The training program for the Resource Recycling Science and Engineering major, Class of 2023

〇、Professional Introduction

The development of a circular economy is a significant strategic initiative in China's economic and social development. The Resource Recycling Science and Engineering major falls under the discipline of Chemical Engineering and Pharmacy. It is a new program approved by the Ministry of Education in 2010, aimed at meeting the demand for talent in transitioning from a linear economic growth model to a circular economic growth model in the country. Jiangsu Province is known as a "Chemical Industry Giant," and there is a pressing need for professional talent in the field of chemical resource recycling. This is essential to address pollution issues in the chemical and related industries and achieve green development in these sectors. Nanjing Tech University's Resource Recycling Science and Engineering program, aligned with the national "dual-carbon" strategy, leverages the strengths of the chemical engineering and technology discipline. It follows the educational philosophy of "broad-based, solid foundation, emphasis on capabilities, and pursuit of innovation" in talent development. This program is positioned to utilize principles, methods, technologies, and tools of chemical engineering to achieve resource recycling and clean production in industries such as chemical engineering and new energy. The educational approach emphasizes the priority of moral education, a student-centric approach, a focus on building capabilities, and comprehensive development. It places equal importance on theory and practical experience, strengthens interdisciplinary and integrated learning across fields such as chemical engineering, chemistry, environmental science, management, and economics. The program establishes a multi-level industry-academia-research talent cultivation model, aiming to produce highly qualified professionals with knowledge in chemical engineering, recycling engineering, and environmental science.
