“Principles of Chemical Engineering” is a core course to the students whose majors are Chemical Engineering and related. It is a comprehensive class based on mathematics, physics, chemistry, and computer programming, by which the students can analyze and solve the engineering problems in chemical processes. The class starts with the basic principles of chemical engineering and gradually extend to their practical applications, during which helps the students to build stable knowledge systems of chemical engineering and technology, master solid skills of unit operations, and get access to the creative solutions to the real engineering problems, aiming for the primary education target of professional engineers with qualities of scholarship, leadership, and character. This class was awarded as University-Level Outstanding Class, Provincial Outstanding Class, Provincial Outstanding Open Class and Provincial Outstanding Resource-Sharing Class in 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2014, respectively, which has established a multi-dimensional teaching system that combines knowledge learning in classroom and skill training during project design and laboratory experiment, promoted by online systems of resource-sharing, question & answer, self-learning and self-exam.
