Shaanxi University of Science & Technology is a university located in Xi'an, Shaanxi province, China.
History[]
Founded in 1958 as Beijing Institute of Light Industry (BJILI), the university was under direct administration of former State Ministry of Light Industry and had been the first higher educational institute focusing on light industry since the founding of the People’s Republic of China in 1949.[1] Then in 1970 BJILI was relocated to Xianyang City of Shaanxi Province where it merged with the Preparatory Office of Xianyang College of Light Industry and was granted a new name: Northwest Institute of Light Industry (NWILI). In 1978, NWILI was identified by the State Council as one of the 88 national key universities in China. After twenty years till 1998, NWILI was handed over to local provincial government from the central ministry and was incorporated in the system of "co-governance from central and provincial government with local governance as main part". Approved by the Ministry of Education in 2002, NWILI was named Shaanxi University of Science & Technology (SUST). After 2004, SUST opened a new campus in Xi'an. Then two years later in 2006, the mainpart of the university moved eastward to Xi'an, the capital city of Shaanxi Province.[2]
Education[]

SUST is well known for its light industry education, which includes four national and provincial key disciplines: paper-making engineering, materials engineering, leather-making engineering, and packaging engineering. For more detailed information, go to the Research page about specific projects and the Academics page, which describes each college.
Paper-making Engineering
In conjunction with the founding of SUST in 1958, the paper-making engineering discipline is “a key discipline of Shaanxi province.” At present, it focuses on the research and development of paper-making technologies. SUST is consistently developing new products, innovating new paper-making processes and achieving “green production” goals. Leading faculty and scientific achievements have made this field a well-known SUST symbol.
Materials Engineering
SUST has received national recognition in connection with materials engineering. In this field, three SUST faculty members have received awards from the National Outstanding Youth Fund and the New Century Talents. In recent years, SUST has been a part of more than 20 national projects, and more than 50 provincial and ministerial and bureau-level projects. Furthermore, SUST has written more than 300 academic and research essays in the field, in which over 60 are indexed by the SCI (Science Citation Index) and the EI (Engineering Index); more than 25 monographic textbooks have been published and 60 achievements have been practically applied, bringing in funding opportunities and prestige.
Leather Chemistry and Engineering
Closely related to the life sciences, a multidisciplinary and dynamic field at SUST, leather production (including fur manufacturing and its variety of functions and uses), research and development are key disciplines at SUST. Upon graduation, students are qualified in manufacturing management, technological design, scientific research, as well as technical supervision in exports.
Packaging Engineering
SUST was the first university in China to implement packaging engineering as a major at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. SUST was also the first to carry out research in CAD packaging and digital packaging. Equipped with flexible facilities and advanced testing center in Northwest China, SUST is acknowledged as the trusted and professional packaging brand in Shaanxi province and throughout the country.
