开端年份。但两者开端也有区别之处：洋务运动开端的“首要标志”是总理各国事务衙门的成立，而中国近代工程史开端的“首要标志”则是曾国藩创建的安庆内军械所的设立。

Although the First Opium War marked the beginning of the modern Chinese history as a whole ,the beginning of the history of modern engineering in China lagged behind for twenty years .During the First Opium War ,a small amount of the trials of manufacturing advanced Western weapons were carried out in China ,and in 1840s and 1850s some foreigners established some shipyards which were modernized to a certain degree in Guangzhou and Shanghai .However those two kinds of facts did not mark the beginning of the history of modern engineering in China .In the modern history of China ,the beginning of the his‐tory of modern engineering coincided with the beginning of the westernization movement .In 1861 ,five events occurred in China , which marked both the beginning of the westernization movement and of the history of modern engineering in China .The main difference lies in that the principal mark of the beginning of the westernization movement was the establishment of the office of foreign affairs ,while the beginning of the history of modern engineering in China was a small Anqing inner ordnance manufac‐turer established by Zeng Guofan .
