上海交通大学是我国历史最悠久、享誉海内外的高等学府之一,是教育部直属并与上海市共建的全国重点大学。经过119年的不懈努力,上海交通大学已经成为一所“综合性、研究型、国际化”的国内一流、国际知名大学。
十九世纪末,甲午战败,民族危难。中国近代著名实业家、教育家盛宣怀和一批有识之士秉持“自强首在储才,储才必先兴学”的信念,于1896年在上海创办了交通大学的前身——南洋公学。建校伊始,学校即坚持“求实学,务实业”的宗旨,以培养“第一等人才”为教育目标,精勤进取,笃行不倦,在二十世纪二三十年代已成为国内著名的高等学府,被誉为“东方MIT”。抗战时期,广大师生历尽艰难,移转租界,内迁重庆,坚持办学,不少学生投笔从戎,浴血沙场。解放前夕,广大师生积极投身民主革命,学校被誉为“民主堡垒”。
新中国成立初期,为配合国家经济建设的需要,学校调整出相当一部分优势专业、师资设备,支持国内兄弟院校的发展。五十年代中期,学校又响应国家建设大西北的号召,根据国务院决定,部分迁往西安,分为交通大学上海部分和西安部分。1959年3月两部分同时被列为全国重点大学,7月经国务院批准分别独立建制,交通大学上海部分启用“上海交通大学”校名。历经西迁、两地办学、独立办学等变迁,为构建新中国的高等教育体系,促进社会主义建设做出了重要贡献。六七十年代,学校先后归属国防科工委和六机部领导,积极投身国防人才培养和国防科研,为“两弹一星”和国防现代化做出了巨大贡献。
改革开放以来,学校以“敢为天下先”的精神,大胆推进改革:率先组成教授代表团访问美国,率先实行校内管理体制改革,率先接受海外友人巨资捐赠等,有力地推动了学校的教学科研改革。1984年,邓小平同志亲切接见了学校领导和师生代表,对学校的各项改革给予了充分肯定。在国家和上海市的大力支持下,学校以“上水平、创一流”为目标,以学科建设为龙头,先后恢复和兴建了理科、管理学科、生命学科、法学和人文学科等。1999年,上海农学院并入;2005年,与上海第二医科大学强强合并。至此,学校完成了综合性大学的学科布局。近年来,通过国家“985工程”和“211工程”的建设,学校高层次人才日渐汇聚,科研实力快速提升,实现了向研究型大学的转变。与此同时,学校通过与美国密西根大学等世界一流大学的合作办学,实施国际化战略取得重要突破。1985年开始闵行校区建设,历经20多年,已基本建设成设施完善,环境优美的现代化大学校园,并已完成了办学重心向闵行校区的转移。学校现有徐汇、闵行、黄浦、长宁、七宝、浦东等校区,总占地面积4893亩。通过一系列的改革和建设,学校的各项办学指标大幅度上升,实现了跨越式发展,整体实力显著增强,为建设世界一流大学奠定了坚实的基础。
交通大学始终把人才培养作为办学的根本任务。一百多年来,学校为国家和社会培养了20余万各类优秀人才,包括一批杰出的政治家、科学家、社会活动家、实业家、工程技术专家和医学专家,如江泽民、陆定一、丁关根、汪道涵、钱学森、吴文俊、徐光宪、张光斗、黄炎培、邵力子、李叔同、蔡锷、邹韬奋、严隽琪、陈敏章、王振义、陈竺等。在中国科学院、中国工程院院士中,有200余位交大校友;在国家23位“两弹一星”功臣中,有6位交大校友;在18位国家最高科学技术奖获得者中,有3位来自交大。交大创造了中国近现代发展史上的诸多“第一”:中国最早的内燃机、最早的电机、最早的中文打字机等;新中国第一艘万吨轮、第一艘核潜艇、第一艘气垫船、第一艘水翼艇、自主设计的第一代战斗机、第一枚运载火箭、第一颗人造卫星、第一例心脏二尖瓣分离术、第一例成功移植同种原位肝手术、第一例成功抢救大面积烧伤病人手术,第一个大学翻译出版机构,数量第一的地方文献,国内第一位欧洲科学院人文社科院士等,都凝聚着交大师生和校友的心血智慧。改革开放以来,一批年轻的校友已在世界各地、各行各业崭露头角。
截至2014年12月,学校共有28个学院/直属系,27个直属单位,16家附属医院,全日制本科生(国内)15971人、研究生(国内)29895人(其中全日制硕士研究生13746人、全日制博士研究生6274人),学位留学生1869;有专任教师2823名,其中教授862名;中国科学院院士20名,中国工程院院士22名,中组部顶尖“千人计划”1名入选中组部“千人计划”94名,“青年千人”60名,“长江学者”特聘教授和讲座教授共130名,国家杰出青年基金获得者107名,国家重点基础研究发展计划(973计划)首席科学家35名(青年科学家2名),国家重大科学研究计划首席科学家14名,国家基金委创新研究群体11个,教育部创新团队21个,上海交通大学位列科技部“国家创新人才培养示范基地”。
