The school is an excellent university in the undergraduate teaching level evaluation of the Ministry of Education (2006), and was selected as a supporting university for the basic capacity building project of central and western universities by the Ministry of Education (2016).
In 1952, the school’s predecessor, Shanxi Machinery Manufacturing Industry School, was founded. Mr. Zhi Bingyuan, the founder of modern China’s machinery industry and a pioneer in the development of internal combustion engines in China, served as the principal. In 1953, the school was placed under the Central Government’s First Ministry of Machinery Industry. In 1955, the forging majors of Changchun Automobile School and Hankou Machinery Manufacturing School were merged. In 1960, it was renamed Taiyuan Heavy Machinery College. In 1965, the hoisting and conveying machinery majors of Dalian Institute of Technology and Shenyang Mechanical and Electrical College were merged. In 1998, it was changed to be mainly constructed by the provincial department and managed by the province. In 2004, it was renamed Taiyuan University of Science and Technology.
The school adheres to the spirit of "forging ahead with responsibilities and pursuing truth". After nearly seventy years of unremitting efforts, it has developed into a university with engineering as its main focus, liberal arts and sciences as two wings, equipment manufacturing as the mainstream disciplines, and science and technology as its main disciplines.
