1958, under the background of independent research and development of atomic bombs and nuclear reactors, department of engineering physics was established almost at the same time by Shanghai Jiaotong University and some famous universities in China, with specialties such as atomic engineering, radiochemical engineering, electric physics and nuclear materials, and more than a dozen outstanding students were selected from all the students as the first batch of students.

196 1 year reactor engineering and nuclear power plant two professional restructuring.

1962 canceled the incorporation into the mechanical engineering powertrain.

After 1968, basically only nuclear reactor engineering majors will be recruited.

1982 this discipline has the right to grant master's degrees.

From 65438 to 0997, the Department of Mechanical Engineering Power was upgraded to a junior college, and this major was upgraded to a department. On the basis of the original teaching and research section, the Department of Nuclear Power Engineering and Automation was established.

1998 Establish doctoral program with Shanghai Nuclear Engineering Research and Design Institute.

In 2000, we established a postdoctoral mobile station with Shanghai Nuclear Engineering Research and Design Institute. In the same year, a master's degree in engineering was established.

In 2002, in order to further broaden the scope of the discipline and develop it into a first-class discipline of nuclear science and technology, it was decided to change its name to the Department of Nuclear Science and Systems Engineering.

In 2006, it was changed to College of Nuclear Science and Engineering.

During this period, the college has created a glorious history, and many places have left the footprints of people from the Nuclear College of Jiaotong University. They have made great contributions to the country and won unanimous praise from people inside and outside the industry.
