The school started at 1907, German doctor erich? With the support of Chinese and German governments and all walks of life, Baolong founded Tongji German Medical College. 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 has undergone "two changes"-from a closed school to an open school, and the scope of disciplines has expanded from an engineering university with civil engineering as the main focus to a comprehensive university with science and engineering as the main focus. 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 strived 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 in the university stage. Since its establishment, the school has trained more than 360,000 graduates, bringing up a large number of outstanding politicians, scientists, educators, social activists, entrepreneurs, medical experts and engineering and technical experts. Among the alumni, 156 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 comprehensive test platform for urban rail transit, and the first domestic long-term scientific observation system on the seabed. 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.
The school has long paid attention to the spillover effect of dominant disciplines and basic research, constantly expanded the forms and fields of social services, actively contributed to the development of national and local social construction, and provided strong scientific and technological support for major strategic needs such as the construction of the "Belt and Road", domestic bridges and tunnels, railways and urban rail transit, water environment management, earthquake relief, Yangshan Deepwater Port, Shanghai World Expo and Chongming Ecological Island. 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 46 billion yuan in 20 19, which set a good example for the cooperation between the school and local government.
The school actively expands international cooperation. On the basis of cooperation with Germany, it has developed into a layout focusing on cooperation with Europe, expanding North America and radiating Asia and Africa. It has successively established 1 1 international cooperation platform colleges such as China-Germany, China-France, Italy, China-Finland, China-West and the United Nations, signed cooperation agreements with more than 200 overseas universities, and cooperated with many multinational enterprises such as Volkswagen, Siemens, Bayer and IBM. The China Green University Alliance and the International Green Campus Alliance were established one after another, serving as the first presidents, and were elected as the presidents of the United Nations Environment Programme Global Environment and Sustainable Development University Cooperation Alliance, which was the first university in the Asia-Pacific region to win the "Global Outstanding Award for Sustainable Campus".
At present, Tongji University has 29 professional colleges, 9 affiliated hospitals and 6 affiliated primary and secondary schools. There are four main campuses in siping road, Jiading, Huxi and Hubei, covering an area of 2.54 square kilometers, with a total construction area of 1.8 1.000 square meters. The library has a total collection of 4.43 million books.
Full-time undergraduate students1815, graduate students 1265438, doctoral students 5766. There are also 3575 international students. There are 2803 full-time teachers, including full-time professional and technical positions 1 156, academicians of China academy of sciences 12 (including double employment), academicians of China academy of engineering 15 (including double employment), and 20 academicians of foreign academies of science from developing countries, the United States, Germany, Sweden and other countries. There are 5 national famous teachers in teaching, 36 in distinguished professor, the Yangtze River Project of the Ministry of Education, 23 in chief scientist of the National Key Basic Research and Development Program, 64 in chief scientist of the National Key R&D Program, 62 winners of the National Science Fund for Distinguished Young Scholars, and outstanding young talents such as "Young Yangtze River" and "Winner of the Science Fund for Distinguished Young Scholars" 162. Six national teaching teams, eight innovation teams of the National Natural Science Foundation, nine innovation teams of the Ministry of Education and/kloc-0 innovation teams in key areas of the Ministry of Science and Technology were selected as the "National Demonstration Base for Innovative Talents Training" of the Ministry of Science and Technology.
The school's disciplines include engineering, science, medicine, management, economics, philosophy, literature, law, education, art and so on 10. At present, there are 86 undergraduate enrollment majors, 45 master's degree-level discipline authorization points, 26 professional master's degree authorization points, 33 doctoral degree-level discipline authorization points, 9 professional doctoral degree authorization points and 30 postdoctoral mobile stations. There are 3 State Key Laboratories, National Engineering Laboratories 1 each, National Major Science and Technology Infrastructure 1 each, National Collaborative Innovation Center 1 each, National Large-scale Scientific Instrument Center 1 each, 5 National Engineering (Technology) Research Centers, 5 other national research platforms and 69 provincial and ministerial research platforms.
With one heart and one mind, we can help others and help the world. Today, Tongji University is striving towards the goal of "walking with the motherland, benefiting the world through science and education, and building a world-class university with China characteristics"!
