Later, with the relocation of the school site and the change of the organizational system, the name of the school changed many times. 192 1 In July, it merged with Shanghai Institute of Technology (predecessor of Shanghai Jiaotong University) and Beiping Railway Management School to form Jiaotong University. Later, the school was renamed as Tangshan College of Jiaotong University and Tangshan Institute of Technology of Jiaotong University. 1July, 937, War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression broke out and the school moved south to Hunan. In February 65438, classes resumed in Xiangtan, led by the Ministry of Education. 1938165438+10, Changsha was in critical condition, and the teachers and students of the whole school passed through Guilin and Liuzhou. 1939 65438+ In October, they came all the way to Pingyue (now Fuquan County) in Guizhou and resumed classes in March. 1942 1 month, the name of the school was changed by the Ministry of Education. 1944 entered Sichuan, and classes resumed in Dingjiaao, Bishan County, Sichuan Province. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the school moved back to the original site of Tangshan on 1946 and was renamed as the National Tangshan Institute of Technology.
From 65438 to 0948, the flood of the people's liberation war swept across the country, and Tangshan was liberated. In September of that year, the Military Commission and the Ministry of Railways decided to merge Tangshan Institute of Technology and Beijing Railway Management College to form China Jiaotong University. 1950 China jiaotong university was renamed as northern jiaotong university, and Tangshan was partly called Tangshan institute of technology of northern jiaotong university.
Because the development of Tangshan school site was affected, 1964, the state decided to move the school to Emei.
197 1 At the end of the year, the school officially moved to Emei and changed its name to Southwest Jiaotong University. 1972 In March, the school was officially renamed Southwest Jiaotong University. In September, the first batch of freshmen (workers, peasants and soldiers) who moved to Sichuan entered school. At this time, the school has five departments: machinery, railways, bridges and tunnels, electrical machinery, transportation and basic courses. The "Tianfu era" of a century-old prestigious school has turned a new page.
It is hard to imagine the hardships of running a school in this mountainous area with blocked news and inconvenient transportation. However, with its long-standing hard study style and rigorous and realistic tradition, the school has continuously made new and important achievements in running schools: it has the first academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences; The first batch of units with the right to confer doctoral and master's degrees; The first batch of national key disciplines have emerged, and the first batch can set up post-doctoral research mobile stations.
When the center of gravity of the school moved to Chengdu, with the strong support of the Ministry of Railways and Sichuan Province, and with the efforts of all teachers and students, the overall scale and strength of the school have developed greatly. The school has 16 departments, including bridge and subway, railway and road engineering, architectural engineering, electrical engineering, material engineering, engineering mechanics, traffic engineering, management engineering, social science and mechanical engineering, and graduate department and Adult Education College.
Emei's school-running period is a transitional stage of great significance in the history of school construction and development. From the aspects of teaching, scientific research, rational allocation of teachers, equipment and various resources, it has prepared conditions for the formal establishment of the school "Tianfu era" and the formation of the future "one school, two places and three campuses", laying a solid foundation for new, larger and faster development.
1984 In May, with the efforts of Sichuan Province and the Ministry of Railways and the approval of the State Council, Southwest Jiaotong University expanded its headquarters in Chengdu, the capital of Sichuan Province. On August 2nd, 1986, the foundation stone of Chengdu General School was laid. On March 30th, 1988, Chengdu General School officially opened to the public. 1 September 19891,the focus of the school was officially transferred to Chengdu, and the original Emei campus was changed to Southwest Jiaotong University Emei Branch. In 2003, it was renamed as Emei Campus of Southwest Jiaotong University, forming a school-running pattern of "one school, two places and three campuses".

In July, 2008, according to the program of discipline optimization and adjustment, the College of Pharmacy was moved from Emei Campus to Xipu Campus of Southwest Jiaotong University, and the original College of Pharmacy merged with the College of Bioengineering. The College of Pharmacy retained the original two undergraduate majors of Chinese Medicine and Pharmaceutical Engineering. From 20 13, Chinese medicine stopped enrolling students, and pharmaceutical engineering continued to be retained.
200 1 School established the Tourism College in Emei Campus of Southwest Jiaotong University, with two key undergraduate majors: forest resources protection and recreation (scenic spot planning and management) and tourism management.
