Xuzhou Institute of technology is located in the important city of "one belt and one road", a famous historical and cultural city in China, and the central city of Huaihai economic zone. Xuzhou, Jiangsu Province, is known as "the thoroughfare of five provinces". The school started in 1959 and was upgraded to a full-time general undergraduate college with the approval of the Ministry of Education in 2002. It is the executive vice-chairman unit of the National Alliance of Newly-built Undergraduate Colleges and Universities, which implements the National Outstanding Engineer Education Training Plan, the pilot University of the National Project of Integration of Industry and Education, and the National Alliance of Newly-built Undergraduate Colleges and Univers

The school covers an area of 1,990.5 mu, with 738,300 square meters of school buildings and 16 teaching units. Fifty-six undergraduate majors with 22,000 full-time students have been set up to form a school-running pattern with industry as the main subject and coordinated development of science, industry, agriculture, literature, economics, management, education, art and other disciplines. There are 1 444 faculty members, including 555 senior titles and 191 doctoral degrees. They have 136 people at or above the provincial level, including experts enjoying special allowances from the State Council, national model teachers, advanced individuals in the national education system and "experts with outstanding contributions" from Jiangsu Province. The school has consistently adhered to the locality and application orientation of running a school, and unswervingly implemented the new ideas of "big application view, big project view, big life view and big culture view" (referred to as "four big views"), so as to continuously improve the quality of personnel training and the contribution of service development.

Aiming at the problem that application-oriented colleges and universities are generally restricted by the narrow "application view", which leads to the disconnection between students'professional application ability and professional development needs, the school guides the educational and teaching reform with the "big application view", and realizes the effective connection between training specifications and industrial needs, teaching standards and industry standards. Twelve national-level teaching projects including national characteristic specialties, national engineering practice education centers, national international cooperative school-running projects, 22 provincial-level projects such as Jiangsu Brand Major, provincial key specialties (categories), provincial experimental teaching demonstration centers, 15 teaching achievement awards in Jiangsu Province, 24 provincial top-quality textbooks and 24 key textbooks, and one major recognized by international engineering education specialty. Certificate, two majors have passed the professional certification (evaluation) of the Ministry of Housing and Construction.

In view of the problem that application-oriented universities are constrained by narrow "engineering concept" and "professional concept" and neglect the comprehensiveness and systematicness of practical engineering, which leads to the mismatch between students'innovative ability and practical engineering needs, the University guides applied research and serves local areas with "big engineering concept" and promotes the infiltration and blending of disciplines and specialties. It has won 290 scientific research projects at or above the provincial and ministerial level, 95 achievement awards and 1 396 new authorized patents. It has five key construction disciplines and 21 provincial platforms such as provincial engineering laboratories, key laboratories and engineering technology research centers. The University Science and technology park has been selected as the incubator of state-level science and technology enterprises. The school has been appraised as an outstanding contributor to enriching people in science and technology in Jiangsu Province.

In view of the traditional vocational concept of "learning a major, mastering a technology and finding a job", neglecting the comprehensive and coordinated development of students, the school guides the students'overall and coordinated development with the "big life concept", and innovates and implements the project-based and operable "Five-one" project to improve the quality of college students in Colleges and universities throughout the country. Students were awarded 308 National and provincial innovative training programs, 591 national awards and 1 054 provincial and ministerial awards in various competitions, including the National Gold Prize for "Creating Youth" and the Special Prize for International Mathematical Modeling Competition. Five students were awarded the annual figures of Jiangsu university students and the youth model of campus. The school was elected president of the National College Student Bridge Association and vice chairman of the National College Student Dragon and Lion Dance Association.

In view of such problems as the lack of close integration of university culture with students'professional culture and spirit, the lack of infiltration and leading role of professional culture in students' growth, the University guides the construction of university culture with the concept of "big culture", initiates the construction system of professional culture in Applied Universities nationwide, builds 15 professional culture display platforms, and promotes the introduction of professional culture into classrooms, textbooks and minds. Enter life. Creating a series of main melody novels, such as Far East Letter and Wide Land, won the "Five-One" Project Award of Jiangsu Province and the Zijinshan Literature Award of Jiangsu Province. Literary creation is unique in Colleges and universities all over the country. The original drama "Wide Land" tours the province and has an important impact. Participated in the construction of local cultural brand and core spirit, was approved as the first research base of Jiangsu intangible cultural heritage in northern Jiangsu Province, and took the lead in opening libraries to the society in Xuzhou University.

Facing the future, the school will closely adhere to the fundamental task of Lide Shuren, accelerate the connotative development, strive to improve the level of running a school and the quality of personnel training, uphold rightness, make innovations, and strive for the early establishment of Xuzhou University, a first-class regional Applied Technology University with distinctive characteristics.
