The school originated from Hujiang University founded by 1906 and German Medical College founded by 1907. In the early 1950s, the former Hujiang University and the former National Shanghai Higher Vocational College of Machinery (in the former site of German Medical College) were transformed into Shanghai Institute of Machinery (1994 renamed east china institute of technology) and Shanghai Institute of Machinery respectively, and the two universities merged to form Shanghai University of Science and Technology on 1996. 1998 The school was transferred from the former Ministry of Machinery Industry to Shanghai for management.
As of 20 18, 1 1, the school has 15 colleges and 2 teaching departments; National Engineering Research Center 1 each, National Engineering Laboratory 1 each, National Quality Supervision and Inspection Center 1 each, National University Science Park 1 each, National Technology Transfer Demonstration Institution 1 each, and 26 provincial and ministerial scientific research platforms. There are more than 7000 full-time undergraduates/KLOC-0 and more than 7500 graduate students. There are now three subjects in the top 1% of ESI global rankings.
