The Chemical Engineering and Technology discipline at Tianjin University has a profound history. Back in the 1920s, Tianjin University, formerly known as Peiyang University, set up the Industrial Chemistry Lecture Hall. Following the nationwide restructuring of institutes in 1952, the schools of chemistry from seven universities were merged into the School of Chemical Engineering and Technology at Tianjin University.
The Chemical Engineering and Technology discipline at Tianjin University was one of the first disciplines to be recognized as first-level state key disciplines and "double first-class" construction project disciplines. It has ranked first in the national first-level disciplinary assessment five consecutive times and has passed the highest level of professional accreditation by IChemE three times. For six consecutive times it has won the first prize of the National Teaching Achievement Award, an accomplishment no other discipline in the country has achieved. In the 2024 QS World University Rankings by Subject and ShanghaiRanking's Global Ranking of Academic Subjects, the Chemical Engineering and Technology discipline at Tianjin University ranked 28th and 2nd respectively.
The discipline adheres to the development philosophy of “abiding by first-class standards, cultivating first-class talents, earning first-class achievements, and making first-class contributions.” Through the efforts contributed by several generations, we are able to continuously bring together top-tier faculty, nurture their development, promote the development of the chemical engineering industry, as well as reforms in higher education for chemical engineering, and cultivate chemical engineering talent for the future.
1. Cultivate first-class talents for the future of chemical engineering
Based on the principle of fostering moral integrity, we focus on shaping students' national sentiment, global vision, innovative spirit, and practical ability in order to realize the all-round development of morality, intelligence, physical fitness, and aesthetics in our students. We acted as the lead institute to unite with our sister colleges and universities and have won the first prize of the National Teaching Achievement Award six consecutive times. In addition, we take the lead in the development of Emerging Engineering Education in Chemical Engineering, and have formed a new model for the cultivation of "top-notch innovative talents in chemical industry in the new era". Together with other organizations, we started the AIChE Chem-E-Car Competition for Chinese College Students, and the Tianjin University Student Chapter has received the AIChE Global Outstanding Student Chapter Award four consecutive times. Our students have also had great success in national competitions such as the “Challenge Cup” and the China College Students' “Internet+” Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition.
2. Adhere to the "Four Facings" and accelerate scientific and technological innovation
The Chemical Engineering and Technology discipline at Tianjin University is in the leading place in the field of mass transfer and separation in China, especially in distillation and crystallization technology. We also have significant advantage in cutting-edge fields of chemical engineering, such as Synthetic Biology, Green Chemical Processes and Product Engineering, Novel Catalyst Materials and Reaction Engineering, and Efficient and Clean Conversion and Utilization of Energy and Resources. We developed 11 national research bases and four national teaching bases, including the National Collaborative Innovation Centre of Chemical Science and Engineering (Tianjin), which we cofounded with Nankai University and was recognized as one of the first 14 “2011 Collaborative Innovation Centers,” and the Synthetic Biology Frontier Science Center, which was one of the first seven frontier science centers developed under the Ministry of Education’s “Everest Project.” In around the past five years, we have led 31 key national R&D projects and won the State Science and Technology Award twice. We have won the provincial and ministerial science and technology grand prize and first prize twice and 16 times respectively, and received more than 50 prizes from the industry associations. The research results of synthetic biology were selected as one of the Top Ten Advances in Chinese Science in 2017, and the “Great Changes: Celebrating the 40th Anniversary of Reform and Opening Up” exhibition.
3. Deepen international cooperation and broaden development landscape
The Chemical Engineering and Technology discipline at Tianjin University has passed the highest level of professional accreditation by IChemE, making it the first discipline in China’s chemical industry to pass international professional accreditation. The chairpersons of IChemE praised the School of Chemical Engineering and Technology at Tianjin University for "driving the reform of chemical education in China and being one of the best chemical engineering disciplines in the world." To better serve the “Belt and Road” Initiative, we actively explore and promote the enrollment and training of foreign students. We have enrolled nearly 500 international students from 57 countries on six continents and have formed a cultivating mode with distinctive international characteristics. In around the past five years, we have established cooperation with renowned universities such as the University of Edinburgh and Georgia Institute of Technology, as well as major international companies such as Clariant Chemicals and AstraZeneca, signed more than 20 university- and school-level international cooperation agreements, and established 12 international joint bases or centers.
