80 years education of aerospace science and technology in Tsinghua University

The development of aerospace science and technology largely relies on the education and academic contribution of students in universities covering aerospace science and technology. The School of Aerospace Engineering of Tsinghua University, with a history of eighty years since the set-up of its Department of Aeronautical Engineering in 1938, graduated 5273 undergraduate students, 1939 master students and 931 Ph.D. students. This paper provides an overview and analysis of the data related to undergraduate, master and Ph.D. students of this school. These data include the historical evolution of number of students and the actual status of students like their various interests and academic performance. The data and information shared in this paper may be useful for comparative study and for those who need primitive data to study relevant issues such as mental health of students, promotion of gender balance and educational improvement.
