加州理工学院,全世界最优秀的研究型大学之一,其航空系举世闻名。从这个学校的航空专业出来的人,很少有人会想离开,改行从事其他领域的就更少了。中国航天事业的开创者钱学森是主动离开的第一人,他是加州理工航空系的第一个“Unique”(特例)。而从这里出来的,还有一位华人科学家叫冯元桢,他于1966年主动辞去了加州理工学院教授一职,并改行做生理学研究,开创了一个全新的研究领域——生物力学,在加州理工航空系的历史上,这是绝无仅有的,他成为了第二个“Unique”。 California Institute of Technology, one of the world’s best research universities, and its aviation department is world-renowned. Few people from the aeronautical school in this school will want to leave and even fewer will be diverted to other fields. Qian Xuansen, the pioneer of China’s space undertaking, is the first person to leave on his own initiative. He is the first “Unique ” of the California Department of Aeronautics and astronautics. And come out here, there is a Chinese scientist named Feng Yuanzhen, he voluntarily resigned from the California Institute of Technology professor in 1966, and diverted to doing physiology, creating a new research area - biomechanics, in California Polytechnic Aviation It is unique in the history of the department, he became the second “Unique ”.
