Education Plan for Postgraduate (Academic type) in Environmental Science and Engineering (0830)
一、Discipline introduction
In year 1983, relying on the advantages of fermentation engineering discipline at home and aboard, Jiangnan University took the lead in establishing environmental biotechnology laboratory headed by academician Lun Shiyi with the aim to realize cross-penetrating among biology, environmental science, ecology and engineering, etc., best play multi-disciplinary advantages, devote to use biological means to study and solve regional and national environmental issues. In year 1998, we gained the right of master’s degree conferring in “environmental engineering”, and in year 2003 we gained the right of doctor’s degree conferring in “environmental engineering”. The environmental engineering discipline point of Jiangnan University was recognized as the featured major of Jiangsu Province and national featured major construction point of institutions of higher learning in 2010. We began to enroll postgraduate students in “environmental science and engineering” major as the first level discipline since year 2012. The environmental science and engineering major of Jiangnan University has four independent and common disciplinary directions, including wastes reclamation engineering, water pollution prevention and treatment engineering, lake pollution and rehabilitation and environmental ecology. Waste reclamation engineering mainly relates to research on bioconversion of food fermentation by-products and municipal sewage sludge or extracting of high value-added products. Water pollution prevention and treatment engineering mainly relates to R&D on anaerobic biological treatment technology for organic wastewater of food fermentation industry and ternary combination treatment technology of refractory chemical wastewater. Lake pollution and rehabilitation mainly relates to research on disaster mechanism, treatment and rehabilitation technology of eutrophication of Taihu Lake, and test technology of persistent organic pollutants, etc. The environmental ecology mainly relates to research on ecological effect and toxicity threatened by acid rain, ultraviolet rays and typical environmental factor.
