The acoustics research at Tongji University began in the mid-1950s. The Institute of Acoustics (IOA) of Tongji University, which is one of the earliest institutions engaged in acoustics research in China, was formally established in 1984. The IOA has decades of experience in acoustics education, including offering a master's degree program for approximately 40 years, a Ph.D. program for 35 years, and a postgraduate program for 25 years. The IOA is one of the oldest acoustic research facilities in China with outstanding acoustics laboratories. Research at the IOA is performed in many areas of acoustics, which focus on detection acoustics and marine acoustics, laser ultrasonics and photoacoustics, medical ultrasonics and bioacoustics, architectural acoustics, environmental acoustics, noise control, functional and microstructural acoustic materials, aeroacoustics and aeronautical acoustics, and vehicle acoustics. This paper presents acoustics education at the undergraduate and graduate levels of Tongji University and its outstanding acoustics research facilities in detail.
