More than 300 research projects in various categories have been
successfully undertaken and completed. More than 40 awards have been won, more
than 500 technical papers and 17 books have been published. Great successes have
been achieved in applying their research results to industry and great economic
profits were gained. Tianjin University, known as Peiyang University in its early days, was
founded on October 2, 1895. It was the first institution of higher learning in
the history of modern Chinese education. Peiyang University changed its name to
Tianjin University in 1951 after the Hebei Institute of Technology merged into
it. For more than
100 years, the university has trained more than 80 thousand senior qualified
personnels for the country. Most of them have become pillars of strength or
backbones in various circles and made great contributions to the establishment
and development in a variety of areas and to the cause of socialist
construction. The university is well staffed and nestled on a greened and
afforested beautiful campus with an area of 137 hectares and 780 thousand square
meters of floor buildings. The two university libraries have 26 thousand square
meters of floor buildings and a collection of 1.74 million volumes of books. The university has a strong contingent of researchers with actual strength. Professional researchers are more than 800, and concurrent researchers are more than 2,000. There are over 100 laboratories, 48 research institutes, 15 experiment and engineering development centers, of which 5 are national key laboratories, 1 national engineering research center, 2 national new technology popularization centers, and 7 research and development centers of national new technology and open laboratories at ministry and commission level. Since our nation carried out the Open and Reform Policy, more than 1500 projects is appraised by our university, in which more than 70 have won the National Natural Science Award, the National Invention Award and the Award of National Science and Technology Progress. Of these research projects, 235 have applied patents, of which 165 have been patented. The annual funds for scientific and technological activities at this university is more than 100 million after 1994, and the amount of financial aid that the university receives from the National Natural Science foundation every year is always among the first three of the similar universities. A well-staffed and well-equipped research system for development in depth has successfully formed in the university, which includes basic, applied and development researches. Chemical Engineering school of Tianjin University. The school is one of the most famous higher educational bases of
chemical engineering talent in China. There are 54 professors, 91 associate
professors and 80 lectors in the School. Professor Yu Guo-Cong and Wang Jing-Kang
is academician of Chinese Academy of Sciences or Engineering. 33 professors are
authorized to supervise Ph.D. students and 48 associate professors and all the
professors are authorized to supervise Master students.
