Break down Four Barriers () Barrier between Teaching and Learning ()Barrier between Teaching and Research ()Barrier between Schools, Departments and Disciplines ()Barrier between Campus and Community ()

Education objective for students The students we develop at the first should be an all-round talent (), a patriot (), a dialectical materialist (), a person cultivated with culture and arts, noble ethics () and a beautiful mind (), then at the second they are elites with their knowledge in their disciplines and expertise (), future engineers and experts ()

Education objective for students We hope the students in university are to master right learning method, working method, and way of thinking, which is also a method of dialectical materialism. The courses and professional they learnt are just the means to equip them with this method.

Uniqueness of SHU Academic SystemsShort Academic Term i.e. Quarters system ()Credit System ()Course Elective System ()The rules and system ensured the mission and vision to carry out longer

Shanghai University of Technology was once Shanghai Institute of Technology founded in 1960, and in 1972 the institute merged with Shanghai Institute of Mechanism with its headquarters on Shanghai Institute of Technology campus. The twowere separatedin 1979 and was renamed Shanghai Industrial University and Shanghai Institute of Mechanism, respectivelywith the admission of Chinese Ministry of Education .

Shanghai University of Science & Technology was formed by East China Branch of Chinese Academy of Sciences in 1958. The president of the university was the chief of the East China Branch, and all the deans in related subjects were also the heads of the institutes of Chinese Academy of Sciences in Shanghai, so the university had a very close relationship with all the academies and institutes.

The former Shanghai University was founded in 1983, including School of Liberal Arts, School of International Business, School of Fine Arts, School of Engineering and School of Law. These schools respectively came from branch of Fudan University, branch of merged Shanghai Foreign Studies University and Shanghai Mechanics College, Shanghai Fine Arts College, part branch of merged East China Normal University and Shanghai Science & Technology University, Shanghai College of Law. Shanghai Science & Technology College was once Shanghai No. 2 Science & Technology School established in 1959, and the school became a college in 1981.

In the 1920s, there was a Shanghai University in Shanghai. Founded in 1922, it was the outcome of the cooperation between the Communist Party and the Kuomintang(KMT). Yu Youren, a member of KMT,served as the president of the university, Yun Daiying was in charge of general affairs, Qu Qiubai was theChair of Sociology Department, and many other CPC leaders and famous scholars worked there. However, Jiangjieshi and other KMT right-wing members forced the university to close after their counterrevolutionary coup. With a cautious study style and strong revolutionary atmosphere but a rather short history, the university contributed a group of useful people to the cause of Chinese liberation and development, including Li Shuoxun, father of Lipeng and a revolutionary martyr as well, and former Chinese President Yang Shangkun, etc.

At that time, people could say it proudly that Shanghai University was the top school in liberal arts, while Huangpu (a distinguished military school in China) in military training.
