Introduction[edit]

Dalian University of Technology is located in Dalian, Liaoning, with an additional campus in Panjin. Founded in 1949, DUT is one of the top national universities in China, which is a highly focused science and engineering research and education institution. It is the first formal university established for the need for economic and cultural construction of a New China after the Chinese Civil War. The Chinese calligraphy on the latest logo of the university was written by Jiang Zemin former General Secretary of the Chinese Communist Party (1989-2002).

History[edit]

DUT's predecessor, Dalian University, was founded in 1949. In July 1950, Dalian University was split into the Dalian Institute of Technology (大连工学院) and the Dalian Medical College (nowadays Dalian Medical University).

In 2007, the Dalian Institute of Semiconductor Technology was jointly established by Intel, Dalian municipal government, and the Dalian University of Technology, and managed by the university. Intel donated an 8-inch chip-producing assembly line to DUT, with a total value of US$36 million.[15]
