College of Chemical Engineering at China University of Petroleum

College of Chemical Engineering is one of leading organizationswith longest history in China University of Petroleum for education, scientific research and social services. The history can be dated back to the Department of Refining in Beijing Petroleum Institute, established in 1953. A good tradition and work style stated as “hard struggle, consolidation and concrete matters, being rigorous and truth-seeking, caring students and emphasis on teaching” formed in the years of school-running practice of college. After development of more than half a century, the college has developed into a teaching and research college, which is characterized by distinctive petrochemical feature, combining the Science with Engineering, and coordinated development through interdisciplinary efforts.
