The Historical Evolution of Southeast University
Southeast University originated from Sanjiang Normal School and was founded in 1902. The school consists of physics and chemistry department (later called physics and chemistry mathematics department), agronomy department (later called natural history agronomy department), historical geography department and manual drawing department.

1906 In May, Governor Zhou named "Sanjiang" as "Liangjiang" and "Liangjiang Excellent Normal School" according to the school regulations. 19 12, liangjiang excellent normal school officially closed. 19 14 In August, Governor Han of Jiangsu appointed Jiang Qian, the former director of Jiangsu Provincial Education Department, as the president of Nanjing Higher Normal School, and established the school in the original site of Liangjiang Normal School. 19 16 in autumn, in view of China's backward productivity level and poverty, it is urgent to develop industry; Because of the outbreak of World War I, imperialism has no time to look east, which brings opportunities to the development of China's national industry. Because of the urgent demand for industrial talents, Nangao has set up industrial specialized courses. Engineering education was extensive at first, and then gradually focused on mechanical manufacturing and technology.

1920 In April, Guo Bingwen put forward the proposal of establishing a national university on the basis of Nanjing Normal University, which was unanimously agreed by the members attending the meeting. 1921July 13, the Ministry of Education approved the organizational outline of Southeast University. National Southeast University has six disciplines, including engineering. At the beginning, only department of mechanical engineering was an engineering student. 1923 in March, seven professors, including Mao Yisheng, the then engineering director, and Li Shiqiong jointly proposed to the school board and the professors' meeting the proposal of adding the civil engineering department and the electrical engineering department, and the proposal was reviewed by the school board and professors' meeting. 1In the autumn of 924, engineering was separated from Southeast University and merged with Hehai Engineering College to form the National Hehai Engineering University.

1In July, 927, the Education Administration Committee explicitly merged nine public schools in Jiangsu, including the former National Southeast University, Hohai University of Engineering, Jiangsu University of Political Science and Law, Jiangsu Medical University, Shanghai Business School, Nanjing Institute of Technology, Suzhou Institute of Technology, Shanghai Business School and Nanjing Agricultural School, to form the National Fourth Sun Yat-sen University. There are 9 colleges in National Fourth Sun Yat-sen University, some of which are located in the former site of Nanjing Institute of Technology in Fuchengqiao, Nanjing, while others and most other colleges are located in the former site of Nanjing Sipailou National Southeast University. At this time, the Institute of Technology has seven branches, including mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, civil engineering, architecture, mining and metallurgy engineering, chemical engineering and dyeing and weaving.

On February 29th, 1928, the Fourth Sun Yat-sen University was renamed Jiangsu University. The renaming of Jiangsu University has caused a wave of school names. On April 24th, the University Committee changed the name of "Jiangsu University" to "National Central University" by University Order 337. In the early days of the founding of National Central University, the Institute of Technology, like the Fourth National Sun Yat-sen University, still had seven subjects, and later closed the subjects of mining and metallurgy engineering and dyeing and weaving. In September, 1933, the Institute of Technology reopened the Chemical Engineering Group and later changed it to the Department; In June 1934, 165438+ 10, a special seminar on machinery was organized, and in August 1938 developed into the department of aviation engineering, which created a precedent for aviation engineering education in China. 1937 newly added water conservancy engineering department.

During his stay in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, the Engineering College of National Central University, where he took refuge in Sichuan, set up seven departments, including civil engineering department, mechanical department, electrical engineering department, architectural department, chemical engineering department, aviation department and water conservancy department. 1in April, 943, the executive yuan of Wang puppet government resumed the Central University and established the Central University in Nanjing. At the beginning of the school, there were two polytechnics, but they soon merged into polytechnics, including civil engineering, chemical engineering, mathematical physics and department of mechanical engineering. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Central University prepared to demobilize Nanjing. 1946165438+10, National Central University resumed classes in Nanjing Sipailou. There are seven departments in the Institute of Technology. 1949 1, the failure of Nanjing National Government is a foregone conclusion, and President Zhou Hongyi of CUHK was ordered to move the capital. However, the faculty of CUHK generally lost confidence in the Kuomintang, and most professors decided to stay in Nanjing. After Zhou Hongjing quit his job and left school, CUHK, under the auspices of the underground organization of the * * * production party, successively formed an emergency committee and a temporary school affairs committee to safeguard school affairs and protect school property, and prepared to welcome the China People's Liberation Army into the city. On April 1949 and 1 day, a student demonstration against the Kuomintang government broke out in Nanjing, which was suppressed by the military and police, and two students of CUHK were killed. On April 23, when the People's Liberation Army entered Nanjing, the Military Management Committee sent over and announced that Liang was in charge of school affairs. On August 8th, CUHK was informed by the East China Ministry of Education to change its name to National Nanjing University (1950 10 10), with Pan Wei as the president. 65438-0950, the Department of Civil Engineering Art of Anhui University was merged into Nanjing University.

During this period, the teaching scale of all colleges in the school was maintained, and only the Institute of Technology was still developing. 1949, the institute of technology was headed by Qian, and there were still 47 full and associate professors in 7 departments. 1949 has 2,363 students, including 634 engineering students, and195/kloc-0 has 2,545 undergraduates, including 976 engineering students, accounting for 38% of the whole school. It was the largest college in the school at that time. From 65438 to 0952, a major adjustment of colleges and universities with the main purpose of "cultivating talents and teachers for industrial construction" began. In Nanjing, based on the original six departments of department of mechanical engineering, Civil Engineering Department, Chemical Engineering Department, Architectural Engineering Department, Electrical Engineering Department and Food Industry Department of Agricultural College, they were merged into the chemical engineering department and electrical engineering department of Jinling University and the department of mechanical engineering, electrical engineering department and food industry department of Jiangnan University, and a multi-disciplinary industrial university was established, named Nanjing Institute of Technology. From 1952 to 1953, some majors of Wuhan University, Zhejiang University, Fudan University, Xiamen University, Jiaotong University and Shandong University of Technology merged one after another.

By the end of 1952, Nanjing Institute of Technology had seven departments, including architecture department, department of mechanical engineering department, electric power engineering department, telecommunication engineering department, civil engineering department, chemical engineering department and food industry department, as well as teaching and research groups of basic courses, offering undergraduate courses 10, majors 10, 265 teachers and students/kloc-0. Considering the needs of the national industrial construction and the development of the Institute of Technology, the joint meeting of Nanjing University and Jinling University decided to use the former headquarters of the Siping Building of Nanjing University as the site of Nanjing Institute of Technology. After the adjustment of departments, Nanjing Institute of Technology began to recruit graduate students. From the late 1950s to the early 1960s, * * * enrolled 1 17 graduate students. After the merger of Nanjing University and Jinling University, the situation of Nanjing universities, the number of schools, departments and families

Under the historical background of the people of China and the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the teachers and students of the whole school worked hard and the school developed rapidly. At that time, universities all over the country were carrying out the teaching reform of studying the Soviet Union in an all-round way. While studying the Soviet Union in depth, Nanjing Institute of Technology insisted on combining China's actual innovation. The teaching plan and scheme put forward by the Department of Architecture and the Department of Radio were well received by brother universities. In the teaching reform, Nanjing Institute of Technology has built more laboratories, adjusted the structure of departments and added a number of new majors. Department of mechanical engineering founded the earliest specialty of agricultural machinery, electronic precision machinery and electronic equipment structure in China, and edited the first mechanical textbook "Mechanical Principles" in China.

From 1956 to 1960, Nanjing Institute of Technology has been divided into several departments and established or participated in the construction of four institutions of higher learning. 1955, the Central Ministry of Higher Education decided to move the Department of Radio Engineering to Chengdu, and jointly established Chengdu Institute of Telecommunication Engineering (now University of Electronic Science and Technology of China) with Jiaotong University and relevant departments of South China University of Technology. With the efforts of Dean Zhang Chen, Wang Chuang Haisu and jiangsu provincial party committee, Premier Zhou Enlai decided to transfer 19 backbone teachers from the broadcasting department in 1956, and the rest stopped flowing. 1958 the department of chemical engineering established Nanjing institute of chemical technology (now the main body of Nanjing university of technology). In the same year, the Department of Food Industry moved to Wuxi and established Wuxi Institute of Light Industry (now the main body of Jiangnan University). 1960, Nanjing agricultural machinery college was established on the basis of the second department of machinery, and moved to Zhenjiang the following year and renamed Zhenjiang agricultural machinery college (now the main body of Jiangsu University). 65438-0978, Nanjing Institute of Technology resumed enrolling graduate students. 198 1 after the implementation of the degree regulations, the first batch of bachelor's, master's and doctoral degrees were granted. In April, 1986, the State Council approved the pilot project of graduate school. 1In June, 988, Nanjing Institute of Technology was renamed Southeast University, and began to transform from an engineering university to a comprehensive university focusing on science and engineering. In June+February of the same year, the foundation stone was laid in Pukou Campus of Dongda University, and/kloc-0 was put into use in September 1990.

199 1, Dongda University, as a reform pilot of the State Education Commission, took the lead in reforming the management system in universities across the country. 1993, Dongda took the lead in reforming the enrollment and scholarship system in colleges and universities across the country. 1March, 1996, with the approval of the state education commission, the graduate school was formally established; In February, 65438, Southeast University was selected as the first batch of key construction universities with 2 1 1 project. In April 2000, the former Southeast University, Nanjing Railway Medical College and Nanjing Jiaotong University merged, and Nanjing Geological School merged to form a new Southeast University. In February of 20001year, Southeast University was listed as the key construction university of the 985 Project. In 2006, Jiulonghu Campus, covering an area of 3,700 mu, was put into use, with Pukou Campus as the site of Chengxian College of Southeast University.
