The history of Beijing University of Science and Technology can be traced back to the first mining and metallurgy discipline in modern Chinese history, which was founded by the Beiyang Western Learning School in 1895. In 1952, the school was formed by the mining and metallurgy departments of six famous domestic universities, including Tianjin University (formerly Beiyang University) and Tsinghua University, and was named Beijing Institute of Iron and Steel Industry. It was the first higher education institution in the iron and steel industry established in New China. In 1960, it was renamed Beijing Iron and Steel Institute and approved as a national key university. In 1984, it became one of the first universities in the country to formally establish a graduate school. In 1988, it was renamed Beijing University of Science and Technology. In May 1997, the school was among the first batch of universities to enter the ranks of the national "211 Project". In 2006, the school became one of the first universities to build an innovation platform for advantageous disciplines in the "985 Project". In 2014, the "Steel Common Technology Collaborative Innovation Center" led by the school, with Beijing University of Science and Technology and Northeastern University as core universities, was successfully selected into the national "2011 Plan". In 2017, the school was selected as a national "Double First-Class" university. In 2018, the school was approved as a university jointly built by the State Administration of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense and the Ministry of Education. At present, the school has developed into a national key university directly under the Ministry of Education, with engineering as the main discipline and coordinated development of multiple disciplines such as engineering, science, management, literature, economics, and law. Over the past 70 years since its establishment, the school has gradually formed the school motto of "seeking truth and innovation", the fine tradition of "rigorous academic style and advocating practice", and the new characteristics of the new era of Beike spirit of "pursuing excellence and daring to be the first", and has trained more than 300,000 talents of various types for the society, many of whom have become the pillars and backbones of the country's politics, economy, science and technology, education and other fields, especially the metallurgical and materials industries. Party and state leaders such as Luo Gan, Liu Qi, Xu Kuangdi, Huang Mengfu, Fan Changlong, Guo Shengkun, and Liu Xiaofeng have all studied at the school. Another 47 alumni have been elected as academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences or the Chinese Academy of Engineering. A large number of alumni have taken important leadership positions in large and medium-sized state-owned enterprises such as China First Heavy Industries, China Baowu, China Mineral Resources, BAIC, and Hesteel. The school has made positive contributions to the development of my country's steel industry and is known as the "cradle of steel."
