The Historical Evolution of the Department of Chemical Engineering and Biological Engineering of Zhejiang University
1927 In April, the Department of Chemical Engineering of Zhejiang University was established, becoming the first chemical engineering department in China; Mr. Li Shousheng was the first dean.

1928, graduated from the first chemical engineering major of Zhejiang University, and is the first batch of chemical engineering graduates in China.

1937 In September, influenced by War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, Zhejiang University started an eight-year "Long March of Literary Army", passing through Jiande, Zhejiang, Taihe, Guizhou, Yishan and Zunyi, and finally reached Meitan, Guizhou. After two and a half years, the Department of Chemical Engineering followed the school. In a very difficult period, the Department of Chemical Engineering gradually expanded.

194 1 year, with the approval of the Ministry of Education of the Republic of China at that time, the Department of Chemical Engineering of Zhejiang University established the School of Chemical Engineering, which became the first school of chemical engineering in China, officially enrolled graduate students, and became the first batch of graduate students majoring in chemical engineering enrolled in China. Li Zongheng became the first tutor in China to guide graduate students.

1952, national faculty adjustment, Zhejiang university retains four engineering courses, and the chemical engineering department has not changed much. In the same year, the specialty of fuel chemical engineering was established.

1953, chemical machinery specialty was established.

1956, chemical automation specialty was established.

1957, establishing plastic engineering specialty. The newly established chemistry department, the applied chemistry specialty and chemistry teaching and research group of the original chemical engineering department are included in the chemistry department accordingly.

1958, silicate specialty was established. Chemical combustion, chemistry and other majors increase the content of national defense.

1962 inorganic engineering to chemical engineering.

1970 set up a major in low temperature, and enrolled students 1974. 1978 set up the energy department together with the internal combustion engine specialty of the mechanical department and the thermal energy specialty of the electrical department.

1978, the cultural revolution ended, and the first batch of students resumed their enrollment after the college entrance examination. At that time, the department of chemical engineering had six majors: chemical engineering, petrochemical industry, polymer chemical industry, silicate, chemical machinery and chemical automation. In August, silicate specialty was drawn from the Department of Chemical Engineering. In the same year, it resumed enrolling postgraduates majoring in chemical engineering, chemical machinery and chemical engineering, becoming the first department in China with the right to confer master's degrees in chemical engineering.

65438-0980 The disciplines of chemical engineering, chemical automation and chemical machinery were approved by the Ministry of Education as the first batch of units with the right to confer doctoral degrees in China.

1986 set up environmental chemical engineering and biochemical engineering.

From 65438 to 0987, chemical engineering and chemical automation became the first batch of national key disciplines in China. The State has established the Joint State Key Laboratory of Chemical Engineering, and the Polymerization Engineering Laboratory is one of the four sub-rooms. The laboratory passed the national acceptance on 199 1 and was officially opened to the public. Approved the establishment of the State Key Laboratory of Industrial Automation of Zhejiang University.

1988, sinopec group invested13.99 million yuan to build a petrochemical building. China journal of chemical engineering of chinese universities, co-sponsored by eight national chemical engineering departments, was officially published, and the editorial department was located in the chemical engineering department of Zhejiang University.

1990, the State Planning Commission approved the establishment of "National Specialized Laboratory for Secondary Resource Chemical Engineering" in the Department of Chemical Engineering.

1In March, 1992, Zhejiang University established the Department of Polymer Science and Engineering, and the Polymer Chemistry Teaching and Research Section of the Department of Chemical Engineering became one of the three teaching and research sections established at that time. At the same time, the teaching and research section of chemical automation in the Department of Chemical Engineering has been transformed into an industrial control college, and postgraduate and undergraduate teaching is still concentrated in the Department of Chemical Engineering.

During the period of 1993, biochemistry was approved as a unit with the right to confer doctoral degrees, becoming the second unit in China with the right to confer doctoral degrees in biochemistry.

From 65438 to 0995, Sun Youxian was elected as an academician of China Academy of Engineering.

1996, "chemical engineering discipline group" was listed as the key discipline construction project of "2 1 1 engineering" in Zhejiang University.

From 65438 to 0997, Hou was elected as an academician of China Academy of Sciences. The Department of Chemical Engineering of Zhejiang University made a major structural adjustment and established the School of Chemical Engineering, which consists of the Department of Chemical Engineering, the Department of Biochemistry, the Department of Environmental Science and Engineering and the Department of Chemical Machinery.

1998 In May, the former Zhejiang University, Hangzhou University, Zhejiang Medical University and Zhejiang Agricultural University merged into the new Zhejiang University. In the same year, the Ministry of Education issued a new adjustment plan for undergraduate majors, and the Department of Chemical Engineering was adjusted accordingly, setting up four undergraduate majors, including chemical engineering and technology, bioengineering, pharmaceutical engineering and process equipment and control.

65438-0999, Zhejiang University adjusted its departments, and the former School of Chemical Engineering and the Department of Materials and Polymers were merged into the School of Materials and Chemical Engineering of Zhejiang University. The establishment of the School of Chemical Engineering was completely abolished, and the original departments of chemical engineering, biochemistry and chemical machinery were reorganized into the departments of chemical engineering and bioengineering. The former College of Chemical Engineering, Department of Environmental Science and Engineering, and other departments were formed into a new College of Environment and Resources.

In 2009, Zhejiang University adjusted its college (department) structure, canceled all the establishment of the College of Materials and Chemical Engineering, and the Department of Chemical Engineering and Biological Engineering was upgraded to a college-level department and began to operate.
