College of Chemical Engineering has a long history of more than 60 years, and the college has got good achievement in discipline construction, major construction, faculty team, scientific research.
“Chemical Engineering & Technology” first-level discipline has been set as leading discipline when SYUCT is founded in 1952, and the discipline belongs to “key discipline” of Ministry of Chemical Industry originally, then it becomes the first class characteristic discipline in Liaoning Province after it was put under local administration in 1998. The discipline was listed in “first class characteristic discipline in Liaoning Province” construction planning in January, 2017. Under “Chemical Engineering & Technology” first-level discipline bachelor's degree granting authority, there are three second-level discipline bachelor's degree granting authority, including chemical engineering, chemical technology, and industry catalysis.
There are four majors for undergraduate students in college of chemical engineering, chemical engineering and technology, energy chemical engineering, forest product chemical engineering, and resource science and Engineering. The chemical engineering and technology is the “brand” major in the university, it ranks first in the same majors belong to Liaoning Province, and it is also the first major in the university passed the engineering education accreditation in China (2013), and get an excellent grade in the engineering education accreditation in China (2016). Furthermore, the major of chemical engineering and technology is also the pilot program of Ministry of Education for excellent engineers, talent development mode reforming pilot program, characteristic major construction program, international course program in Liaoning Province for undergraduate students. Energy chemical engineering, forest product chemical engineering, and resource science and Engineering are established for constructing “chemical engineering group”, and they have passed the assess of new established specialty of Liaoning ordinary high school.
There are 55 faculties in college of chemical engineering, including 40 teachers, 7 engineers and lab assistants, 8 executives. For 40 teachers, there are 11 professors, 19 associate professors, 10 lecturers, and 34 teachers have got Ph.D degree (85%). In addition, there are 2 teachers won honour of “ distinguished teacher”, 4 teachers won honour of “ distinguished professor”, 16 teachers were put in “Talents project”.
The college of chemical engineering has established a Virtual Simulation Experimental Teaching Demonstration Center of China and four key laboratories of Liaoning Province. In addition, there is a chemical engineering practice center (more than 2700 m2). Teachers undertake more than 400 items research projects supported by Ministry of science and technology, National Natural Science Foundation of China, and Liaoning province, etc. More than 1000 publications have been index in SCi, Ei, ESI, ISTP, and many research results have been transformed into industry production. There are many research results have been assign gained Ministry of science and Technology Award from China. More than 7500 undergraduate students have been graduated from College of Chemical Engineering and gained good social reputation.
