School of Biological and Chemical Engineering
Introduction
The School of Biological and Chemical Engineering is one of the
first schools of discipline established at Zhejiang University
of Science and Technology. Presently, it has over 1300 full-time
undergraduate students. There are five departments and nine research
institutes.
The school has one provincial key discipline-applied chemistry,
and a key discipline at university level-food science.
The school now has 12 professors and 30 doctors and on-the-job
doctors. 10 teachers have overseas education experience in Germany,
Australia, Japan, Korea, Austria, etc. 20 teachers are from a
technical background as senior chief engineers and engineers in
enterprise. 20 guest professors come from well-known domestic
and foreign universities and enterprises.
The School of Biological and Chemical Engineering is membership
of the Chemical Academic Society of Zhejiang Province, and the
Food Academic Society of Zhejiang Province and the director unit
of the Food Industrial Association of Zhejiang Province and the
Food Additive Industrial Association of Zhejiang Province. It
is the location of the assistant director of the Biochemical Specialized
Committee of the Chemical Academic Society of Zhejiang Province
and the Technical Expert Committee of the Food Additive Industrial
Association of Zhejiang Province. It is also a member of the expert
team for the Significant Technical Attack Project of Zhejiang
Province Specializing in the Intensive Processing of Agricultural
Products and a member of the expert team for the Meat Product
Industrial Association of Zhejiang Province.

Scientific Research
(1)Activities of Scientific Research
The teachers in the School of Biological and Chemical Engineering
have well-developed skills doing scientific research. They have
taken on many teaching and research projects at the national,
provincial and departmental level and have undertaken many interdisciplinary
scientific research projects. Many teaching and scientific projects
have been awarded prizes at the provincial and departmental level
and the interdisciplinary scientific research projects have made
great progress. In the last three years, their faculty have undertaken
50 projects, including the transforming fund project at the National
Technical Department, the key scientific project for the National
Ministry of Education, the key state-level project of Star-Fire
Plan, the significant science and technology attack project for
Zhejiang province, the special project for the Governor Fund,
the significant competitive bidding project in Hangzhou, the key
science and technology project for Zhejiang province, the natural
sciences fund project for Zhejiang province, and the developmental
project for cooperative industrial production. The annual expenditure
of scientific research reaches 5,000,000 yuan. In recent years,
the published works and the compiled textbooks have amounted to
three. Over 10 projects have passed appraisal at the provincial
and departmental level. More than 10 projects were awarded the
following prizes: the second and the third prize of Science and
Technology Advancement in Zhejiang Province, the second prize
for Teaching Achievements in Zhejiang Province, the first prize
for Scientific Reseach Achievements of Universities in Zhejiang
Province, the second prize of Science and Technology Advancement
in Hangzhou. Altogether, there have been more than 200 scientific
research essays published in the last three years, among which
more than 50 can be retrieved from the international authorized
index system SCI, EI, ISTP.
