Cultivation Scheme of Chemical Engineering Program 

1. Overview

The purpose of teaching in Chemical Engineering Program is to cultivate excellent scientific and technological talents that can solve the problems of energy, water resources, health, food and the manufacture of consumer goods such as plastics, polymers and paper, which are caused by man-made and natural causes, locally and worldwide. Chemical engineering research is represented by the chemical industry, as well as other process industries (e.g. petroleum refining industry, metallurgical industry, food industry, printing and dyeing industry, etc.) in the production process of chemical and physical processes of the general principles and laws, and the application of these laws to solve the process and device development, design, operation and optimization of the problem of engineering and technical disciplines. Chemical disciplines are used in a wide range of applications, including energy (oil and gas, power plants, renewable energy, solar energy, etc.), water treatment (desalination, wastewater treatment), polymers, microelectronics, nanotechnology, pharmaceutical and biotechnology, petrochemical products, safety, environmental quality, etc.

2. Cultivation Goal

This program aims to cultivate scientists, engineers, and technological talents capable of addressing global challenges over the next 50 years, aligning them with the needs of national economic and technological development. Graduates will possess a broad and solid foundation in theoretical knowledge, master the professional principles, specialized skills, and research methods of chemical production technology, and be capable of working as high-quality technical professionals and engineers in areas such as product development, equipment design, production process control, and enterprise management within the process industries. Outstanding graduates will have a strong disciplinary foundation to pursue further studies and engage in world-class scientific research at research institutions. They will also be equipped to become top-tier chemical engineers, participating in processes from initial design to final product realization. Career opportunities include technical development in industries such as energy, environment, materials, semiconductor manufacturing, biomedicine, and food, as well as roles in engineering design departments or government regulatory agencies.

3. Total Credits for Graduation

The total credits of the four-year undergraduate program are 158, including 2 credits of physical education courses. Students are also required to complete the credits in ideological and political theory courses as stipulated by the Ministry of Education of China and meet the passing assessment standards. The teaching includes theoretical teaching as well as practical teaching.

4. Study Years

4 years, students will be awarded the bachelor degree in Chemical Engineering of GTIIT, and the bachelor degree in Chemical Engineering from the Technion.
