Xi’an Jiaotong UniversityXJTU

 

Xi’an Jiaotong University is one the most prestigious universities in China and is also a member of C9 University League. XJTU was among the first group of universities selected as China’s “211 Project” and “985 Project” (projects aiming to create global first-class universities). Recently, XJTU has been selected as “the Double First Class University Plan of China” by Ministry of Education of the People’s Republic of China.

 

       Relying on the development of Science & Technology Innovation Harbor in Western China, XJTU will take the initiative to explore a new model for integrative development of modern university and society in the 21st century; to establish a new pattern of modern university based on the coordinated development of university campus, science park, and local community; and to construct a new world-class talent development system, so as to make Xi’an an intellectual center in western China.

 

 

 

School of Aerospace Engineering of XJTU

 

School of Aerospace Engineering, established on 10 April 2005, is an integration of two departments, one state key laboratory and one national-level education center: Department of Engineering Mechanics, Department of Aeronautics & Astronautics Engineering, the State Key Laboratory for Strength and Vibration of Mechanical Structures and the National Mechanics Experimental Teaching Demonstration Center.

 

The school has gained a national and international reputation for its innovative educational programming. The school offers undergraduate programs in Engineering Mechanics and Flight Vehicle Design and Engineering. It also offers master's and PhD programs in Mechanics and Aerospace Science and Technology (both are first-level disciplines), as well as postdoctoral programs in Mechanics and Aerospace Science and Technology, of which Solid Mechanics is among the first batch of doctoral programs as well as the national key disciplines acknowledged by China.

 

With the International Center for Applied Mechanics, established in 2012, and an increasing international student and staff population, the School has developed into a truly cosmopolitan environment for high education, emphasizing both fundamentals and applications. The school has extensive research collaborations and student exchange programs with top international universities and institutes from USA, Russia, UK, Japan, France, Canada, Singapore, Korea etc.

 

At present, the school has approximately 152 faculty and staff members. Most of faculty members obtained their PhD degrees from top universities and institutions, such as: Harvard University, Oxford University, Cambridge University, University of Tokyo, Columbia University, National University of Singapore, Tsinghua University, Xi’an Jiaotong University etc.

 

As one of the first earliest department of Engineering Mechanics (1957) in China, the school has a reputation for innovative educational programs, cutting-edge research, leading faculty, and aspiring students. It has earned a strong reputation as a center for academic excellence. Many Alumni of the School have gained an international reputation in the field of solid mechanics and applied mechanics and become international recognized academician and scholars, for example: Prof. Huajian GAO, the NAS (National Academy of Sciences of US) member, the NAE (National Academy Engineering of US) member, Foreign Academician of CAS (Chinese Academy of Sciences), and Academician of GA (German Academy Sciences); Prof. Zhigang SUO, the NAS (National Academy of Sciences of US) member and the NAE (National Academy Engineering of US) member.

 

With the mission of serving the nation and society with high level education and scientific research, the school strives to prepare students to deal with major aerospace engineering challenges of the future in a sustainable manner by providing high quality, innovative educational programs and offering interdisciplinary /multidisciplinary research opportunities. Innovative programs, cutting edge research, leading faculty and aspiring students, all these elements have been brought together in a dynamic and supportive environment by the School at Xi’an Jiaotong University to open up a world of possibilities.

 

Recently, the mechanics discipline of XJTU has been rated as the A discipline in Double First Class University Plan of China. The Mechanics discipline of XJTU ranked No. 1 in 2017 among the Mechanics disciplines of all universities in China by Academic Ranking of World Universities (ARWU).
