Development of Mineral Processing Engineering Education in China University of Mining and Technology

Abstract

Mineral processing plays a key role for preparing fuel or materials in coal industry, steel industry, and non-ferrous metals industry. Lack of energy resource and pollution has baffled the economy development of China. Research on mineral processing is giving more and more attention and Mineral processing engineering education has been given high priority in China. Taking the personnel training of coal processing and utilization as a background, the development of mineral processing engineering education in China University of Mining and Technology (CUMT) is introduced in this paper. The faculty group, laboratory and scientific research conditions of the discipline are presented. The personnel training scheme of the subject, the courses system, student criterion are also discussed, and how to cultivate excellent graduates in mineral processing engineering field to meet the demand of high education internationalization are discussed.
