Southwest Jiaotong University is not a 985, but a 2 1 1 university. It is the first batch of "21/engineering" and "985 engineering advantage discipline innovation platform" in China. Southwest Jiaotong University is a university directly under the Ministry of Education, and one of the first construction engineering universities in China, including Ministry of Education, Railway Corporation, Sichuan Province, Chengdu * * *, National 2 1 1 Project, 985 Platform, and 201Plan. It is a very good comprehensive university in China.

The school started from 1896 Shanhaiguan Beiyang Railway Official School. Since then, it has been moved and renamed many times. Tangshan Jiaotong University enjoys a good reputation at home and abroad, and is known as the "Cornell of the East", especially in civil engineering, mining and metallurgy. From 65438 to 0952, the department was renamed Tangshan Railway Institute after adjustment, specializing in the training of rail transit talents. 1964 The school moved to Emei, and 1972 was named Southwest Jiaotong University. In 2000, it was placed under the management of the Ministry of Education of People's Republic of China (PRC).

"2 1 1 Project" is a key construction work in the field of higher education initiated by the state since the founding of New China. This is an important measure taken by the China government to implement the strategy of "rejuvenating the country through science and education", and it is also an important decision made by the Chinese nation to develop higher education in the face of the domestic and international situation at the turn of the century.

1, transportation major

Transportation majors train senior technical personnel with knowledge of operational research, management and transportation organization, who can engage in transportation organization, command, decision-making, production and management in national, provincial and municipal transportation management departments and transportation enterprises and institutions.

2. Civil engineering major

This major trains senior engineering and technical personnel who master the basic theories and knowledge of various disciplines of civil engineering, and can be engaged in the planning, design, construction, management and research of housing construction, underground construction (including mine construction), roads, tunnels, bridge construction, hydropower stations, ports and offshore structures and facilities, water supply and drainage and foundation treatment.

3. Electrical major

Electrical specialty (including electrical engineering and automation) is about electricity (it is necessary to explain electricity: electricity is not an electrical appliance, it includes all electrical equipment. This concept is quite extensive, as long as it is electricity, as long as it is electronic control, it is the specialty of electronic control; The professional goal is how to make the machine run automatically, which is often called "intelligence". The machine can adjust its work according to environmental changes.
