The biological engineering was a new comprehensive applied science. it was begun in the early 1970s. The research fields of BiologicalEngineering includes Fermentation Engineering, Cell Engineering, Genetic Engineering, Protein Engineering, Enzyme Engineering. Biological Engineering has a very broad prospect. Graduates could not only engageinbio-medicine,bio-chemical,light industry,food,energy, environmental protection, but also engage in commodity inspection, drug testing, customs, industry and commerce, taxation, government departments in the supervision, or engage in teaching and research work in universities and research institutes. Graduates can also choose to continue their studiesintheFermentation Engineering, Food Science, Pharmaceutical Engineering.
The introduction of Biological Engineering: Biological Engineering of Hebei University of Science and Technology is set up based onFermentation EngineeringofHebeiProvincekey disciplines andFermentation Engineering Technology Research CenterofHebei Province. Fermentation Engineering has a long history. It was foundedin 1981, received a master's degree-granting in 2000and approvedasakey disciplineofHebeiProvincein2009. Biological Engineering was formed ofthreestable researchdirection, enzymatictechnology,thefermentation engineeringoptimizationand process innovation, fermentationbrewingEngineering and Food.
Training objective and Main course: Training objective of Biological Engineeringis to trainthe talents which master in the scientific principlesand technologies ofbiological engineeringand have a strongengineering capabilitiesin engineering design, production management and new technologyand new productdevelopment. The main courses are organic chemistry, biochemistry, microbiology, chemical engineering principle, the principle of the fermentation process, biological material separation engineering, bio-reaction engineering, fermentation engineering and equipment, microbiology pharmaceutical technology and so on.
Teaching philosophy: Biological Engineering of Hebei University of Science and Technology highlights the new education concepts of "student-centered, comprehensive training, active practic, innovation and entrepreneurship". It established some the practice base outside schools, such as Hengshui Laobaigan, Shijiazhuang No.4 Pharmaceutical Factory, Shijiazhuang Golden Harvest Beer Co., Ltd., Shineway Pharmaceutical and so on. In the reform of education and teaching, it emphasises on cultivating students' innovative abilities, advocates the teachers to guide students to actively practice, and emphasises on theory with practice. Teaching contents not only focus on cross-disciplinary knowledge, but also highlight the case study teaching, training students to obtain the abilities of identifing problems, analyzing problems and solving problem.
Teachers situation: Biological Engineering has a strong teaching power, with more than two-thirds of teachers with associate professors and more than 70% of teacherswith doctorates. In the past three years, Biological Engineering had gotted two the National Natural Science Foundations, two Support Programs of Hebei Province and a number of Provincial Natural Science Foundations, the total project funding was 500 millions. In the discipline construction, Biological Engineering had achieved akey disciplinesinHebeiProvinceof fermentation engineering, two HebeiProvincial teaching achievementawards, sixexcellent teaching materials, five educational reformprojects and twoquality courses.
PubMed and employmentsituation: The employment situations of sessions graduatesare good. The employment businesses of graduates are much and wide, such asChina Pharmaceutical Group, Guangdong Strong GroupCo., Ltd.,TianjinDairy Queen, NanjingYURUN, CoalKen, Qilu Pharmaceutical, COFCOBiochemical Co., Ltd.(Hengshui), Food and Drug AdministrationZhuozhou City, Zhuozhou Cityhealth Bureau, the theLangfangQueenDairy Co., Ltd., Orion, The Role ofScience and Technology, Shanghaibiological EngineeringCo., Ltd., Beijing Yanshan PetrochemicalGroup, Hebeishallow water, cableTianjin, ZhejiangPharmaceutical, HengshuiLaobaigan, Baodingtasteswarm, Changyu wine, East SunshinePharmaceutical, Yili yogurtDivision, ShijiazhuangNo.4 Pharmaceutical Factory, ShinewayJinmailang, QinhuangdaoShichikuPharmaceutical Co., Ltd., and so on.
The pubMed schools of graduates have "985" or "211" colleges and universitiesand research institutes, such asTianjin University, Fudan University,South China University of Technology, East China University of Science and Technology, JiangnanUniversity, Shanghai Jiaotong University, NanjingUniversity of Technology, DalianUniversityofTechnology, Sichuan University, Nankai University, China Agricultural University, Institute of Biophysics, Shanghaihealth, Beijing Institute of Technology, southwestUniversity, JiangsuUniversity, Beijing Technology and BusinessUniversity, northwest Agriculture and ForestryUniversity of Science and Technology, YanshanUniversity, Dalian OceanUniversity, Capital Normal University, IOCAS, Changchun Institute of Biological Products, Tianjin Medical University, ShandongUniversityofScienceandTechnology, DalianUniversityofTechnology, Wuhan University, XiamenUniversity, Wuhan virus and so on.
