History
Chang’an University was merged by the former Xi’an Highway University, Xi’an Engineering Institute, Northwest Institute of Construction Engineering on April 18th, 2000. Thus, the course of development of Chang’an University reflects the history and development of its three predecessors.
In 1951, shortly after the foundation of the People’s Republic of China, so many things were awaited to be undertaken. A number of pioneers of the New China, with the ideal of “no obstruction of traffic and smooth flow of goods”, founded the Northwest Communications College on a piece of wasteland in the suburb of Lanzhou, which laid the first footstone of Chang’an University.
In 1953, Xi’an Geology School, which was directly under the administration of Ministry of Geology of the Central People’s Government (CPG), and Xi’an Construction Engineering College which is under the administration of Ministry of Construction were founded successively. In 1952, Northwest Communications College moved eastward to Xi’an and was renamed Xi’an Highway Institute. In 1955, it was renamed again as Ministry of Communications Xi’an Auto Mechanics Institute. In 1958, the Republic met the first Socialist Construction boom, and the government transferred teachers and equipments of Beijing Highway Institute’s Preparatory Committee to Xi’an, and founded Xi’an Highway Institute on the basis of Ministry of Communications Xi’an Auto Mechanics Institute. Xi’an Highway Institute became the first institution of higher education in Asian which specialized in training professionals in highway transportation. It can be seen as the first milestone in the history of the university.
