School profile:
Taiyuan University of Science and Technology (Taiyuan? University? Yes? Science? And then what? Technology), located in Taiyuan City, Shanxi Province, is a full-time ordinary college organized by the Shanxi Provincial People's Government.
It has been selected into the basic capacity building project of universities in the central and western regions of China, the National "Hundred Schools Project" of the Ministry of Education, the member units of CDIO Engineering Education Alliance, and the universities of the Yellow River Basin Transportation Science and Technology Innovation Alliance. It is an excellent university evaluated by the Ministry of Education for undergraduate teaching level, and the first batch of universities implemented new engineering research and practice projects by the Ministry of Education.
The school's predecessor was Shanxi Machinery Manufacturing Industry School, which was founded in 1952. 1953, renamed Taiyuan Machine Building School of the First Ministry of Machinery Industry; 1960, renamed Taiyuan institute of heavy machinery; In 2004, it was renamed Taiyuan University of Science and Technology.
By June 5438+ 10, 2023, the school had four campuses, namely, main campus, south campus, Jincheng campus and nanshe campus, with a total area of 773,000 square meters. 19 secondary colleges offer 66 undergraduate majors;
There are 2 post-doctoral research mobile stations, 3 first-class discipline doctoral degree authorization points, 1 first-class discipline master degree authorization points 18, and master degree authorization categories 10; Full-time teachers 1422, and more than 28,000 full-time students.
The development history of Taiyuan University of Science and Technology witnessed the glorious history of the new China heavy machinery industry from scratch, from its rise to its gradual strength. Several generations of HKUST people have also made positive contributions to the development of China's national industry.
The first principals of the school are "China Ford", "Founder of China Automobile Industry", "The First Internal Combustion Engine in China" and "Modern Mechanical Engineer". Mr. Zhi, together with Hou, Ling Hongxun, Mao Yisheng and Sun, won the "China Engineer Gold Cup Award".
The energy-based Z-fracture criterion established by Professor Zhang Shaoqin, former president of the school and now vice governor of Shaanxi Province, can successfully predict the crack propagation direction angle and crack propagation conditions of composite plates with cracks, which has been recognized by the international fracture mechanics community. Namely: the world-recognized "Z theory". After more than half a century's efforts.
At present, Taiyuan University of Science and Technology has developed from a single mechanical college into a multidisciplinary comprehensive university with considerable strength in the national mechanical industry.
