Shanghai high-level local university construction pilot unit, executive director unit of China Intellectual Property Development Alliance, member of Shanghai-Hong Kong University Alliance and CDIO Engineering Education Alliance, was selected into the national "11plan", outstanding engineer education and training plan of Ministry of Education, and national new engineering research and practice project.

The school originated from Hujiang University founded by 1906 and German Medical College founded by 1907. In the early 1950s, the former Hujiang University and the former National Shanghai Higher Vocational College of Machinery (in the former site of German Medical College) were transformed into Shanghai Institute of Machinery (1994 renamed east china institute of technology) and Shanghai Institute of Machinery respectively, and the two universities merged to form Shanghai University of Science and Technology on 1996. 1998 The school was transferred from the former Ministry of Machinery Industry to Shanghai for management.
