South China University of Technology has a long history of running a school, which can be traced back to the 1930s or even the late Qing Dynasty. The Institute of Technology of Sun Yat-sen University, as the foundation of its establishment, originated from the Institute of Technology of Sun Yat-sen University and was established in 193 1 and in August/934. In September, we moved with Sun Yat-sen University to Shipai, Guangzhou, which is now the campus of South China University of Technology. The School of Engineering of South China United University was formed by the merger of Guangdong University for Nationalities, established by 1930, and Guangzhou University, established by 1940. Lingnan University Institute of Technology can be traced back to 1930. Guangdong Institute of Technology (hereinafter referred to as "Institute of Technology") was formerly the first Class A industrial school in Guangdong Province (known as "A Gong" in history) established in 19 10. It can be traced back to Guangdong Arts and Crafts Bureau, an educational institution founded by the Qing government in 19 10.

Initial development

1952, South China University of Technology (formerly South China University of Technology) was formally established, based on the engineering departments of Sun Yat-sen University, South China United University Institute of Technology, Lingnan University and Guangdong Institute of Technology at that time, and related to the engineering departments of Hunan University, Guangxi University, Nanchang University, Wuhan Jiaotong University (later merged into Wuhan University), Zhonghua University in Wuchang (now Wuhan University) and Wuhan University. 1952, 1953 water conservancy disciplines, majors, teachers and students and equipment of south China university of technology were transferred to form Wuhan university of water conservancy and electric power (merged into Wuhan university in 2000).

During the period of 1953, the specialty of department of mechanical engineering thermal power plant installation, the specialty of power plant distribution network and system in electrical engineering department, the specialty of small and medium-sized hydropower station in hydraulic engineering department and the specialty of power station substation electrical machinery were transferred to Wuhan Huazhong University of Science and Technology (predecessor of Huazhong University of Science and Technology).

65438-0953 Railway major of South China University of Technology was transferred to Changsha to form Changsha Railway Institute (Central South University was merged in 2000).

65438-0954 inorganic engineering major of South China University of Technology was transferred to East China Institute of Chemical Technology (predecessor of East China University of Science and Technology).

65438-0954 Water Conservancy Department of South China University of Technology was transferred to Wuhan to form Wuhan Institute of Water Conservancy and Electric Power (merged into Wuhan University in 2000).

From 65438 to 0955, the teachers and equipment of surveying and mapping major in South China University of Technology were transferred to Wuhan to form Wuhan Surveying and Mapping Technology University (merged into Wuhan University in 2000).

1956, South China University of Technology, Nanjing Institute of Technology and Jiaotong University merged to establish Chengdu Institute of Telecommunications Engineering (the predecessor of University of Electronic Science and Technology of China) in Chengdu, Sichuan.

1958 The Department of Telecommunication Engineering (Radio Department) of South China University of Technology was jointly established by Professor Feng Bingquan, Professor Xu and some teachers and students. In the same year, South China University of Technology was divided into South China Institute of Technology and South China Institute of Chemical Technology.

1960 10, South China University of Technology became a national key university, and it was one of the 64 famous national key universities at that time.

1962, South China Institute of Technology and South China Chemical Industry merged into South China Institute of Technology.

Ten-year cultural revolution

During the Cultural Revolution, the school's teaching and scientific research were greatly affected, and it was split into South China Institute of Technology and Guangdong Institute of Chemical Technology.

1978 In February, South China University of Technology (then South China University of Technology and Guangdong Institute of Chemical Technology) was among the first batch of national key universities (commonly known as 88 national key universities) announced by the Ministry of Education. In the same year, South China University of Technology and Guangdong Institute of Chemical Technology merged to form South China University of Technology.

A new period of development

198 1 was approved by the State Council as one of the first batch of 56 doctoral and master's degree awarding units in China.

1993 established a provincial university for the first time in China, showing the school-running thought and management concept of South China University of Technology.

1995 passed the preliminary examination of the "2 1 1 project" department, and entered the ranks of national key universities facing 2 1 century in the first batch.

/kloc-0 passed the excellent evaluation of undergraduate teaching by the Ministry of Education at the end of 1999 and became the first batch of "excellent undergraduate teaching schools" in China; In the same year, with the approval of the Ministry of Science and Technology and the Ministry of Education, the National University Science Park was established;

200 1, a new round of provincial key construction was implemented, and the school entered the first batch of national high-level university construction ("985 Project").

In 2005, the Ministry of Education and the Guangdong Provincial Government decided to build South China University of Technology in the second phase of the "985 Project".

In 2007, he passed the undergraduate teaching level evaluation of the Ministry of Education with excellent results.

20 10 The Ministry of Education and Guangdong Province decided to continue to focus on building South China University of Technology and make every effort to promote the construction of world-class and high-level universities.

1988, South China University of Technology was renamed as South China University of Technology.

2065438+In September 2004, under the joint promotion of South China University of Technology and Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital (Guangdong Academy of Medical Sciences), the School of Medicine of South China University of Technology was formally established.
