Brief introduction of bioengineering college of Hubei University of Technology

The College of Bioengineering has two first-class master programs in light industry technology and engineering, food science and engineering, one master program in biochemistry and three master programs in engineering. Fermentation engineering is the dominant discipline in Hubei province, and food science is the key discipline in Hubei province. There are five undergraduate majors: bioengineering, food science and engineering, pharmaceutical engineering, biotechnology and bioscience, among which bioengineering is a brand major in Hubei Province. At present, there are more than 700 full-time college students and graduate students in general education 1700.

Fermentation engineering discipline is the first batch of key disciplines in Hubei Province, and it is considered to be in the leading position in Central China through the acceptance and evaluation of domestic experts. The college also has five provincial-level R&D platforms: Key Laboratory of Fermentation Engineering of the Ministry of Education, Key Laboratory of Industrial Microbiology of Hubei Province, Research Center of Food Fermentation Engineering Technology of Hubei Province, R&D and Promotion Center of Small and Medium-sized Enterprises of Food and Microbiology of Hubei Province, and Fermentation Engineering Laboratory of Hubei Province.

At present, it has jointly trained doctoral students with Northern Illinois University, University of Wales, University of Hong Kong, Wuhan Institute of Virology, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Wuhan University and Huazhong Agricultural University. The College has been taking team building as the leading discipline construction, and has now formed a stable research team on biomass energy, microbial hydrocolloids, modern transformation of traditional fermented products, metabolic regulation in fermentation process, modern agricultural processing technology and pharmaceutical preparations.

The College of Bioengineering has a teaching and research building of 7,000 ㎡, with bioenergy research institute, Phillips Hydrophilic Colloid Research Center of Hubei University of Technology, bioengineering research institute and drug and preparation research institute, equipped with imported high-end analytical instruments and bioreactors, with a total value of more than 35 million yuan. College and Guangji Pharmaceutical, Angel Yeast, Zhijiang Liquor, Daohuaxiang Liquor, Bai Yunbian Liquor, Shandong Weifang Shengtai Pharmaceutical, Henan then * * * several enterprises to build a teaching and research and student employment base.

According to the characteristics and development needs of existing disciplines, the School of Bioengineering has determined the development idea of "adjustment, development and breakthrough", focusing on three fields: fermentation engineering, food science and pharmaceutical engineering. The College of Biological Engineering has strong scientific research strength. Since 2008, it has undertaken 12 national projects and 65 provincial projects, and obtained 16 invention patents. More than 90 papers have been included in the three major searches, and 8 scientific research projects have won the Hubei Science and Technology Progress Award.

With the support of competent departments and experts at all levels, after years of construction and development, the School of Bioengineering has shown a good development trend and its core competitiveness has been continuously enhanced.
