University Characteristic

The "study" in "work and study" mainly refers to the higher engineering education system with the fundamental task of the cultivation of innovative talents. The "work" mainly refers to the higher engineering education practice environment with the main body of economic construction, especially industrial development.
On the basis of inheriting the excellent school-running tradition of combining theory and practice, we strive to build an organic link between engineering education and economic construction, close integration of theoretical teaching and practical training, and the cultivation of high-quality innovative talents that promote mutual promotion of scientific research and personnel training. The system realizes the integration, interaction and unity of the two elements of “work” and “study” at a higher level and in a broader space.
“工学并举”中的“学”主要是指以创新人才培养为根本任务的高等工程教育体系,“工”主要是指以经济建设特别是以工业发展为主体的高等工程教育实践环境;“工学并举”就是在继承理论与实践相结合培养人才的优良办学传统基础上,努力构建工程教育与经济建设有机联系、理论教学与实践训练紧密结合、科学研究与人才培养相互促进的高素质创新人才培养体系,实现“工”与“学”两个要素在更高层次上和更广阔空间中的融合、互动与统一。
University Song

The school song adopts the style of soothing narrative. The calmness contains passion, two main songs and one chorus. In just two minutes, the school’s “dark night, Beiyangyu, industrial education is in jeopardy” The background of the school creation, the "iron hammer, the book, the sound of the book" and the school-running characteristics and the spirit of "diligence, carefulness, publicity, loyalty" are fully reflected.
工学并举薪火长(歌词)
作曲 : 邓保信
暗夜沉沉,北洋茫茫,实业教育挽危亡。
谨习理,笃工艺,津门首创工学堂。
尚发明,裨民生,民族工业图自强。
铁锤铛铛,书声琅琅,弦歌不辍续华章。
桃花灼灼,北辰煌煌,工学并举薪火长,薪火长。
燕赵莽莽,华夏泱泱,勤慎公忠筑理想。
勤治学,慎立身,为国储才树栋梁。
公对人,忠处事,天下兴亡我担当。
铁锤铛铛,书声琅琅,弦歌不辍续华章。
桃花灼灼,北辰煌煌,工学并举薪火长,薪火长。
工学并举薪火长,薪火长!
校歌采用了舒缓叙事的风格,沉稳中蕴含着激情,两段主歌、一段副歌,在短短的两分多钟的时间里,把学校的“暗夜沉沉、北洋莽莽、实业教育挽危亡”的创校背景、“铁锤铛铛、书声琅琅”的工学并举的办学特色以及“勤治学、慎立身、公对人、忠处事”的校训精神充分体现出来。
