Southwestern Jiaotong University

The school was founded in 1896, formerly known as Shanhaiguan Beiyang Railway College (Imperial Chinese Railway College). It is China's first engineering institution of higher learning, China Civil Engineering, The birthplace of higher education in transportation engineering and mining and metallurgical engineering, and one of the two earliest sources of "Jiaotong University". It is well-known at home and abroad as "Tangshan Jiaotong University" and "Tangyuan", and is known as "Cornell of the East". The world's high-speed rail depends on China, and China's high-speed rail has Jiaotong University. ? Southwest Jiaotong University is a national key university with the best comprehensive strength, the strongest influence, the most complete disciplinary facilities, the most complete professional settings, and the most sufficient core resources in the field of rail transportation.

The total number of national science and technology awards received in the field of rail transit ranks first among universities, scientific research institutes and industry enterprises nationwide, making an indelible contribution to the development of China's rail transit industry. Numerous "firsts in China" and "firsts in the world" have been created here in the history of China's rail transit development.

Three major disciplines have entered the top 1% of ESI global rankings

Southwest Jiaotong University currently has 39 first-level disciplines, including 16 first-level doctoral programs. There are 2 first-level national key disciplines (Transportation Engineering, Mechanical Engineering). Among them, the transportation engineering discipline ranks first in the country and has entered the national "double first-class" construction sequence. In the most recent 2012 Ministry of Education discipline evaluation, civil engineering and electrical engineering, the main disciplines supporting the rail transit field, both ranked eighth in the country. (Those ranked before our school are all C9 universities or 985 universities). Surveying and mapping science and technology ranks sixth in the country, and mechanical engineering and business administration rank in the top 10% in the country. Moreover, materials science, engineering, and computer science have entered the top 1% of the ESI world rankings.

The discipline of Transportation Engineering ranks first in the country

In the "2016 Chinese University Discipline Evaluation Report" released by the Alibaba China Alumni Association website, 27 disciplines of Southwest Jiaotong University were selected as world-class disciplines , 50 disciplines were selected as world-class quasi-first-class disciplines, and ranked among the 2016 China eight-star disciplines. The transportation engineering discipline of Southwest Jiaotong University was selected as a world-class quasi-first-class discipline and ranked among the 2016 China eight-star disciplines, ranking first in the country.

And, on October 12 this year, Shanghai Ruanke released the "2017 Best Subjects in China" Among the rankings, Southwest Jiaotong University’s Transportation Engineering ranks first.

Has the only national laboratory in the field of rail transit in the country

The school has 11 national-level scientific and technological innovation platforms and 32 provincial and ministerial scientific research bases have built the most complete discipline system, talent system and scientific research system in the field of rail transit in the world. Among them, the National Laboratory of Rail Transit is the only national laboratory among universities in western my country and the only national laboratory in the field of rail transit in China. It is the highest-level national laboratory. This also strongly verifies that Southwest Jiaotong University is the leading national laboratory in China. A cutting-edge research and development unit in the field of rail transportation. Therefore, in terms of rail transportation and other related disciplines, Southwest Jiaotong University is definitely ranked first in the country.

Built a world-recognized basic research system for large-scale railway system dynamics

Southwestern Jiaotong University carries out innovations in high-speed rail, heavy-haul, new urban rail and high-speed and ultra-high-speed high-temperature superconducting maglev transportation. Research, strengthen principle, basic research and research on cutting-edge technologies, key technologies, and forward-looking technologies. During the 12th Five-Year Plan period, he presided over the 973 Project and the National Natural Science Foundation High-speed Railway Joint Fund Project in the field of high-speed railways. Ranking first in the country, it has built a basic research system on large-scale railway system dynamics marked by the world-recognized "Shen's Theory" and "Zhai-Sun Model".
