Introduction

In 1940, Beijing Institute of Technology (BIT), the first science and engineering university was founded in Yan’an by the Communist Party of China. It has been one of the key universities in China since the founding of New China and the first batch of universities which has entered the national “211 Project”, “985 Project” and the “Top A World-class University”.

BIT now has 18 professional schools as well as Xu Teli School, Advanced Research Institute for Multidisciplinary Science, Institute of Advanced Structure Technology, Institute of Convergence Medical and Engineering, etc. Engineering, material science, chemistry, physics, mathematics, computer science and social sciences ranked in the top 1% of ESI international disciplines, among which engineering ranked in the top 1‰. In recent years, combined with traditional advantages and long-term development needs, BIT has focused on the construction of “5+3” subject groups—“Efficient Damage and Protection” subject group, “New Materials Science and Technology” subject group, “Complex System Perception and Control” subject group, “Delivery Equipment and Manufacturing” subject group, “Information Science and Technology” subject group and “Characteristic Science” subject group, “Convergence Medical and Engineering” subject group, “Civil-military Integration and Innovation and Development” subject group, forming the overall construction layout of “leading advantageous engineering, promoting the integration of characteristic science, assisting linkage of fine liberal arts and interacting frontier cross-innovation”. BIT now has more than 3,300 staff, including 22 academicians, 39 “Chang Jiang Scholars Program” professors, 38 winners of the National Science Fund for Distinguished Young Scholars, 33 leader talents of the Supporting Program of Global Experts, 4 state level teachers, 6 state level teaching groups, 4 innovative teams of the National Natural Science Foundation of China and 10 innovative teams of the Chang Jiang Scholars Program. BIT has 9 state level cooperative innovation centers, state level laboratories and 6 state level research centers.      BIT aims to develop students as leaders with ambition, wisdom, innovation and sense of duty. Of all the 300 thousands students graduated from BIT in the past 78 years, there are leaders of party and country such as Li Peng, Zeng Qinghong, Ye Xuanping, academicians such as Wang Xiaomo and Peng Shilv, leaders and constructors in every fields.

In the history of Chinee science and technology, the first television transmitting and receiving device, two-stage high altitude research rocket, light tank, low altitude height-finding radar and 20-kilometre remote camera were created by BIT. It has developed a clear edge in technologies relating to intelligent and bionic robotics, space adaptive optics, green energy, modern communications and industrial process control. BIT had participated in the research and development of the equipment appeared in 22 formations during the celebration for the 60th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China, in 8 units and 29 formations during the military parade for the 90th anniversary of the founding of the army. Numerous technologic achievements of BIT have been applied in the Beijing Olympic Games, the Shanghai Expo, the Guangzhou Asian Games and the mission of Shenzhou VIII and Tiangong I.
