Tianjin University of Science and Technology is an undergraduate college recognized by the state. It is an ordinary institution of higher learning funded by the central and local governments and mainly managed by Tianjin. It is a multidisciplinary university with Tianjin as the main body and coordinated development of engineering, science, literature, economics, management and law. It is the first batch of universities in the State Council that have the right to award master's degrees, the second batch of universities that have the right to award doctoral degrees, and the first batch of universities that have the conditions to accept foreign students. It is a contracted university that trains reserve officers for the army.

Historical evolution and development change

The school was founded in 1958 and named Hebei Institute of Light Industry, which is one of the first four light industry undergraduate colleges in China. From 65438 to 0959, the main teachers and experimental equipment of pulp and paper specialty in Tianjin University were transferred to our school and became the main force of this specialty. 1964 during the professional adjustment of subordinate colleges by the Ministry of light industry, the former fermentation engineering major of Beijing Institute of Light Industry and the former plastic molding and processing major of Wuxi Institute of Light Industry were transferred to our school successively. 1968, the school was renamed Tianjin Institute of Light Industry. 197 1 all the pulp and paper majors of Tianjin university were transferred to our school. 1972 The former salinization major of Beijing Institute of Light Industry merged with Tanggu Salt Industry College of China Ministry of Light Industry, which enjoys the reputation of "Huangpu Salt Industry", and transferred to our school. Several adjustments and mergers in the early days of the school have laid a solid foundation for our school to form traditional advantages such as pulp and paper engineering, fermentation engineering, food engineering, light chemical machinery, salt making and salt chemical industry. 1978 since the reform and opening up, the school has entered a period of rapid development and made remarkable achievements in discipline and specialty construction. Pulping and papermaking engineering has become the first batch of master's degree authorization points approved by 198 1 Ministry of Education, and the second batch of doctoral degree authorization points approved by 1983 Ministry of Education, which is the first doctoral degree authorization point among students in China. Eight traditional dominant disciplines, such as food science, fermentation engineering, mechanical design and theory, and chemical technology, have been awarded master's degrees one after another, and undergraduate majors have also developed greatly. From 65438 to 0998, the school management system was changed from the central and local * * * system to Tianjin-based management. The school entered the fast lane of accelerated development and made a breakthrough in the construction of disciplines and specialties. The comprehensive strength of the school has been significantly enhanced, and its competitiveness and influence have been significantly improved. In 2002, with the approval of the Ministry of Education, the school was renamed Tianjin University of Science and Technology. In order to adapt to the country's strategic measures to strengthen the development and opening up of Binhai New Area, better serve and integrate into Binhai New Area, and take advantage of the situation to promote the construction and development of the school, the school built TEDA campus in Binhai New Area in 2004 and put it into use. In 2006, the layout adjustment of the two campuses was completed, and the colleges closely related to the pillar industries of Binhai New Area moved into TEDA campus as a whole, forming a disciplinary layout with biology and chemical engineering as the main body in TEDA campus and electromechanical as the main body in Hexi campus. In addition, all first-year undergraduates study in TEDA campus, which makes full use of the resources of the two campuses and optimizes the overall layout of the school. The completion of the new campus and the adjustment of the layout have laid a solid foundation for the strategic development of our school.

Discipline and specialty system

Have a doctoral degree authorization point in the first-class discipline of "light industry technology and engineering"; There are 1 1 doctoral programs, two post-doctoral research stations of "light industry technology and engineering" and "food science and engineering" and Tianjin Food Processing Engineering Center 1 post-doctoral research station. There are 39 disciplines and majors authorized for master's degree, 39 fields authorized for master's degree in engineering 10, and 4 disciplines for in-service postgraduate training in colleges and universities. National key disciplines 1, 6 provincial and ministerial key disciplines; There are 9 provincial key laboratories, engineering centers and industrial technology centers, including Key Laboratory of Ministry of Education 1 and Engineering Research Center of Ministry of Education 1. There are 9 excellent teaching laboratories in Tianjin universities.

The school currently has 16 colleges (departments) such as Mechanical Engineering College, Electronic Information and Automation College, Material Science and Chemical Engineering College, Food Engineering and Biotechnology College, Biological Engineering College, Ocean Science and Engineering College, Packaging and Printing Engineering College, Art Design College, school of economics and management, Law and Politics College, Computer Science and Information Engineering College, Science College, Foreign Languages College, International College, Continuing Education College and Physical Education Department. At present, there are 46 undergraduate majors, involving 6 disciplines. Based on key disciplines such as bioengineering, food science and engineering, light chemical engineering, polymer materials and engineering, chemical engineering and technology, packaging engineering, mechanical design and manufacturing and automation, a number of undergraduate majors with advantages and characteristics have been formed. Among them, the specialty of food science and engineering was approved by the Ministry of Education as a characteristic specialty construction point. Full-time students 17330.
