1933, mechanical engineering museum (located on the east side of the second school gate, now the Department of Thermal Engineering) started construction.
1934 aircraft and automobile engineering group was renamed aviation engineering group, and automobile engineering part was merged into prime mover engineering group.
1935 In the spring, the Mechanical Engineering Museum was completed, and the thermal laboratory was on the first floor. On the east side of the First Hospital (Tsinghua School), there are machinery manufacturing workshops such as metal, wood, forging and casting. At that time, most laboratory equipment was purchased from Europe and America. "Compared with the mechanical experimental equipment of European and American universities, it is the most complete mechanical laboratory in China."
1in the autumn of 935, the national mechanical engineering community plans to establish the "China Mechanical Engineering Society". Among the seven sponsors, there are four professors from department of mechanical engineering, Tsinghua University: Liu Xianzhou, Zhuang, and Wang Shizhuo. The preparatory office is located in Tsinghua University. The Society was formally established in May, 1936. Mr. Zhuang was re-elected as the previous vice president, and Mr. Zhuang became the vice president of the society after 1945.
1937 when War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression broke out, Tsinghua, Peking University and Nankai University moved south to form Changsha Temporary University. 1February, 938, Changsha moved to Kunming and became the National Southwest Associated University. During my stay at National Southwest Associated University, department of mechanical engineering was the largest department with the largest number of students. The head of the department of Changsha Linda and The National SouthWest Associated University was Mr. Li Jixiang.
1945 After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the three schools that formed the National Southwest Associated University returned to the north respectively, and Tsinghua University resumed school on 10 the following year. There are 340 students in department of mechanical engineering after the resumption of study, which is the largest department in the whole school. In the next two years, in addition to restoring the original thermal laboratory and gold factory, department of mechanical engineering also built a new metallurgical laboratory. 1950, Mr. Zhuang was re-appointed as the department head.
From 65438 to 0949, when Beiping was liberated, most faculty members of the Department of Mechanical Engineering stayed in the school and participated in the construction of Tsinghua University in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China. The first dean of the New Tsinghua department of mechanical engineering was Mr. Zhuang. By the summer of 1952, there were about 100 people in department of mechanical engineering, regardless of major or small class. The first three grades are taught together, and the fourth grade is divided into power group and manufacturing group. 195 1-
1952 prime mover group is divided into power group and automobile group.
1952 The departments of colleges and universities in China were adjusted. The mechanical departments of Peking University and yenching university were transferred to Tsinghua University and merged with department of mechanical engineering, Tsinghua University, to form the mechanical manufacturing department and the dynamic mechanical department. The newly established head of the Department of Mechanical Manufacturing is Mr. Li Youshan from Peking University. There are four majors in the department: mechanical manufacturing engineering, metal cutting machine tools and tools, casting machinery and casting engineering, metal pressure processing and processing machinery, and two specialties: metal processing tools and casting engineering. The director of power machinery department is Mr. Zhuang. There are two majors in the department: thermal power plant specialty (later renamed as thermal power generation equipment specialty) and automobile specialty (later renamed as automobile tractor specialty). In addition to professional teaching, the two departments also undertake some basic technical courses of the whole school, such as mechanical drawing, mechanical principle and design, metalworking practice, thermal energy engineering and so on.
1954 professor Wu Zhonghua, a famous scholar studying in the United States and Tsinghua alumnus, returned to China to work in the department of power machinery. 1956 established gas turbine specialty. In the same year, Professor Wang Buxuan was in charge of the newly-built industrial thermal energy engineering specialty. At the end of 1957, it was renamed as the major of engineering thermal physics, and 1960 was transferred to the Department of Engineering Mechanics.
1955 The experimental building of casting, forging, welding and metal heat treatment (i.e. welding hall) and the experimental base of casting and forging were built.
From 65438 to 0956, the specialty of mechanical manufacturing engineering and the specialty of metal cutting machine tools and tools were merged into the specialty of mechanical manufacturing technology and the specialty of metal cutting machine tools and tools. In the same year, the "Automobile Building", automobile laboratory and engine laboratory were built.
1958 the specialty of precision instrument manufacturing was added to the mechanical manufacturing department.
During the period of 1960, the Department of Mechanical Manufacturing was divided into the Department of Precision Instrument and Mechanical Manufacturing and the Department of Metallurgy, which were respectively responsible for the teaching of cold and hot machining, but the two departments still established the same party branch, with Mr. Zou as the head of the Department of Precision Instrument and Mr. Li Youshan as the head of the Department of Metallurgy, and some administrative work was managed in a unified way. 1960 10 based on the specialty of automobile and tractor in the department of prime mover machinery, the department of agricultural machinery was established, with Mr. Li Jixiang as the director, but co-located with the department of power machinery, with the general party branch and administrative leadership unchanged. Mr. Zhuang and Mr. Li take turns presiding over the weekly departmental affairs meeting. After Mr. Zhuang died in July 1962, Mr. Li also served as Minister of Power and Agricultural Machinery. 1963, the two departments were renamed the Department of Power and Agricultural Machinery.
1965, the department of precision instruments and machinery manufacturing (building 9003) was completed. The department of precision instruments and machinery manufacturing is completely separated from the department of metallurgy.
1970 the department of power agricultural machinery and the department of metallurgy were abolished at the beginning of the year. The specialty of automobile and tractor was changed to automobile specialty, and merged with the original specialty of metallurgy department, the specialty of precision instrument department and the school machinery factory to establish Tsinghua University Automobile Factory, which is "the integration of factory and learning". The popular major in the department of prime mover machinery was renamed as boiler major, and merged with the major of gas turbine into the department of electrical engineering at that time (renamed as the department of electrical engineering); The major of thermal measurement and automatic control is merged into the automatic control department; The teaching and research group of thermal energy engineering was transferred to the Department of Chemical Engineering.
197 1, the school automobile factory stopped producing cars and resumed the school machinery factory. The metallurgical specialty (casting, forging, welding and metal materials) planned to enter the factory was combined with the automobile specialty and machinery manufacturing specialty to form the machinery manufacturing department. In the same year, the Department of Precision Instruments and Machinery Manufacturing was renamed the Department of Precision Instruments.
1972 the major of precision instruments was changed to the major of gyro navigation and automatic control.
The automobile major in 1977, together with the thermal power equipment and gas turbine majors in the department of electric power engineering in 1970, returned to the compilation system of the power machinery department, and the machinery manufacturing major also returned to the precision instrument department. As a result, the Department of Mechanical Manufacturing only retained four majors in the original metallurgical department, namely, casting, forging, welding, metal and heat treatment, and its name was changed to department of mechanical engineering.
1978 the department of power machinery was renamed as the department of thermal energy engineering, and the major of thermoelectric was renamed as the major of thermal energy engineering, and the major of internal combustion engine was added.
