The training program for the Chemical Engineering and Technology major, Class of 2023

〇、Professional Introduction

Chemical engineering is a broad and highly adaptable interdisciplinary field of process engineering. It is one of the engineering disciplines closely related to advanced technology and high innovation.Chemical Engineering and Technology is a discipline that studies the general principles and laws related to chemical and physical processes in various industrial productions, with chemical industry as a representative. It applies these principles and laws to solve problems in the development, design, operation, and optimization of processes and equipment.It encompasses fields such as chemical engineering, chemical processes, biotechnology, applied chemistry, and industrial catalysis. This discipline balances both fundamental and applied aspects, including fundamental theory, basic methods, and fundamental experimental techniques, as well as process development, process design, system simulation and optimization, operation control, and product development. It serves as the technical foundation, core strength, and driving force for achieving the green and intelligent upgrading of the chemical industry.

The major of Chemical Engineering and Technology is one of the key disciplines at Nanjing Tech University, with a history of nearly a century. It originated from the Department of Industrial Chemistry at Jinling University in 1921 and the Chemical Engineering Department at the Fourth Zhongshan University in 1927. Dr. Shi Jun, one of the pioneers of chemical engineering in China, was one of the founders of this discipline. The program has produced a large number of outstanding scientists, engineers, and management professionals, including 19 academicians from the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Engineering.This program is based on the discipline of Chemical Engineering and Technology, which was recognized as one of the first national key disciplines in 2007. It achieved an A-level ranking in the fourth round of discipline assessment conducted by the Ministry of Education.The program boasts several notable achievements and resources, including:A doctoral program in the first-level discipline of Chemical Engineering and Technology.A national first-class undergraduate program.A nationally recognized specialty in Chemical Engineering and Technology.A national-level experimental teaching demonstration center.National virtual simulation experimental teaching projects.Nationally recognized top-tier courses and ideological and political education demonstration courses.National excellent courses in Chemical Engineering Principles and Chemical Thermodynamics.A National Key Laboratory in Materials Chemical Engineering.A National Engineering Research Center for Special Separation Membranes.

This program has established a distinctive talent cultivation system based on the three-link integration of "curriculum chain - talent chain - industry chain." It also ranks among the top in the country in terms of undergraduate enrollment and education scale.This program has 1 national-level outstanding teaching team, 1 national-level teaching team following the spirit of Huang Da Nian (an influential educator), 1 national-level experimental teaching demonstration center, 2 national-level engineering practice education centers, and 1 national-level university student practical teaching base. It has received 3 national-level first and second prizes for teaching achievements and 2 special prizes for teaching achievements in Jiangsu Province.
