To further strengthen the education on university history for the 2024 new students, foster their sense of affection and honor for the university, and help them gain a more intuitive understanding of the "Chief Engineer Culture for Talent Cultivation", on the afternoon of September 27, the School of Management organized all 2024 undergraduate students to visit and study at the NPU University History Museum.

The University History Museum carries the brilliant memories of NPU’s 86 years of development and preserves a vast amount of precious materials and photographs. Every exhibit in the museum embodies profound history, like whispers of time, telling students the precious moments and touching stories of countless scholars who explored knowledge and strived relentlessly here.

Led by the commentator, students felt as if they were traveling through the eventful years of the university’s development, gaining a deep understanding of the spirit of "Publicity, Integrity, Courage and Perseverance; Practicality, Reality, Truth and Innovation". Students stopped frequently in front of those old photos, their minds drawn back to those passionate years, savoring the profundity and depth of the university’s history and culture.

After the visit, many students said that the tour had not only deepened their understanding of the university, but also greatly inspired their infinite expectations and yearnings for their future studies. It is hoped that every member of NPU will bravely pursue their dreams and write their own brilliant chapters! It is expected that in the days to come, students will add more splendid colors to the university’s glory with concrete actions!

Student Reflections
Zhang Xinyi:
A warm university, a profound journey. Emerging from the flames of the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, NPU has nurtured countless industry elites. Today, we must carry forward the vision and high standards of our predecessors, who pursued excellence and committed themselves to the nation. With interdisciplinary integration, remarkable achievements and strong faculty, we are inheriting the legacy of our forefathers and opening a new chapter for the future. A world-class NPU, a leader in aviation, aerospace and maritime industries — this is our aspiration and will become our hallmark.
Feng Zerui:
Following the radiance of chief engineers, we set sail again. Through this visit to the University History Museum, I witnessed NPU’s extraordinary journey. Teachers and students rose from hardships, kept learning unremittingly, and cultivated generations of talents, devoting their youth and wisdom to the land and to the future. The glory of NPU was built by you, and we will surely carry forward the mission and create new brilliance.
