TYUT focuses not only on educating students and improving the quality of scientific research, but also on the cultivation of students’ ability to innovate and compete. As Shanxi Province is currently undergoing a period of transformation, cooperation with relevant disciplines and specialties of VSB-TUO will help promote the industrial restructuring of Shanxi and serve local development.
