Chemical engineering and technology

Shaanxi University of Science and Technology (SUST) is a key public multidisciplinary university in China. The university was founded in 1958 and has been devoting to excellence in teaching, learning, research on science, engineering and innovation with a strong partnership with industry. SUST cultivates students in all aspects to meet the requirements of today’s well-developed economic society based on its rigorous scientific research and strong engineering practice.

SUST consists of 16 colleges providing 70 bachelor’s degree programmes, 22 master’s degree programmes, and 11 doctoral degree programmes with an enrollment of over 19,000 undergraduates and 5,000 graduates.

I. Professional Core Positioning

This major focuses on "the industrialization of chemical processes", covering the entire process from raw materials to products: including the optimization of chemical reactions, the transmission and separation of materials, the design and scaling-up of equipment, and the control and optimization of production processes. The aim is to enhance production efficiency, reduce energy consumption, and minimize pollution through engineering techniques, achieving efficient, green, and safe operation of chemical production. The core logic is the transformation chain of "laboratory small-scale trial → pilot-scale amplification → industrial production".

II. Training Objectives

To cultivate high-quality engineering talents with solid knowledge of chemical engineering and technology, proficient in core capabilities such as process design, process optimization, equipment selection, and system integration, and capable of engaging in scientific research, technology development, engineering design, and production management in fields such as chemical engineering, energy, materials, medicine, and environmental protection. Specific requirements include: 

Master the basic principles of chemical reaction engineering, chemical thermodynamics, and transfer processes;

Have the ability to design chemical processes (such as reactor selection, separation process design) and perform equipment calculations (such as determining parameters of heat exchangers, distillation towers);

Be familiar with chemical process simulation software (such as Aspen Plus, COMSOL) and automation control technologies;

Understand the cutting-edge fields and industry standards in chemical safety, green chemistry, and process intensification.
