Ordos Institute of Technology

Ordos Institute of Technology (OIT) is a full-time public undergraduate university jointly established by the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region and Ordos City, primarily managed by the city. Located in southwestern Inner Mongolia, OIT has two campuses—Kangbashi and Dongsheng—covering a total area of about 766,000 square meters.

As a model institution for the 'Internet + Education' initiative and a postdoctoral innovation practice base in Inner Mongolia, OIT focuses on applied technology education closely aligned with local industries. Its origins trace back to three predecessor colleges: Inner Mongolia University Ordos College (founded 2008), Inner Mongolia University of Technology Mining College (founded 2007), and Inner Mongolia Medical University Ordos College (founded 1959), which merged in 2015 to form OIT.

OIT's strengths lie in its unique disciplinary integration and applied orientation. Formed from the merger of engineering, mining, and medical institutions, it offers a balanced mix of programs with engineering as the core.

Flagship majors include Mining Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Nursing, and Computer Science, all tailored to Ordos's key industries like energy, chemicals, and healthcare, resulting in high graduate employability. The university is a designated 'Internet + Education' model school in Inner Mongolia, leading in digital teaching and industry-education integration.

Academically, OIT boasts a qualified faculty of 703 staff, including 475 full-time teachers, many with doctoral degrees or overseas experience. The curriculum emphasizes a 'theory + practice' model, with extensive lab and project-based courses co-developed with industry partners.

Research platforms include a postdoctoral innovation practice base, several provincial key labs, and engineering research centers focusing on new energy, smart equipment, and medical technology. The library holds 910,000 print books and 2.299 million e-books, supporting diverse learning needs.

The campus environment is pleasant with modern facilities. The two campuses total about 360,000 square meters of building space, including nearly 150,000 square meters for teaching and administration. Green landscapes surround well-equipped classrooms, labs, a library, and sports venues.

Student dormitories offer air conditioning, hot water, and internet access, while cafeterias serve a variety of cuisines. Teaching and research equipment is valued at 254 million yuan, including advanced engineering training centers, medical simulation labs, and computer rooms.
