Power Engineering and Thermophysics

Xi'an Jiaotong University (XJTU), a key university under the direct administration of the Ministry of Education, is one of China's oldest and most prestigious higher education institutions, enjoying a strong reputation.

Since relocating to Xi'an, capital of Northwest China's Shaanxi province, generations of XJTU members have cultivated the ‌Westward Relocation Spirit‌, which is among the first batch of China's communist spirits.

Sheng Xuanhuai, a renowned industrialist and educator, founded the Shanghai-based Nanyang Mission College in 1896. In 1921, the college changed its name to Jiaotong University. Starting in 1956, faculty and students relocated to Xi'an in batches. In 1959, the Xi'an branch of Jiaotong University was officially named Xi'an Jiaotong University.

According to data released by Essential Science Indicators (ESI) in May of this year, 19 disciplines at XJTU ranked in the top 1 percent globally among academic institutions, with six disciplines ranking in the top one-thousandth. Among them, engineering ranked in the top one-ten-thousandth, making it eighth globally.

XJTU is now a comprehensive research university with 11 major disciplines: science, engineering, medicine, economics, management, humanities, law, philosophy, art, education, and inter-disciplines. The university has 34 schools, departments, and centers, nine colleges for undergraduates, and three affiliated hospitals. It also has 6,754 faculty and staff members, including 3,813 full-time teachers.

The university has 62,089 students, comprising 25,595 undergraduates, 32,565 postgraduates, and 3,929 international students from 136 countries. It offers 77 undergraduate majors, and has 43 first-level disciplines authorized to confer doctoral degrees, 45 first-level disciplines authorized to confer master's degrees, seven majors authorized to confer professional doctoral degrees, and 31 majors authorized to confer professional master's degrees.

XJTU has 34 postdoctoral research stations, eight national first-level key disciplines, eight national second-level key disciplines, and three national key or nurturing disciplines.

It has built the Western China Science and Technology Innovation Harbour (iHarbour) and constructed eight major platforms, 30 research institutes, and over 400 research bases and think tanks focusing on four primary areas: science, engineering, medicine, and the humanities.

Power engineering and thermophysics is a discipline that studies the fundamental theories and engineering applications of energy conversion, transmission and utilization. Its core focuses on the conversion laws of "thermal energy - mechanical energy - electrical energy", addressing issues such as efficient energy utilization, optimization of power systems and design of thermal equipment. As a typical interdisciplinary field, its research scope covers traditional energy (thermal power, nuclear power), new energy (wind power, hydrogen energy), energy-saving technologies (energy storage, heat pumps), and aerospace power (aero engines), among others. It serves as a technical pillar for industries such as energy, transportation, and manufacturing in the national economy.

The School of International Education was founded in March,2006. It is famous for a beautiful study environment, advanced teaching facilities, professional academic staff, diversified courses and effective teaching. Since the school establishment, over 2,000 international students from more than 30 countries have participated in Chinese study. After several years' improvement, the School of Chinese Language Study has become an independent school with a combination of Chinese teaching and culture education. Through a combination of Chinese listening, speaking, reading and writing, international students can acquire a vocabulary of 800-1000 Chinese words after 6 months and 1500-2000 after one year. In recent years, the Ratio of our international students passing the 3rd band of HSK (the Chinese proficiency test) is over 90%, and that of passing 6th is over 60%. Language school graduates have gone on to get their get master’s degrees at Chinese universities, find jobs in international politics, economics and culture fields and write articles for Chinese newspapers and magazines. One student even published a book written entirely in Chinese

Our university has two dormitory building for international students. There are four types of rooms: Single room (A), Double room (A), Single room (B), Double room (B).

Food
There are 16 main canteens in the campus, including most kinds of food in China. International students can dine at various canteens. There is a canteen on the 4th floor of international student building. It’s much convenience for international students dine there. There also have some special canteen, for example, noodle house, Muslim canteen, and food of Taiwan kind—MingJi canteen.
