University of Shanghai
USST is the amalgamation of "East China University of Technology" and "Shanghai Institute of Mechanical Technology". The former originated from "Shanghai Industry School", set up on the original campus of University of Shanghai, also known as "Hujiang University" ()(1906–1952) after the establishment of the People's Republic of China. The latter originated from "Deutsche Medizinschule", created in 1907. Between 1960 and 1994, the school was known as "Shanghai Institute of Mechanism" (上海機械學院).In May 1996, East China University of Technology and Shanghai Institute of Mechanical Technology were amalgamated and established as USST. Due to this historical heritage, the English name of the university begins with its predecessor (University of Shanghai) to show the origins of USST. Meanwhile, the university also includes Science and Technology to emphasise its major research strength. The University of Shanghai for Science and Technology today has become a key university in Shanghai.
