In the past 70 years, WUT has fostered over 500,000 engineers and technicians, maintaining itself an enormous scale university under the direct administration of the Ministry of Education for nurturing talents oriented in the three industrial sectors: building materials industry, transportation industry, and automobile industry and retaining itself an essential base of nurturing high-level talents for the three industrial sectors as well as providing significant scientific and technological achievements. With the practice of long-term student's education, WUT has formed an educational ideology system with distinctive characteristics: focusing on the lofty ideal of building an excellent university to win worldwide recognition and admiration, the University has forged the spirit of "Sound in Morality, Broad in Learning and Pursuing Excellence," promoted the guiding principle of "take the students cultivation as our essence, and take academic development as our priority," and exercised the educational concept of "implementing excellent education, nurturing excellent talents and creating an excellent life."

We believe that with our faculty and students' joint efforts, together with the support from all the members of our community, WUT will strive to achieve great successes with unity, determination, dedication, and innovation. In this way, we will compose a new beautiful chapter in the history of the University, one in which WUT will be transformed into an open, multi-disciplinary, and research-oriented university with its distinct characteristics.
