In 1935, Professor Deng Wei developed China's first piston-type aircraft engine in Beiyang University Aviation Laboratory. With the approval of the National Government, Beiyang University established the Department of Aeronautics. In 1952, adjustments were made throughout the country, and the internal combustion engine professional was officially established at Tianjin University. In the same year, it began recruiting undergraduate students. It was one of the earliest established internal combustion engine specialties and created a new pattern of professional higher education for internal combustion engines in China. During this period, Tianjin University revised its internal combustion engine professional teaching program, and organized and compiled China's own internal combustion engine professional teaching materials. Since its establishment 60 years ago, it has trained nearly 4,000 undergraduates, more than 900 postgraduates, and more than 200 doctoral graduates. Tianda Internal Combustion Engine has become the first batch of doctoral programs, post-doctoral mobile stations, and first national key disciplines in teaching and scientific research. It has been a national key discipline in all key discipline evaluations.
