The school can be traced back to Beiyang University as early as 1895. 1956 During the third adjustment of national colleges and universities, the school was formed by the merger of the departments of architecture, civil engineering and municipal engineering of Northeast Institute of Technology, Northwest Institute of Technology, Qingdao Institute of Technology and Sunan Institute of Technology, and was named Xi 'an Institute of Architecture and Engineering. 1959 and 1963 were renamed as Xi 'an Institute of Metallurgy and Xi 'an Institute of Metallurgical Architecture. 1994 March, with the approval of the former State Education Commission, it was renamed Xi 'an University of Architecture and Technology; The graduate school was established on 20 1 1.
achievements in scientific research
From 2005 to 20 10, the school has successively made new breakthroughs in projects such as the National Natural Science Foundation's Outstanding Youth Fund Project, major international (regional) cooperation projects, the Tenth Five-Year National Science and Technology Key Project, the 863 Plan, and the 973 Pre-plan. He has published more than 3,000 papers and more than 0/00 scientific and technological works in national academic journals, achieved domestic advanced achievements, won 3 national awards and more than 0/00 provincial and ministerial scientific and technological awards. The popularization and transformation of scientific and technological achievements have created nearly 10 billion yuan of social and economic benefits.
The number of independent intellectual property rights (patents) and the number of patent applications of the school rank about 50th among universities in China. The school has three first-class design and research institutes in architecture, urban planning and building materials, and a large number of high-quality research institutions. It has successively undertaken dozens of national key planning and design and key scientific and technological research projects, such as the overall planning and design of the renovation of the Huangdi Mausoleum, the research on the green building system in the Loess Plateau, the research on the mechanism of applying the theory of large particle fluidization to the calcination of cement clinker, the research on the recycling of water resources in the arid and water-deficient areas in the west, the research on the durability of concrete structures, the research on the extraction and processing of rare metal titanium and zirconium, and the research on nanotechnology.
