The first-level subject site of Chemical Engineering and Technology was assessed by the expert group on-site on May 13. Professor Li Bogeng, the director of Engineering Faculty in ZheJiang University and one of discipline review group members of the State Council Academic Degree Committee, held the post of group leader, with seven members including Professor Wei Fei served as the director of Chemical Reaction Engineering Laboratory of Tsinghua University, Professor Chen Xiaochun, the vice president of the Institute of Chemical Engineering in Beijing University of Chemical Technology, Professor Guo Xinwen who is the deputy minister of Chemical and Environmental Life Department in Dalian University of Technology, Professor Zhang Zhengguo, the dean of School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering in South China University of Technology, Professor Luo Zhenghong, the associate dean of School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering in Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Professor Qi Wei who is the vice director of Faculty of Chemical Engineering in TianJin University, Professor Wang Weiwen, the vice president of Faculty of Chemical Engineering in Qingdao University of Science and Technology and the professor level senior engineer Zhang Xingong who is the chairman of Huicheng petrochemical company in Qingdao, Shandong Province.
Wang Ruihe, the vice headmaster, pointed on the review meeting that as the primary subject since the school was built, Chemical Engineering and Technology with an excellent subject background has been leading the development trend of petrochemical industry and the school has attached great importance to the development of this discipline. The conformity assessment of the first-level subject site is a new start for the subject development and the student training.
Professor Yang Chaohe, the dean of School of Chemical and Engineering, introduced the general situation and construction of the college in recent years. Meanwhile, Professor Liu Chenguang of School of Chemical and Engineering made an assessment report on degree authorization and disciplines authorized to offer doctoral degree from several aspects including basic situation, training objectives and standards, essential conditions, talent cultivation, the characteristics and advantages, problems and improvement of Chemical Engineering and Technology.
Taking the report seriously, the assessment experts checked related materials about academic degrees and postgraduate education in recent five years and discussed professional research direction, mentoring program, talent development and daily management with participants, doctoral and graduate representatives, tutor representatives and managers. The group also visited the State Key Laboratory of Heavy Oil and the Laboratory of Chemical Engineering and Technology and watched the first school tryout of Chem-E-Car organized by AIChE during the tea break.
The expert group conducted a comprehensive inspection on the level of Chemical Engineering and Technology discipline and talent training, reviewed and scored each assessment indicator, and spoke highly of degree in Chemical Engineering and Technology by considering the investigation. The degree authorization passed the conformity assessment with its clear training objective, sound training system, scientific, reasonable management system and the structure of faculty age, professional title and learning-origin, high academic level and scientific research and innovation ability. At the same time, the group also advised that the school must improve the build of faculty, the introduction and cultivation of outstanding young talents, the communication and cooperation among academics all over the world, and broaden the subject field further.
