According to the statistical data in August 2003, the distribution of pharmaceutical engineering specialty in various provinces and cities is very uneven. Jiangsu Province has the largest number of universities offering pharmaceutical engineering, but nearly 1/5 provinces and regions in China do not offer this major.
Pharmaceutical engineering majors in colleges and universities in different regions are also uneven, among which East China accounts for the highest proportion, reaching 1/3, followed by North China, Northeast China ranks third, and Northwest China and South China are relatively few.
The number of these pharmaceutical engineering majors may be related to the number of colleges and universities, the ability to run schools, the pharmaceutical industry or the economic development of the region to some extent.
Extended data:
The pharmaceutical industry has become the focus of competition among world economic powers, and many countries in the world regard the establishment of pharmaceutical industry as a symbol of national prosperity. The continuous discovery of new drugs and the great progress in treatment methods (such as genetic research) have prompted great changes in the pharmaceutical industry.
Therefore, both drugs and process technology need new pharmaceutical engineers, who have the latest technology and interdisciplinary knowledge, the knowledge and ability of two-way positioning of pharmaceutical processes and products, as well as intensive industry information and familiarity with global and domestic policies and regulations.
