Shanghai Jiao Tong University, founded as Nanyang College in 1896, is a key university under the "985 Project" and "211 Project", and is a comprehensive research university covering science/engineering/medicine/economics/management/literature/law and other disciplines
Shanghai Jiao Tong University is one of the oldest and well-known institutions of higher learning in China, and is a national key university directly under the Ministry of Education and jointly established by Shanghai. After 121 years of unremitting efforts, Shanghai Jiao Tong University has become a "comprehensive, research-oriented, and international" domestic first-class and internationally renowned university.
At the end of the 19th century, the First Sino-Japanese War was defeated and the nation was in danger. Sheng Xuanhuai, a famous industrialist and educator in modern China, and a group of people of insight adhered to the belief that "self-improvement is the first thing to store talents, and talents must be cultivated first", and founded Nanyang College, the predecessor of Jiaotong University, in Shanghai in 1896. At the beginning of its establishment, the school adhered to the tenet of "seeking truth and learning, pragmatic industry", taking the cultivation of "first-class talents" as the educational goal, diligent and enterprising, tireless, and became a well-known institution of higher learning in China in the twenties and thirties of the twentieth century, known as the "Oriental MIT". During the Anti-Japanese War, the majority of teachers and students went through hardships, moved to the concession, moved to Chongqing, and insisted on running schools. On the eve of liberation, the majority of teachers and students actively participated in the democratic revolution, and the school was known as the "fortress of democracy".
In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, in order to meet the needs of the country's economic construction, the university adjusted a considerable number of advantageous majors and faculty equipment to support the development of domestic brother colleges. In the mid-fifties, in response to the call of the country to build a great northwest, the university moved part of it to Xi'an according to the decision of the State Council, and divided it into the Shanghai part and the Xi'an part of Jiaotong University. In March 1959, the two parts were listed as national key universities at the same time, and in July, they were approved by the State Council to be independently established, and the Shanghai part of Jiaotong University was named "Shanghai Jiao Tong University". After the changes of moving westward, running schools in two places, and running schools independently, it has made important contributions to the construction of the higher education system of New China and the promotion of socialist construction. In the sixties and seventies, the school successively belonged to the leadership of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense and the Sixth Machinery Department, and actively engaged in the cultivation of national defense talents and national defense scientific research, and made great contributions to the "two bombs and one satellite" and national defense modernization. Since the reform and opening up, the university has boldly promoted the reform with the spirit of "daring to be the first in the world": it was the first to form a professor delegation to visit the United States, the first to implement the reform of the school's management system, and the first to accept huge donations from overseas friends, which has effectively promoted the reform of the school's teaching and scientific research. In 1984, Comrade Deng Xiaoping cordially met with the leaders of the school and the representatives of teachers and students, and fully affirmed the various reforms of the school. With the strong support of the state and Shanghai, with the goal of "raising the level and creating first-class", the university has successively restored and built science, management, life, law and humanities with discipline construction as the leader. In 1999, Shanghai Agricultural University was merged; In 2005, it merged with Shanghai Second Medical University. So far, the school has completed the discipline layout of a comprehensive university. In recent years, through the construction of the national "985 Project" and "211 Project", the university has gradually gathered high-level talents, rapidly improved its scientific research strength, and realized the transformation into a research university. At the same time, the university has made important breakthroughs in the implementation of its internationalization strategy through cooperation with world-class universities such as the University of Michigan in the United States. The construction of Minhang Campus began in 1985, and after more than 30 years, it has been basically built into a modern university campus with complete facilities and beautiful environment, and has completed the transfer of the focus of education to Minhang Campus. The school has campuses in Xuhui, Minhang, Huangpu, Changning, Qibao and Pudong, with a total area of more than 300,000 square meters. Through a series of reforms and constructions, the university's various school-running indicators have risen substantially, achieved leapfrog development, and significantly enhanced its overall strength, laying a solid foundation for building a world-class university. Jiaotong University has always regarded talent training as the fundamental task of running a school. Over the past 100 years, the university has cultivated nearly 300,000 outstanding talents of all kinds for the country and society, including a group of outstanding politicians, scientists, social activists, industrialists, engineering and technical experts and medical experts, such as Jiang Zemin, Lu Dingyi, Ding Guangen, Wang Daohan, Qian Xuesen, Wu Wenjun, Xu Guangxian, Zhang Guangdou, Huang Yanpei, Shao Lizi, Li Shutong, Cai Yi, Zou Taofen, Yan Junqi, Chen Minzhang, Wang Zhenyi, Chen Zhu, etc. Among the academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Engineering, there are more than 200 alumni of Jiaotong University; Among the 23 national "two bombs and one star" heroes, there are 6 alumni of Jiaotong University; Among the 18 winners of the highest national science and technology award, 3 are from Jiaotong University. Jiaotong University has created many "firsts" in the history of China's modern and modern development: China's earliest internal combustion engine, the earliest electric motor, the earliest Chinese typewriter, etc.; New China's first 10,000-ton ship, the first nuclear submarine, the first hovercraft, the first hydrofoil, the self-designed first-generation fighter jet, the first carrier rocket, the first artificial satellite, the first case of cardiac mitral valve separation, the first successful transplantation of homogeneous orthotopic liver surgery, the first successful rescue operation of a large-scale burn patient, the first university translation and publishing institution, the largest number of local literature, the first academician of the European Academy of Sciences in humanities and social sciences in China, etc., all embody the painstaking wisdom of Jiaotong faculty, students and alumni.
