Two. Brief introduction of Tongji University
Tongji University has a long history and an outstanding reputation. It is one of the earliest national universities in China and a national key university directly under the Ministry of Education and jointly established with Shanghai. Tongji University, after more than 1 10 years of development, has become a comprehensive, research-oriented and international university with distinctive characteristics and great influence at home and abroad, and its comprehensive strength ranks among the top universities in China.
Tongji University's predecessor was German doctor erich from 65438 to 0907. The German Medical Museum founded by Baolong in Shanghai was renamed Tongji German Medical Museum the following year. 19 12, together with the newly established Tongji German Medical College, is called Tongji German Medical College. 19 17 was taken over by China people and renamed as Tongji Medical College, a private Tongji Medical College. 1923 was named Tongji University, and 1927 became a national university. 1937 After the full-scale outbreak of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, Tongji University moved to Shanghai, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Guangxi and Yunnan for six times, and 1940 moved to Lizhuang Ancient Town, Yibin, Sichuan. 1946 after moving back to Shanghai, it developed into a comprehensive university famous for its five colleges of science, engineering, medicine, literature and law.
In the national adjustment of departments and colleges since 1949, Tongji University's original advantageous disciplines such as literature, law, medicine, science, mechanics, electricity, shipping, surveying and mapping either supported other universities or moved to the mainland as a whole. At the same time, Tongji has gathered more than 10 universities in China, and it is the largest and most comprehensive engineering university in the field of civil construction in China. After 1978, the school implemented "two transformations"-the transformation from a closed school to an open school to resume exchanges with Germany, and the transformation from an engineering university focusing on civil engineering to a multidisciplinary university focusing on science and engineering. 1996, Shanghai Institute of Urban Construction and Shanghai Institute of Building Materials Industry were merged and listed as national "2 1 1 project" construction universities. In 2000, it merged with Shanghai Railway University and established the new Tongji University. In 2002, it was listed as a national "985 Project" to build colleges and universities. In 2003, Shanghai Institute of Aeronautical Technology was placed under the management of Tongji University. It was listed as a middle school in 2004. In 20 17, it was listed as a national world-class university.
Tongji University has always regarded the cultivation of top-notch innovative talents as its lofty mission and responsibility. Based on undergraduate education and postgraduate education, it has established a talent cultivation mode of "knowledge, ability and personality", and strives to make every student have the comprehensive qualities of "general knowledge base, professional quality, innovative thinking, practical ability, global vision and social responsibility" after learning and edifying at the university level. Since its establishment, the school has trained more than 300,000 graduates, bringing up a large number of outstanding politicians, scientists, educators, social activists, entrepreneurs, medical experts and engineering and technical experts. 140 More than 40 alumni were elected as academicians of China Academy of Sciences and China Academy of Engineering.
Tongji University has built a number of major scientific research platforms, such as the world's largest multifunctional vibration experimental center, the first domestic ground vehicle wind tunnel center, the first domestic urban rail transit comprehensive experimental platform, and the first domestic seabed observation and research experimental base. It has undertaken a series of major national special projects and major engineering research projects, and achieved landmark scientific research achievements such as key technologies of long-span bridges, structural earthquake-resistant and disaster-prevention technologies, urban traffic intelligent guidance, urban sewage treatment, research and development of new energy vehicles, intelligent greenhouse for home use, remote sensing spatial information, ocean drilling, and molecular genetics of atrial fibrillation.
Adhering to the fine tradition of "walking with the motherland and saving the country through science and education", the school has long paid attention to the spillover effect of superior disciplines and basic research, constantly expanded the forms and fields of social services, actively contributed to the construction and development of national and local societies, and provided strong strategic needs for the "Belt and Road" construction, domestic bridges and tunnels, railways and urban rail transit, water environment management, earthquake relief, Yangshan Deepwater Port, Shanghai World Expo, Chongming Ecological Island, etc. The school and local government jointly promoted the construction of "knowledge economic circle around Tongji", and the output value increased from less than 3 billion yuan in 2005 to 36.8 billion yuan in 20 17, which set a good example for the cooperation between the school and local government.
