摘　　要：1932年,清华大学增设电机、机械两系,加上原有的土木系,一并组成工学院。一批海外留学归来的工科博士、硕士组成了最初的教授阵容,他们把致力于学术的理念融入到工学院初创时期的学科建设、研究活动以及学术共同体的组建等各方面。通过对清华大学工学院初创时期各方面史料的考察,可以看到:与以往那些依附于行业发展的工科教育相比,清华大学工学院进行的工科教育在继续技术的实用性价值的同时,带有了学术化的特征,由此近代工程技术向中国的移植和发展进入了一个新的阶段。In 1932,Tsinghua University set up its School of Engineering. A batch of doctors of engineering who had been studying abroad returned to China and formed the first faculty of the School of Engineering of Tsinghua University. They established a new system of curriculum for their students,and emphasized the importance of mastering the universal principle of engineering science. In addition, they resumed their research work begun abroad and some of their research work even constituted a part of the academic authority all over the world then. Their work geared the education of technology to the education of engineering in China, and the foundation of the School of Engineering of Tsinghua University might be looked upon as a new milestone in the process of transplanting technology from the West to China.
