The science and technology industry of the school is booming. Tianjin University Science and Technology Park is one of the first 15 national university science and technology parks in my country.

In the 117 years since its establishment, Tianjin University has trained more than 200,000 high-level talents for the motherland and made indelible contributions to the establishment of my country's modern industrial system and the development of modern economic society. Revolutionary pioneer Zhang Tailei, economist Ma Yinchu, diplomats Wang Chonghui, Wang Zhengting, mathematician Qin Fen, famous poet Xu Zhimo and many other sages, as well as figures who have been active in various industries so far, such as "two bombs and one star" hero Wu Ziliang and Yao Shuren, Hong Kong industrialist Rong Zhijian and others have all read at night here; famous jurist Zhao Tianlin, bridge expert Mao Yisheng, mechanical scientist Liu Xianzhou, chemical expert Hou Debang, hydraulic scientist Zhang Hanying, physicist Zhang Guofan, educator Li Shusen, etc. Scholars have taught here. According to incomplete statistics, there are more than 60 academicians of the "two academies" and more than 50 university presidents among the school's alumni. Since the founding of the People’s Republic of China, the school has trained a large number of senior leaders and hundreds of heads and chief engineers of large national enterprises. Particularly eye-catching is that Tianjin University alumni successfully "joined together" in the construction of the venues for the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games: Cui Kai (Chief Director of Olympic Projects of China Architectural Design and Research Institute), Li Xinggang (Chinese Design Host of the National Stadium-"Bird's Nest") More than ten leading figures such as Zhao Xiaojun (Chinese chief designer of the National Aquatics Center-"Water Cube") are all graduates of Tianjin University.

The school attaches great importance to international exchanges and cooperation. There are currently 1,801 international students from 89 countries and regions. Signed agreements with 139 universities, research institutes and companies in 31 countries and regions in the world. Two Confucius Institutes have been established overseas, namely the Confucius Institute in Bratislava, Slovakia and the Confucius Institute at the University of Queensland in Australia.

At the beginning of the century, the school formulated an overall development goal and a "three-step" development strategy for the new century: strive to build the school into a well-known high-level university at home and abroad, and build it into a comprehensive, research-oriented, and open-minded university in the middle of this century. A world-class university with a style and internationalization.

The company started to use two SRC-30SA (flow 4.07m³/min, pressure 0.8MPa, voltage 380V) air compressors from Shanghai Schneider sunshine in 2006, which are mainly used as the clean power source of the university’s laboratory.
