Ⅰ.Overview
1.Programme description
The Advanced Innovation Center for Soft Matter Science and Engineering focuses on soft matter systems as its research subject. By applying multidisciplinary integration spanning chemistry, chemical engineering, materials, biology, and environment, it addresses critical scientific and technological challenges in energy, environment, and life science fields. The Program adopts an integrated science-engineering approach for talent cultivation, offering five primary academic tracks: Chemical Engineering and Technology, Materials Science and Engineering, Chemistry, Environmental Science and Engineering, and Bioengineering.
The discipline of Chemical Engineering and Technology achieved significant milestones: it was granted the authority to award the Master of Engineering degree in Chemical Engineering in 1981 and the Ph.D degree in Chemical Engineering in 1984, established a postdoctoral research station in Chemical Engineering and Technology in 1988, and gained the authority to award Ph.D degree in the primary discipline of Chemical Engineering and Technology in 2000. The Chemical Engineering discipline was designated as a national key discipline in 2001, and the Chemical Engineering and Technology discipline was recognized as one of the first batch of national key primary disciplines in 2007. In 2022, the discipline of Chemical Engineering and Technology was selected for China's "Double First-Class" University Project as a national key construction discipline.
