Bachelor’s in Bioengineering (JMD)

The Bioengineering programme traces its roots back to 1955 when it was established as China's first antibiotic manufacturing engineering programme, making a historic contribution to the founding and growth of the country's antibiotic industry. In 2008, it was designated as a National Key Programme, and in 2010, it was approved by the Ministry of Education as part of the Excellence Engineer Programme. In 2012, it was recognized as a National Engineering Practice Education Center in collaboration with industry. The programme passed the national engineering education accreditation twice, in 2016 and 2019. In 2017, the "Intelligent Biomanufacturing" project was approved as a New Engineering Research and Practice Project by the Ministry of Education, and in 2018, the programme was authorized to offer a dual-degree programme in "Bioengineering" in cooperation with Brandenburg University of Technology in Germany. In 2019, the Bioengineering programme was selected for the Ministry of Education's First-Class Programme Construction, receiving wide recognition for its engineering education both domestically and internationally. The Bioengineering programme adheres to a student-centered, outcome-oriented educational philosophy, cultivating well-rounded professionals with a strong foundation, practical skills, high quality, international vision, and innovative spirit. The program emphasizes the integration of biology and engineering in its training, implementing diverse talent cultivation plans. It follows an international education approach, offering various undergraduate exchange programmes with renowned universities and enterprises in the United States, Europe, and Japan. Over the past five years, it has compiled and published seven national planning textbooks and has received a second-class National Teaching Achievement Award, a first-class Teaching Achievement Award from the China Chemical Education Association, and two Shanghai Teaching Achievement Awards. The employment rate of graduates exceeds 98%, covering fields such as biomedicine, energy and chemical engineering, green manufacturing, and food and environmental protection. This programme adopts an interdisciplinary training model, guided by the talent demands of the bioengineering and pharmaceutical industries. It integrates multiple disciplines, including chemical engineering and technology, bioengineering, and pharmacy, with a focus on enhancing students' comprehensive qualities and practical skills. The curriculum is designed to align with the cutting-edge developments in the field, aiming to cultivate high-level, versatile talents equipped with expertise in product development, production, quality control, and project management within the bioengineering and pharmaceutical sectors. By combining theoretical instruction with practical training, and integrating laboratory research with industry collaboration, the program strengthens students' understanding and mastery of the entire process in bioengineering and the biopharmaceutical industry, fostering innovative thinking and hands-on capabilities in professional talents.
