The Dalian University of Technology (DLUT; Chinese: 大连理工大学) is a national public university located in Dalian, Liaoning, China. The university is affiliated with the Ministry of Education of China and co-sponsored by the Ministry of Education and SASTIND. Founded in 1949, the university is part of the Double First Class University Plan, Project 985, and Project 211.[2]

As of August 2021, 13 members of Chinese Academy of Sciences and members of Chinese Academy of Engineering in full-time faculty, 38 in part-time faculty, 1 foreign member of the Chinese Academy of Science, 1 member of Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences and 10 members of the Discipline Review Group of Academic Degrees Committee of the State Council are affiliated with DUT.[3]

Introduction

Dalian University of Technology is located in Dalian, Liaoning, with an additional campus in Panjin. Founded in 1949, DUT is one of the top national universities in China, which is a highly focused science and engineering research and education institution. It is the first formal university established for the need for economic and cultural construction of a New China after the Chinese Civil War. The Chinese calligraphy on the latest logo of the university was written by Jiang Zemin former General Secretary of the Chinese Communist Party (1989-2002).

DUT belongs to the "Double First Class University", "985 project", "211 project" and the "Excellence League" of China. DUT's business education institutions are accredited by AACSB, CAMEA and EQUIS, one of eight Universities in China.[citation needed]

History

DUT's predecessor, Dalian University, was founded in 1949. In July 1950, Dalian University was split into Dalian Institute of Technology (大连工学院, DIT) and Dalian Medical College (now Dalian Medical University). Qu Bochuan, the president of DIT, moved the university's main campus to the bay area of suburban Dalian.[citation needed]

In October 1960, DIT became one of the 26 key national universities directly under the State Ministry of Education. The Graduate School of DIT was established in April 1986. In March 1988, DIT changed its name into the current Dalian University of Technology (DUT).[citation needed]

In 2007, Dalian Institute of Semiconductor Technology (DIST) was jointly set up by Intel, Dalian's municipal government, and Dalian University of Technology, and managed by the university. Intel donated an 8-inch chip producing assembly line to DUT, with a total value of US$36 million.[4]

Academics

DUT is the home to three national key laboratories, State Key Laboratory of Structural Analysis for Industrial Equipment, State Key Laboratory of Coastal and Offshore Engineering, State Key Laboratory of Fine Chemicals and the home to three Education Ministry Key Laboratories, Key Laboratory of Materials Modification by Laser, Ion and Electron Beams, Key Laboratory of Technology Precision and Non-traditional Machining and Key Laboratory of Industrial Ecology and Environmental Technology. It also owns one National-level Technical Transfer Center.

There are currently 14 members of Chinese Academy of Engineering or of Sciences as full-time faculty in DUT, including Qiu Dahong, Zhong Wanxie, Cheng Gengdong, Wang Liding (王立鼎), Lin Gao (林皋), Zhao Guofan (赵国藩), Wang Zhongtuo (王众托), Ou Jinping (欧进萍), Shen Changyu (申长雨), Guo Dongming (郭东明) and Jian Xigao (蹇锡高).

There are 21 national key disciplines granted by the Ministry of Education of China, including:

  • Chemical Engineering
  • Mechanics
  • Civil Engineering
  • Mechanical Engineering
  • Mathematics
  • Environmental Engineering
  • Management

Rankings and reputation

First-Class Discipline with PhD degree programs ranked by the Ministry of Education from 2007 to 2009:[5] Chemical Engineering 3rd; Management 5th; Mechanics 8th; Mechanical Engineering 10th; Civil Engineering 6th; Hydraulic Engineering 5th; Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering 5th.

Since 1978, DUT has won almost 1,000 awards for its achievements in scientific and technological research, eleven of which were National Natural Science Awards, nine National Invention Awards, and 30 awards in science and technology.[citation needed]

As of 2022, DUT was listed as one of the top 400 global universities in several major international universities' rankings, including the Academic Ranking of World Universities, the U.S. News & World Report Best Global University Ranking and the Center for World University Rankings.[6][7][8]
