SCHOOL OF MATERIALS SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING TSINGHUA UNIVERSITY www.mse.tsinghua.edu.cn School of Materials Science and Engineering TSINGHUA UNIVERSITY TEL : 86-10-62792520 FAX : 86-10-62771160 E-MAIL : [email protected] Dean Remarks Materials are the physical foundation for a strong national economy, for social progress, and for state security. As the foundation of a wide range of industries, materials have been the driving force for scientific and technological development during the evolution of human civilization. Materials science and engineering have always been infrastructural, guiding and permeable, and thus the level of materials research, together with its educational level, also reflects the comprehensive strength of a country. A key requirement therefore for Tsinghua University to achieve in its strategic objective of becoming a world-class university in the 21st century is the development of materials research and materials education to a world-class level. Based on this goal, the guiding mission of the School of Materials Science and Engineering (SMSE) is to establish an internationally advanced-level platform including materials preparation, analysis & testing, and device research, and to strengthen cooperation with LIN Yuanhua relevant academic research areas in other countries, thereby complementing each other’s advantages, and driving forward progress within the materials science discipline in Tsinghua Dean of School of Materials University. In addition, the school should actively take part in relevant major national research Science and Engineering missions, as well as develop primary innovation within the state innovation system through Professor the realization of breakthroughs in critical materials research, in techniques and devices, and in major theoretical advances and innovations. Our school also recognizes the importance of promoting cooperation with enterprises, allowing the conversion of scientific and technological achievements into productive forces, thereby resulting in great economic benefits to meet the demands of the state, of social development, and of national defense, and to promote Tsinghua University as a knowledge innovation base for internationally advanced level academic studies and basic-research findings. Education of students is one of the most fundamental and important missions of our school. For undergraduate student education, our primary focus is on nurturing the overall ability of the students, in line with the philosophy of “deepening in foundation, broadening in vision, emphasizing in practice, and strengthening in personal quality”. For graduate student education, both innovation ability and international competitiveness are emphasized, in line with a philosophy of “science as the foundation, creativity as the mission”. The SMSE is dedicated to its goals of building up a faculty with top-ranking competitiveness and developing research facilities with first-class standards, thereby allowing scientific research with the highest impact to be carried out, and facilitating the development of innovative educational programs, so as to attract and support talented young students to enroll and study in our school. It is this spirit of “Materialist” that changes the world. Our school sincerely welcomes outstanding students and young scientists from all over the globe who are willing to devote themselves to materials science and engineering to join us and strive together for new discoveries in the world of “Materials”. School of Materials Science and Engineering Dean signature: Tsinghua University Jan, 2017 The School of Materials Science and Engineering (SMSE) in Tsinghua University was founded in December, 2012, by combining the previous Department of Materials Science and Engineering and the Materials Processing division within the Department of Mechanical Engineering. The Department of Materials Science and Engineering was itself first founded in 1988 by the merger of several divisions within Tsinghua University, including the Inorganic Non-metallic Materials division from the Department of Chemistry, the Materials Physics division from the Department of Engineering Physics, and the Metallic Materials division from the Department of Mechanical Engineering. The SMSE has a highly competitive faculty, the Research Center of Magnesium and consisting at present of 52 professors, 31 Aluminum Alloys Processing Technology, associate professors, 8 Assistant Professors, the Beijing High-tech Ceramic Materials and 19 senior engineers, as well as 8 and Processing National Scientific and engineers/staff. With regard to educational Technological Corporation Base, and the activities we are devoted to the training International Research Center of Functional of talented students with an international Materials, appointed by Ministry of Science + perspective and creative spirit, as well as and Technology. with a solid theoretical understanding of 370 materials science and outstanding research Research activities within the SMSE follow ability. Currently more than 370 students are the frontiers of international science as well as supporting national strategic needs. We pursuing their doctoral degrees within the Doctoral Candidates School. Additionally more than 350 students not only encourage original research on basic are pursuing MSc degrees, with more than science, but also actively promote applied 470 undergraduates pursuing their bachelor research to address national major scientific, degrees, including over 30 international technological, and industrial demands. students. The number of SCI-cited papers published annually has ranked first in Tsinghua + Introduction A number of laboratories and centers are University for many years, highlighting the 350 also hosted within the SMSE. These include highly productive research output of faculty the State Key Laboratory of New Ceramics members within the SMSE. Regarding both and Fine Processing, the Education Ministry the publication output and the number of of the School Master Degree Candidates Key Laboratory for Advanced Materials, citations of published papers, the SMSE has the Education Ministry Key Laboratory for been ranked as one of the best institutes in Advanced Materials Processing Technology, the world for the past 10 years according of Materials Science the Beijing National Center for Electron to the ISI statistics, and first in China over Microscopy, and the Center for Testing & a continuous two year period according to Analyzing of Materials of the SMSE, as well the most recent national first-class discipline + and Engineering as other teaching and research institutions. evaluation.In 2017, the School was ranked 470 In addition, the SMSE also encompasses among the top 9 world universities for 1 several research centers and national materials science, by both the US News production-study-research bases, including Ranking by Subject and the QS World the Research Center for Bainitic Steels, University Rankings by Subject.
