Polymer Materials and Engineering was established and enrolled in 2001. It has two major directions: Applied Polymer and Polymer Material Molding. At present, the department has 17 full-time teachers, including 7 Professors and 14 teachers with doctoral degree. The Polymer Teaching Team is a provincial teaching team, and the department head won the title of National Excellent Teacher in 2019. The department has a provincial material experiment center and a provincial school-enterprise co- construct training center. In 2016, it was listed as a “Provincial Professional Comprehensive Reform Pilot” and in 2019 as a “Provincial First-Class Major”. The courses of “Polymer Chemistry”, “Polymer Rheology” and “Polymer Synthesis Technology” are listed as Provincial Excellent Open Courses. The department insists on promoting teaching with scientific research and strengthening the engineering ability of students. The relevant teaching reform achievements include 1 national second prize, 2 provincial special prizes and 2 first prizes.
