Chemical Engineering and Technology
Discipline code: 081700
Discipline name: Chemical Engineering and Technology
1. Overview of the discipline
Chemical Engineering and Technology is the first class discipline in engineering category, which places emphasis on the research of common laws of chemistry, physics and biochemical process and the engineering application technology in chemical industry and other industrial process. It is guided by chemical engineering discipline, and the basic theory is combined with engineering applications. It also involves product development, process development, process design, system simulation, equipment intensification, operating management, environment protection, production management, etc., which is an important engineering field to the national economic construction and society development, and interpenetrated with information, biology, materials, computer, resource, energy, ocean, spaceflight and some other advanced technology fields to promote the development of advanced technology.
The Chemical Engineering and Technology discipline in our department was established in 1953, and has developed to the national key discipline from the former second class discipline-Chemical Technology after 60 years’ development, and Industrial Catalysis has become the national key cultivating discipline. This first class discipline is the Beijing key discipline. The discipline has one national key laboratory, two key laboratories of Ministry of Education, one Ministerial key laboratory and one trans-department of combined Applied Chemistry and Chemical Engineering research institution. The department is equipped with outstanding faculties, which includes 41 professors (4 NationalCrackerjack Young Person, 1 Cheung Kong Scholars, 2 “973” chief scientists), and 32 associate professors. The scientific atmosphere of this discipline is very active and aims at the national energy, especially for the significant demand of petroleum and petrochemical field. The discipline has made major contribution to the scientific and technological progress of our country, obtained 1 National Natural Science Award, 3 second prize ofNationalScientific and TechnologicalProgressAwards, 3 Provincial and Ministerial-levelNatural Science Awards and over 50 Provincial and Ministerial-level Advancement Awards. The discipline has educated over 430 PhD students and over 2000 Master students.
2. Education Objectives
The education objective of the master program is to cultivate the students to be patriotic, law-abiding, enterprising and dedicated, healthy, equipped with good cultural awareness and comprehensive quality, and be willing to serve the construction of socialist modernization. Students are required to have solid theoretical basis, master systematic professional knowledge, correctly utilize theoretical knowledge to solve the chemical process concerned theory and practical engineering problems, and to independently shoulder the task of technology development of chemical process or project management. It also requests the students to be familiar with the status and development trend of chemical engineering area, to have the comprehensive ability to do scientific research and the work in technology-related field, and to have the potential of continuing study, innovation and improvement. The education also aims to develop the strong foreign language ability of the students, which includes skillfully reading the literatures in one main language, good listening and speaking ability, and meeting the basic requirement of proceeding International academic communication.

6. Thesis
1) Thesis proposal
Before the thesis proposal, each graduate student should at least read 50 literatures related to his/her research, which includes at least 15 foreign literatures, and then write a literature review report. The literature review report is evaluated by the board examiners during the thesis proposal.
A submission of literature review and thesis proposal should be completed at the third semester before December. Each graduate student should write a literature review and a thesis proposal, at the meantime, the student is required to complete the study of specialized English combined with the reading of literatures, and translate at least two foreign science and technology materials into Chinese (the translation should be faithful and smooth); Students who do science and production research should write a investigation report. Evaluation of the thesis proposal takes place in an oral examination at which the candidate defends his/her thesis. Thesis proposal should include the background meaning and the basis of the topic selection, domestic and overseas relevant current studies and developing trend, research objects and contents, technological methods planed to adopt and feasibility analysis, anticipated key technology and difficulty, detailed research schedule and main bibliographies, etc. The chief supervisor shall also remark the literature review and the thesis proposal according to the circumstances.

7. Mid-term examination and distribution
Chemical engineering and technology discipline shall conduct a mid-term examination at the end of the fourth semester, which mainly intend to examine the courses study and thesis work of the students. The thesis work shall be terminated and the student shall be distributed in the following cases:
(1) Fail 3 courses (or over 3 courses) in one semester.
(2) Fail one course, and fail to pass the retaking course.
(3) Work negatively, and no improvement after education.
(4) No participation in thesis research work for two consecutive weeks with no reason.
(5) Failure to accomplish Master’s thesis for other reason.
Main assessment method for the students is the examination of their academic records, which is mainly charged by the graduate teaching secretary, for the student who meets (1) or (2), he/she shall apply for school leaving according to the school regulations. For the student who meets (3) or (4), the lab shall give a record working by supervisor, and then report the written material to the school authorities after group discussion by Joint Conference of Party and Government Affairs of Department.
8. Demand of practice
(1) Master degree students are required to attend more than 10 academic reports during the study period. The supervisor is responsible for the evaluation of the academic activities, after passing the evaluation, the assessment materials shall be handed over to the graduate secretary and the grade shall be recorded. Academic activities must be finished before the Master thesis oral defence.
(2) Master degree students shall participate in the graduation project of the undergraduate students or offer guidance to their graduation thesis.
9. Others
Interdisciplinary students or students with equivalent qualifications must enroll in 2 undergraduate major compulsory courses. Students are advised to contact their supervisor for further details and instructions. Students who don’t take the courses or fail the courses cannot participate their Master thesis oral defense. If this regulation conflicts with the superior regulation, then it shall be conducted in accordance with the superior regulation.
