History

• In the First Five-Year Plan the State Council decided to move electronics teaching inland, and on 30 March 1955 the Ministry of Higher Education proposed to Zhou Enlai that the telecommunications programmes of Jiaotong University, Nanjing Institute of Technology and South China Institute of Technology be merged into a radio engineering college in Chengdu, a plan approved on 5 July 1955.第一个五年计划期间，国务院决定将电子类高等教育向内地布局；1955 年 3 月 30 日高等教育部向周恩来报告，建议将交通大学、南京工学院、华南工学院的电信类专业合并，在成都建立无线电工程学院，该方案于同年 7 月 5 日获批。

• On 19 September 1955 the name of the projected institution was fixed as Chengdu Institute of Radio Engineering, and because Mao Zedong and Zhao Erlu did not inscribe the name, the calligraphy of Guo Moruo, president of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, was used instead.1955 年 9 月 19 日新建学院定名成都电讯工程学院；因未获毛泽东与赵尔陆题写校名，最终采用时为中国科学院院长的郭沫若的手迹。
