Two. Introduction of Xi University of Technology
Xi University of Technology is a high-level university in Shaanxi Province, which is built by the central and local governments. It is also an institution that implements the national plan to revitalize higher education in the central and western regions-the basic capacity building project of colleges and universities in the central and western regions, and is a "national first-class university" in Shaanxi Province. The school is one of the important training bases and scientific research centers for senior professionals in water conservancy and hydropower, equipment manufacturing, printing and packaging industries in northwest China.
The school's predecessor was Beijing Institute of Machinery, which was founded in 1958 and Shaanxi University of Technology in 1960. The history of the two schools can be traced back to the Peiping Commercial Tutorial School founded by Fan Yuanlian, the education chief of the Republic of China, in 19 19 and the National Xi 'an Temporary University (civil engineering water conservancy group) established in 1937. 1972, Beijing Institute of Machinery and Shaanxi University of Technology merged to form Shaanxi Institute of Machinery, which was affiliated to the First Ministry of Machinery Industry. 1994, the school was renamed as Xi University of Technology with approval. 1998 The school was placed in Shaanxi Province, and the management system was adjusted to be jointly built by the central government and Shaanxi Province, with Shaanxi Province as the main management. In 2002, Shaanxi Province approved the merger of xi 'an Instrument Industry School into Xi 'an University of Technology. The school takes the predecessor school of Beijing Institute of Machinery, National Beiping Advanced Industrial Vocational School, as the starting year of the celebration, and takes 1 May as the celebration day.
The school has three campuses, Jinhua, Qujiang and Lianhu, 1 University Science Park. There are more than 8,000 full-time undergraduates/KLOC-0, and nearly 7,000 doctoral and master students.
