Introduction to the School of Materials and Metallurgical Engineering
School of Materials and Metallurgical Engineering (SMME) is affiliated to the Guizhou Institute of Technology (GIT), which established in 2013. The faculty of SMME is relatively young and well-structured, including 7 professors, 21 associated professors, respectively, namely the percentage of senior title is 82%, in addition, most of them graduated from well-known domestic and international universities, in addition to 74% of them owned a doctoral degree. And, there are 3 persons titled as 100- and 1000-level science and technology innovation talents in Guizhou province, excellent youth science and technology talent in Guizhou province, and 1 person awarded with Guizhou provincial youth science and technology award, respectively. The SMME offers three individual undergraduate majors, including material science and engineering, new energy materials and devices, and welding technology and engineering. Especially, the material science and engineering major is nominated as a provincial key discipline. The total number of students in school is 1015.
The SMME also founded several provincial scientific research platforms, which including a key laboratory of preparation technology for light metal materials, a 2011 collaborative innovation center for special functional materials, a talent base for green process industrial technology, a provincial science and technology innovation team for aviation light metal materials and welding technology. At the same time, the SMME also attaches great importance to school-enterprise collaboration, established a great relationship with many aviation enterprises and research institutes, especially in industrial-academic-research cooperation, which has greatly promoted the internship and employment of graduates.
Since the establishment of the SMME, it has undertaken more than 20 national and 60 provincial scientific research projects, the research funding reached about 20 million RMB, and has published more than 200 academic papers and 5 literary works. Under the support of those research projects, the undergraduates could participate in a variety of research, innovation and entrepreneurial activities. In 2017, there are 7 national innovation projects independently undertaken by students, in addition tomore than 95 other projects.
For the needs of economic and social development of Guizhou Province, the SMME plays an active role of “talent training, scientific research, service society, cultural inheritance and innovation”, in addition to serve the economic transformation and upgrading of Guizhou Province.
