Established in 1956, the School of Materials Science and Engineering
(school of MSE) is one of the most distinctive departments in Henan University
of Technology. After six decades developments following the school motto
“erudition, grace, diligence, practice ” , the school of MSE has taken the
leading position in nurturing graduates of majoring in material engineering,
especially in the fields of abrasives manufacturing and superhard materials
synthesis.
The school of MSE is a home of 72 faculty and staffs, including 17 professors, 28 associate professors, senior engineers and senior experimentalists.
We have 40 staffs entitled doctorates, and 10 have oversea education backgrounds.
24 of our staffs have been qualified for Master supervisor and 2 for doctoral
supervisor. Among our staffs, 1 is the winner of “the State Council Special
Government Subsidy”, 1 is awarded “Machinery Department of Youth Science and
Technology expert”, 1 is the winner in “Henan province innovation talent
engineering”, 3 staffs have been awarded “Henan province outstanding young
teachers” and 1 has been granted “Outstanding talent innovation fund of Henan
Province Education Office”.
Currently, the school of MSE offers 3 degree programs and 1 diploma
program, which are Materials Science and Engineering, Inorganic Materials and
Engineering, Polymer Materials and Engineering and Diploma of Materials Engineering
and Technology. Program of “Materials Science and Engineering” has been awarded
“Provincial level key discipline”. The school of MSE in Henan university of
Technology is the only department which offers the degree in the fields of
superhard materials and products and abrasive materials manufacture. The school
of MSE possesses many key laboratories, such as “Henan Provincial key
laboratory of high-temperature abrasive materials”, “Henan provincial key
discipline of Superhard Materials Laboratory”, “Superhard Materials and
products researching center of Henan”, “Clean-energy researching center of Zhengzhou (collaborated with Italy)” and “Zhengzhou Key
Laboratory of environmental friendly coatings”. The core of the school is a
suite of common, shared laboratories which provide essential services in
Spectroscopy, Microscopy, and Sample Preparation & Analysis. The total laboratory
area reaches over 16,000 m2, and the equipments worth over 12
million Yuan.
In recent years, the school of MSE has received over 12 grants from “the
National key S & T specific projects foundation”, “the National Nature
Science Foundation ” , “Henan Provincial key S & T specific projects
foundation” and “Henan Provincial Outstanding Talent Innovation Fund”. The
school of MSE has been responsible for 68 provincial and ministerial Science
and Technology Developing Projects and 76 enterprise collaboration projects.
Staffs of the school have published 18 books and over 350 peer reviewed journal
papers, of which 72 were indexed by SCI or EI.
The school has been communicating closely with the enterprise since its
establishment, and many technologies have been applied in over 30 companies,
such as Indian Shawa Superhard
Material Company, Luxin high Science and Technology Ltd., Changxing Superhard
Material Ltd. etc. and received significant economic benefit and social
benefit. The school possesses many technologies which are in the international
leading level, such as Low temperature ceramic adhesives diamond grinding wheel,
high temperature resistance adhesives, CBN grinding wheels, Flexible Waterproof
Abrasive Cloth etc. There are 8 technologies awarded “Provincial prize for
progress in Science and Technology ”.
The school has been collaborating closely with the enterprises since
its establishment and is one of the members to the board of Director of
National abrasives, superhard materials and coated abrasives industry. 7 of our
professors have been elected member of National Abrasives Standardization Technical
Committee, vice director of Coated Abrasives Standardization Technical Committee,
and vice chairman of Abrasives Industry Experts Union. Over the recently years,
the cooperation between the school of MSE and the enterprises have been
enhanced in many aspects, such as new technologies and new products
development, 25 related Chinese patents have been granted. Additionally,
cooperation agreements have been signed between the school of MSE and Zhengzhou
Research Institute for Abrasives & Grinding, Zhengzhou White Pigeon (group)
Co., Ltd.. Many industrial cooperators, such as Zhengzhou Yufa Abrasive
Materials Group Co., Ltd., MONTE-BIANCO Diamond Applications Co., Ltd., Guangdong
Chuanghui Industrial Co., Ltd., Guangdong Little Sun Abrasive Materials Co.,
Ltd. and Shengquan Group Co., Ltd., have established scholarships for
encouraging excellent students and teachers, the total amounts has reached 2
mollion Yuan. The “abrasive materials research and development center” of
Guangdong Little Sun Abrasive Materials Co., Ltd. and Guangdong Chuanghui
Industrial Co., Ltd. are both located in the school of MSE. We have also the “Superhard
Abrasive Materials Exhibition Center” of Shenzhen Changxing Technology Co.,
Ltd. settled in our school.
Graduates of the school of MSE are very well favored by the
employers. Students have been awarded in a number of national and provincial
challenges, such as the ＂Challenge Cup＂National Science and Technology College of extra-curricular academic
competition works. We have signed 24 internship agreements with the
enterprises, such as Henan Huanghe whirlwind Co., Ltd., Zhengzhou White Pigeon
(group) Co., Ltd., Zhengzhou Zhongnan JETE superhard Materials Co., Ltd.,
Zhengzhou Huajing superhard Materials Co., Ltd. Due to the excellent
performance of our graduates, our students are always in short supply, the
supply-demand ratio reaches 1:3.5.
The development of the school of MSE has been approved by the
community. We have been awarded “Advanced collective of Henan province
education system”, “Advanced party organizations of Henan province education department”,
“Advanced party organizations of Henan University of Technology”. A development
history of over 50 years of the school has brought up a fighting spirit of hard
