Xi'an University of Architecture and Technology is located in the historical and cultural city of Xi'an. It currently has two campuses, Yanta and Caotang, and a university science and technology park. The Yanta campus overlooks the world-famous Big Wild Goose Pagoda of the Tang Dynasty in the south and faces the world-famous ancient city wall of the Ming Dynasty in the north; the Caotang campus is located on Caosi East Road in the High-tech Zone; the university science and technology park is located in the southern section of the Xingfu Forest Belt in the Xi'an High-tech East Development Zone, and is adjacent to the scenic Chanba Ecological Park in the east; the two campuses and the science and technology park cover a total area of more than 3,700 acres. The university has a long history and profound cultural heritage, which can be traced back to the Tianjin Beiyang Western Learning School founded in 1895. In 1956, when the colleges and departments of higher education institutions across the country were adjusted, the civil engineering, architecture, and municipal engineering departments (disciplines) of the former Northeast Institute of Technology, Northwest Institute of Technology, Qingdao Institute of Technology, and Sunan Industrial College were merged as a whole, accumulating the earliest batch of civil engineering, architecture, and environmental engineering departments (disciplines) in the history of modern higher education in my country. At that time, it was named "Xi'an Institute of Architecture and Engineering". It is the first undergraduate architectural institution in Northwest China, one of the famous "old eight schools" of civil engineering and architecture in my country, and a key university directly under the former Ministry of Metallurgical Industry. In 1959 and 1963, the school was renamed "Xi'an Metallurgical Institute" and "Xi'an Metallurgical and Architectural Institute" respectively; on March 8, 1994, with the approval of the former State Education Commission, it was renamed "Xi'an University of Architecture and Technology". In 1998, the school was transferred to the management of the Shaanxi Provincial People's Government. It is now an implementing institution of the "National High-level University Project" and the "Basic Capacity Construction Project for Colleges and Universities in Central and Western China", and a university jointly built by Shaanxi Province, the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development. After more than 60 years of construction and development since the merger, the school has been continuously strengthened and has become a multidisciplinary university with civil engineering, environmental municipal engineering, material metallurgy and related disciplines as its characteristics, engineering technology as its main body, and coordinated development of engineering, management, art, science, literature, law, philosophy, economics, and education. The school was awarded the "Special Contribution Award for Architectural Education" by the International Union of Architects (UIA), the "National Advanced Employment Work Unit" by the State Council, and the school party committee was awarded the title of "National Advanced Grassroots Party Organization" by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China. The school is the first unit approved by the State Council to grant doctoral, master's and bachelor's degrees. The school has three original national key disciplines (structural engineering, environmental engineering, architectural design and its theory), and was selected as a national "double first-class" cultivation university in the second round of Shaanxi Province. Architecture was selected as a discipline that is expected to sprint for the national "double first-class" construction. The school currently has 10 doctoral programs, including 8 first-level doctoral degree authorization programs, 2 doctoral professional degree authorization programs, and 9 postdoctoral mobile stations; 44 master's programs, including 25 first-level master's degree authorization programs and 19 master's professional degree authorization programs. The doctoral programs involve two disciplines, engineering and management, and the master's programs involve 10 disciplines, including engineering, management, art, science, law, philosophy, literature, education, economics, and interdisciplinary disciplines, basically covering all undergraduate majors of the school. The school keeps a close eye on the "Double First-Class" construction goals, continuously strengthens the construction of discipline connotation, and has achieved milestone results in discipline development. Disciplines such as architecture, civil engineering, and environmental science and engineering have made important breakthroughs in the fifth round of national discipline evaluation. Four disciplines, including urban and rural planning, landscape architecture, management science and engineering, and materials science and engineering, have achieved expected results. The advantages of the "Architectural Technology" discipline chain group are more prominent. Engineering has entered the top 1 in the ESI rankings worldwide.48‰, materials science, environment and ecology, and chemistry are among the top 1% in the world. Architecture and built environment are among the top 200 in the QS World University Rankings. Six disciplines, including civil engineering, environmental science and engineering, chemical engineering, energy science and engineering, bioengineering, and metallurgical engineering, are included in the "Soft Science World-Class Discipline Ranking". The school currently has 21 colleges and 67 undergraduate majors, including architecture, urban and rural planning, landscape architecture, civil engineering, urban underground space engineering, water supply and drainage science and engineering, environmental engineering, engineering management, materials science and engineering, materials forming and control engineering, environmental design, building environment and energy application engineering, building electrical and intelligent, cultural industry management, metallurgical engineering, transportation, historical building protection engineering, business administration, mechanical design, manufacturing and automation, computer science and technology, information management and information systems, automation, sculpture, environmental science, visual communication design, engineering mechanics, and social sports guidance and management. 27 majors have been selected as national first-class undergraduate major construction sites, and 35 majors have been selected as Shaanxi Province's first-class undergraduate major construction sites. 16 majors including architecture, civil engineering, engineering management, urban and rural planning, building environment and energy application engineering, water supply and drainage science and engineering, environmental engineering, materials science and engineering, metallurgical engineering, computer science and technology, functional materials, mechanical design and manufacturing and automation, mining engineering, automation, transportation, and mineral processing engineering have successively passed the national professional evaluation certification.
