They have strong adaptability to different professional work in a wide range of engineering fields. The outstanding professional ability makes them welcomed by the enterprises and institutions in chemical industry and related industries.
Educational Objectives
The major aims to cultivate outstanding professionals in chemical engineering and related engineering fields. It places equal importance to knowledge, ability and quality cultivation. Theoretically, it is emphasized that students should have a solid mastery of theories and knowledge in math, physics and chemistry, computers, engineering machinery and other professional foundations in chemical engineering and technology. Practically, this program emphasizes the development of practical skills and engineering capabilities, including lifelong learning, self-development, independent work, problem-solving, engineering design, engineering development, scientific research, and organizational management. In terms of comprehensive quality, Chemical Engineering and Technology emphasizes that chemical professionals should be of comprehensive excellence, including outstanding ideological, cultural, psychological and professional qualities.
The CHE major of ECUST strives to empower the students after 5 years since graduation:
(1) Work successfully in diverse careers i.e. industrial practices, academia, and research.
(2) Understand the larger context of the problems faced during their career.
(3) Through their professional accomplishments, enhance the reputation of ECUST.
