Nanjing Institute of Technology

Located in ancient city of Nanjing, where nature bestows beautiful landscapes and human life aggregates, Nanjing Institute of Technology (NJIT) is an ordinary university administered directly by Jiangsu Province. Here, engineering is the mainstay, multiple disciplines develop in a coordinated way, and applicable talents are cultivated. NJIT is a deputy director unit of China’s Research Center for Teaching and Learning in Universities and Colleges, chairman unit of China’s Special Committee of National Application-type Universities, a standing director unit of China Industry-University-Research Institute Collaboration Association. It is one of the first master’s degree pilots for nurturing talents to meet special national demands;and also one of the first pilot universities under “Program for Educating and Training Excellent Engineers” and “CDIO Educational Mode Reform Research and Practice”. In June 2000, NJIT was established by the merger of two national higher engineering colleges: Nanjing Mechanics College and Nanjing Electric Power College. In April 2001, Nanjing Industrial School, which had been administered by the Ministry of Nuclear Industry, was incorporated into it as well. The nearly a century of NJIT history can be traced back to the Department of Mechanics attached to Shanghai Tongji School of Medicine and Industry in 1915 (the predecessor of Tongji University) and to Suzhou Senior School of Industry of Jiangsu Province, established in 1946.
