Civil Aviation University of China (CAUC), China's leading civil aviation

college based in the country's northern port city of Tianjin, will celebrate

its 70th founding anniversary on September 25.

Over the past 70 years, CAUC has developed into the main base and force of

China's civil aviation personnel training and scientific and technological

innovation. Known as the cradle of the country's civil aviation talents, the

university is also a scientific and technological research hub and a platform

for international cultural exchanges in the civil aviation field.

Co-established by the country's civil aviation watchdog, local government and

education ministry, CAUC now has more than 28,000 students, 75 aircraft for

flight teaching and training and 22 aircraft for aircraft maintenance practice.

The university is also a full member of ICAO TRAINAIR PLUS Programme. It

co-founded the Sino-European Institute of Aviation Engineering with Group des

Ecoles Aeronautiques et Spatiales (GEA), which has systematically introduced

the French engineer education model. In June 2016, it was rated as an excellent

project of Sino-French university cooperation by the two countries.

CAUC seeks to build a national strategic scientific and technological force,

highlighting scientific and technological innovation in aircraft safety and

airworthiness, airspace planning and operation safety, future airport and

intelligent equipment, general aviation and security, environment and

sustainable development of civil aviation.

Efforts are also being made to strengthen scientific and technological support

for the development of domestic large aircraft, engines and smart civil

aviation, make breakthroughs in the core technologies related with the

industry's development, and strive to develop technical standards in civil

aviation's key areas.
