The Historical Evolution of Shandong Polytechnic University

During the period of founding industrial college

1In the summer of 949, the Shandong Provincial People's Government decided to merge all departments and equipment of six engineering secondary specialized schools, namely East China Jiaotong University, East China Jiaotong University Xuzhou Branch, East China Advanced Industrial School, Shandong Provincial People's Government Industrial School of Production Department, Qingdao Advanced Industrial School of Production Department, and Jinan Industrial School of East China Ministry of Finance, Trade and Industry, with a certain level of running schools, and set up Shandong Industrial College. 1 949165438+1October1Shandong provincial institute of technology was formally established with its headquarters in Jinan and branches in Weifang and Qingdao. Jinan has set up the Department of Electrical Engineering and the Department of Automotive Engineering, Qingdao has set up two high-tech courses of civil engineering and textile, and Weifang has set up two departments of machinery and applied chemistry. Zhang is the principal and head of the party group.

Shandong Institute of Technology was founded.

After the establishment of Shandong Institute of Technology, the school department was set up: the general school has committees such as secretarial office, accounting office, preparation office, engineering brigade and production management Committee, and each branch school has committees such as academic affairs office, general affairs office, accounting office and production management Committee. The school has six departments: department of mechanical engineering, Electrical Engineering Department, Automobile Engineering Department, Civil Engineering Department, Textile Engineering Department and Applied Chemical Engineering Department. 1950 in March, the applied chemistry department of Weifang College was changed to the chemical engineering department, and in August, the textile department of Qingdao University was changed to the textile engineering department. After the adjustment, the whole school has six departments: electrical engineering, automatic vehicle engineering, mechanical engineering, chemical engineering, textile engineering and civil engineering.

The environment is hard

At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic, everything was in a hurry, the country was extremely difficult, and all kinds of funds were extremely tight. School construction can only be simple, and all localities are self-reliant. At that time, students' study and living conditions were very difficult, and they enjoyed the treatment of supply system at school. The staple food of every meal is corn, millet and soybean powder, except for major festivals, vegetables are eaten without meat. I live in an ordinary wooden shop with incomplete doors and windows. 1949 winter, the weather was extremely cold, and the lowest temperature in Jinan reached MINUS 20℃. At this time, the situation in the student dormitory has not been improved. The school wall has not been completely built, the doors and windows of the student dormitory are not neat, and wolves appear from time to time on campus, especially at night. In order to ensure the safety of the school, guards were set up. Teachers and students volunteered to take turns to patrol at night until the fence was completely built. Despite such difficulties and harsh environment, all the teachers and students didn't complain. They take it as their responsibility to participate in the establishment of the school through labor, and feel extremely honored to be one of the entrepreneurs. Every time after school, the spontaneously organized labor force appears in every corner of the campus. The bricks used to build classrooms and dormitories were all carried back by teachers and students from the south gate of the old city four miles away. Most of the bricks and stones used in the student dormitories built after the school was founded are wall blockhouses. Students not only actively participate in transporting materials, but also participate in making bricks. Most of the red bricks needed to build the teaching building 1 2 are made by students themselves.

1950 On June 1-9, the Central Ministry of Education held the first national higher education conference in Beijing. The main results of this meeting are: 1. The principles and tasks of higher education have been established; 2. Adopted the Provisional Regulations on Colleges and Universities, the Principles of Curriculum Reform and the Decision on Leadership Relations; 3. It laid the foundation for the initial unity of higher education departments. President Zhang attended the meeting. In order to implement the spirit of the first national higher education conference, the first teaching conference of Shandong Institute of Technology was held in Jinan General School on July 25th. The meeting thoroughly discussed and studied the school's construction principles, tasks, implementation steps and programs, teacher training, curriculum reform, teaching work and other issues. It is pointed out that the party's education policy is the school-running policy of Shandong Institute of Technology, that is, "under the leadership of the China Producer Party, the people's, popular, anti-imperialist and anti-feudal new culture education will be carried out", "the task of the technical college is to cultivate advanced construction talents with high cultural level and grasp the achievements of modern science and technology, and serve the people wholeheartedly with teaching methods consistent with theory and practice", and the meeting emphasized "overcoming dogmatism and narrow pragmatism and empiricism" In the specific teaching work, we should try our best to avoid engaging in surprise and short-term training classes, take the path of regular running schools, and correct the previous teaching method of separating teachers from students. Teachers should personally correct homework, guide practice, help students learn by themselves, go deep into students' lives, get along with students, and try to avoid employment concepts and hierarchical concepts. The meeting asked all departments to attach great importance to theoretical teaching, appropriately reduce students' social activities, ensure students' study time, and moderately streamline professional courses. On the basis of summing up the past experience and lessons, we will continue to adhere to the combination of theory and practice, attach importance to internship teaching as always, and stipulate that students' internship results account for half of the academic year's results, and those who fail to pass the internship results are not allowed to be promoted. At the same time, we should avoid the idea of internship simply for the sake of internship and pay attention to the usual training and exercise. In order to make full use of the holiday time, the school decided to arrange the factory internship in the summer vacation. This teaching work conference is the first large-scale conference devoted to the study of school-running ideas and the determination of school-running ideas since the establishment of Shandong Institute of Technology. Through this meeting, a series of major problems in running schools have been initially solved. The policy of this meeting has been well implemented in practice.

spirit

Shandong Institute of Technology is an advanced engineering college founded by our party. Cultivating qualified industrial construction talents and serving the people wholeheartedly is the fundamental task of the school, so we attach great importance to the cultivation of excellent school spirit and study style. At that time, the school motto promulgated by the school followed the "people's stand, scientific attitude, creative spirit and pragmatic style" in the period of high engineering in East China. All the work embodies the basic spirit of these 20 words. The relationship between cadres and the masses, between teachers and students, and between intellectuals and workers is very harmonious. President Zhang is 1937, an "old cadre" who went to Yan 'an to participate in the revolution. Since coming to Shandong, he has maintained the fine tradition and work style of the Lao Ba Road. He respects and cares about teachers and students, and does not put on conditions or put on airs. He refused to live in the first batch of staff dormitories built by the school, and insisted on waiting until all the teaching staff had housing before he was the last to move into the bungalow. Zhang's work style has left a profound influence on the teachers and students of the school. Teachers, students and staff unite and support each other. Nobody talks about pay and demands. Everyone is building a school in full swing. In the process of establishing the school, students have established deep feelings with teachers and workers. Respecting teachers and loving students is completely heartfelt and sincere. It has become a fashion for students to help cook in the canteen and the chef to take care of it, which fully embodies the intimate relationship. Thanks to the concerted efforts and hard work of Qi Xin, a staff member of the whole school, the school construction is progressing smoothly with remarkable achievements.

be committed to

1950 flood season, the Huaihe river basin flooded, causing great losses to the production and life of coastal people. The East China Military and Political Committee instructed that Class A and Class B of the Civil Engineering Department of Shandong Institute of Technology were immediately transferred to the Huaihe River. 65438+ 10 On June 4th, 79 teachers and students from two classes of Civil Engineering Department arrived in Nanjing by train with measuring instruments. After attending intensive study, I went to Suxian area (now Suzhou city) and Fuyang area (now Fuyang city) which suffered the most. The main work of harnessing the Huaihe River in winter is to restore dikes, dredge and cultivate and repair main canals and lakes and marshes. On the construction site, students of Shandong Institute of Technology are not only builders and technicians, but also teachers and propagandists. Most of them are also heads of public works, leading nearly 10,000 migrant workers. /kloc-in the winter of 0/950, it was extremely cold in North China and the river was closed by heavy snow. Construction is extremely difficult. Students live in Mao 'an, and they eat rice from a big stove (like migrant workers, it is usually steamed bread, porridge and pickles), and the conditions are extremely difficult. At that time, there were bandits in the Huaihe River basin, and the reactionary forces that were not suppressed were also ready to move in the year of catastrophe, waiting for an opportunity to destroy them. Although the conditions are so bad and the work is so heavy, the students of Shandong Institute of Technology have shown the qualities of being particularly hard-working and fighting. 195 1 July, the work of harnessing the Huaihe River was successfully completed. Shandong Institute of Technology was awarded the banner of "Pioneer in Huaihe River Management" by the leading organs of Huaihe River Management, and many students won the first class and the second class. In view of their outstanding performance in harnessing the Huaihe River, the State Council specially instructed these students to be assigned to work along the Huaihe River after graduation. At that time, students came from all over the country, and they took the needs of the country as their responsibility. 1In July, 950, 54 first-time graduates from the high-tech department of the Engineering College happily accepted the job assignment in Northeast China for the needs of the country and the overall situation of the country, and devoted their knowledge and youth to the border construction. During the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, all students responded to the call of the CPC Central Committee, enthusiastically signed up for the army, and participated in donation activities. ( 195 1—— 1983)

rechristen

In order to speed up the development of the school and meet the needs of large-scale economic construction, the Ministry of Education of the Central People's Government approved the renaming of Shandong Institute of Technology on June 1950+0 14, and on June 195 13, Shandong Provincial People's Government Lu (565438) decided to rename Shandong Institute of Technology. The director of the government industry bureau was appointed as the president of the technical college, and Zhang was appointed as the vice president. When the school was changed to Shandong Institute of Technology, the leadership relationship was entrusted by the Ministry of Education of East China Military and Political Commission to the Shandong Provincial Department of Culture and Education and the Industry Department. There is a party group in the school, and Zhang is the party secretary.

Prosperous

1In the summer of 952, the Central Ministry of Education decided to "focus on cultivating talents and teachers for industrial construction, develop specialized colleges, rectify and strengthen comprehensive universities, and adjust colleges and universities nationwide with emphasis on North China, Northeast China and East China". Since the second half of the year, the Central Ministry of Education has adjusted the departments of colleges and universities nationwide. According to the requirements of the plan, the school undertook the construction tasks of four departments of 1 1: department of mechanical engineering offered undergraduate courses such as mechanical manufacturing, metallographic heat treatment and workshop equipment, and specialized courses such as metal processing and metallographic heat treatment; The department of electrical engineering has undergraduate courses such as power plant distribution network and system, radio communication and broadcasting, and professional courses of power plant electrical and wired electrical engineering; Bachelor degree in inorganic engineering, Department of Chemical Engineering; The department of automatic vehicle engineering has undergraduate courses in tractor and specialized courses in automobile maintenance. The departments of civil engineering and textile engineering in Gong Shan were transferred to the newly established Qingdao University of Technology. At the same time, teachers, equipment and students from the mechanical and electrical departments of Shandong Institute of Technology were transferred to department of mechanical engineering and the electrical engineering department. This adjustment has reduced the school from six departments to four departments, but the adjusted teaching staff has been strengthened and enriched. Many teachers have studied in Britain, America, Germany, Japan, Belgium and other countries and obtained various degrees. They have been engaged in higher education for a long time and have rich teaching experience, which is deeply respected and welcomed by students. With the adjustment of departments nationwide, the level of teachers in the school has reached the peak since its establishment, and its social prestige has also been significantly improved.

adjust

1953 Shandong University of Technology is directly led by the Central Ministry of Higher Education. At this time, it is the first year of the national "First Five-Year Plan". In view of the large-scale and planned economic construction, in order to make the distribution of institutions of higher learning more reasonable, the use of human and material resources more concentrated, and the training objectives of various professionals more clear, the central government decided to continue to make professional adjustments. 1953 On August 7, the Central Ministry of Higher Education issued an adjustment plan to change the mountain tractor major to the automobile undergraduate major; The undergraduate course of radio communication broadcasting was transferred to Nanjing Institute of Technology; The professional course of cable electricity was transferred to Jiaotong University (Shanghai Jiaotong University); Stop enrolling students in specialized courses of automobile maintenance; The Department of Chemical Engineering was closed, and the inorganic engineering undergraduate major was transferred to East China Institute of Chemical Technology; Shanghai East China Jiaotong University was abolished, and the mechanical department of the school was transferred to the department of metalworking and heat treatment. After the adjustment, Shandong Institute of Technology has three departments of machinery, motors and automatic vehicles, and six majors of machinery manufacturing technology (undergraduate), automobile manufacturing (undergraduate), power plant distribution network and combined drive system (both undergraduate and specialist), metal cutting (specialist) and metal heat treatment (specialist). 1954 1 February 3 1 year, the Central Ministry of Higher Education and the Ministry of Machinery Industry jointly issued a notice to establish Changchun Automobile Tractor College (later Jilin University of Technology) on the basis of all teachers, equipment and students majoring in automobile in Jiaotong University, east china institute of technology and Shandong University of Technology. According to the requirements of the notice, 1955 transferred the automatic vehicle department of Shandong institute of technology to Changchun in summer, and 1955 transferred the foundry major of Sunan institute of technology to Gong Shan in summer.

1956 summer school added three majors, namely metal pressure processing and machinery, casting technology and machinery, and electrical machinery and appliances. The specialized course of metal heat treatment was changed to undergraduate course, and other specialized courses were suspended. In addition, the newly-built machine tool and tool specialty has two departments and seven undergraduate majors. Night University was established, with two majors: mechanical technology and power plant. The first enrollment is 9 1.

Propaganda politics

In order to strengthen the political and ideological work of teachers and students, on May 3,1,1952, the school set up a political counseling office, which consists of three functional departments: organization, education and youth, in charge of organization, publicity and young teachers' work. At the same time, there are 1 political counselors in each department, who are specifically responsible for organizing and inspecting the political theory study of teachers and students in each department and assisting party organizations in political and ideological education. According to the ideological status of teachers and students in the whole school, combined with the domestic situation, the Political and Educational Affairs Office often uses current affairs reports to organize discussions, and carries out current affairs policy education through various channels such as Journal of Shandong University of Technology (predecessor of Shandong University of Technology,1June 953), radio and blackboard newspaper. , so as to carry out the learning objectives among students, study discipline, and love labor and majors. These measures have played a very good role in improving the political consciousness of teachers and students and establishing the lofty ideal of capitalism.

Problems existing in the policy

1956 may19, the first party member congress of Shandong institute of technology, China production party was held. The 57 delegates attending the conference represented 428 teachers, students and party member. On behalf of the last Party Committee, Ding Zongyue made a report on "Striving for Resolutely Implementing the Party's Intellectual Policy, Ensuring the Completion of Teaching Tasks and Marching into Science". This congress has always been permeated with the spirit of criticism and self-criticism, examined the problems existing in the implementation of the central intellectual policy since the school was founded, criticized and exposed the problems existing in the school party and the shortcomings and mistakes of individual party Committee members in their work and life. This congress has enlivened the democratic life within the party, strengthened the unity of the party, improved the party's democratic system, created good conditions for strengthening the party's leadership, and provided organizational guarantee for better implementing the party's resolutions. The meeting elected a new collective leadership of the Party's work. With the approval of the higher authorities, Ding Zongyue was appointed secretary of the current Party Committee, and Wang Tiesheng and Xu Xiang were appointed deputy secretaries. 1959 On August 26th, the second Party Congress of Shandong Institute of Technology was held. Ding Zongyue was elected as the new party secretary, and Kong Zhen and Hou Shuping were elected as deputy secretaries. In party building, 195 1 year, there are only 1 party branches, and there are 40 people in party member. 1959 there are 4 general party branches and 42 party branches, with 472 people in party member. The school has 797 teaching staff, including 286 teachers and 3309 students. From 195 1 to 1959, 2,435 students have graduated, and * * * completed 2 scientific research projects, 28 scientific research papers, and more than 80 reading reports. The campus covers an area of 344,322 square meters with a building area of 86 166544.
