In 1927, Lin went to Tangshan Imperial Railway College (now Southwest Jiaotong University) to study civil engineering. In 1931, he went to the Department of Civil Engineering at the University of California, Berkeley, and received a master degree in 1933. His master thesis "The Moment Distribution Method" (published in 1934) established his reputation worldwide since, and the research methods mentioned in the thesis were named as "Lin's Method." It was highly valued by the American Construction Community. |

Mao was a bridge engineering expert. He entered Tangshan Imperial Railway College (now Southwest Jiaotong University) and earned his bachelor's degree in civil engineering in 1916. He earned his master's degree from Cornell University and earned the first Ph.D. ever granted by the Carnegie Institute of Technology (now Carnegie Mellon University) in 1919. After returning home the same year, he served as a professor at Tangshan Jiaotong University. After 1933, Mao was elected as an academician of Academia Sinica and president of the Chinese Society of Engineers. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, he served as Dean of the Academy of Railway Sciences and Chairman of the China Civil Engineering Society. Mao was an important founder of bridge engineering in modern China. He had published more than 200 articles in Chinese and foreign newspapers and he mainly engaged in popular science work in the later period. In 1955, Mao was elected as a member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and served as the deputy director of the Department of Technology. In 1982 he was appointed as a foreign academician of the National Academy of Engineering(US). |

In 1949, Shen went to Tangshan Imperial Railway College (now Southwest Jiaotong University) to study. He went to the Soviet Union in 1957 to study vehicle repair at the Soviet Leningrad Railway Academy (now St. Petersburg State University of Transportation). Professor Shen’s greatest contribution is to chair the construction of the State Key Laboratory of Traction Power based on the research of wheel-rail relationship and to solve the problem of heavy load, high speed and safety. In 1997, the Rolling Test Bench for Locomotives and Rolling Stock of Southwest Jiaotong University won the "National Science and Technology Progress Award." The research team led by Professor Shen won the "National Teaching Achievement First Prize." In 1991, Shen was elected as a member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. In 1994, he was selected as the first academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering. |

In 1956, Qian went to Tangshan Imperial Railway College (now Southwest Jiaotong University). In 1988, Qian began to work in the State Key Laboratory of Traction Power. Qian once served as the Director of Southwestern Institute of Transportation Railway Electrification and Automation, Director of the State Key Laboratory of Traction Power, and Dean of the School of Electrical Engineering. In 1997 he was elected as an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering. |

Zhai obtained his bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering from Southwest Jiaotong University in 1985, and achieved his doctoral degree in locomotive and vehicle in 1992. He is the Chief Professor of Southwest Jiaotong University, Deputy Director of the State Key Laboratory of Traction Power. He is also the member of the sixth discipline evaluation committee of the State Council Academic Degrees Committee. Zhai has long been engaged in engineering vibration research, especially the theory and application of dynamics in railway engineering. He has created a theoretical system for the coupling of locomotives and vehicles and orbits. This system has been widely applied in engineering and has obtained first-class national scientific and technological progress. In 1999, Zhai was enrolled in the Chang Jiang Scholars Program distinguished professor. In December 2011, he was elected Academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. |
