山东财经大学教务管理系统中国矿业大学英文介绍

China University of Mining and Technology (CUMT) is one of the key national

universities under the direct administration of the China’s Ministry of Education. It is

also one of the universities which host a graduate school with the approval of the

Ministry

of Education, and one of that in the national “211 project”, a government

program designed to support and improve top-level institutions of higher learning in

China.

CUMT grew out of Jiaozuo School of Railroad and Mines, which was

established in 1909 and was later expanded and renamed Jiaozuo Institute of

Technology. In 1950, Jiaozuo Institute of Technology moved to Tianjin and was

renamed the China Institute of Mining and Technology (CIMT). It became the first

higher learning institution in the field of mining in China.

In 1952, during a national readjustment of higher learning institutions, the

mining engineering departments of Tsinghua University and the now-defunct Beiyang

and Tangshan Railroad Universities were merged into CIMT. In 1953, the Institute

moved to Beijing and was renamed Beijing Institute of Mining and Technology

(BIMT), where it became one of the eight most renowned institutes in Beijing. In

1960, BIMT was rated a key university in the nation. During the period of the

Cultural Revolution, it moved to Sichuan Province and was renamed the Sichuan

Institute of Mining and Technology. In 1978, with the approval of the State Council, a

new campus was established in Xuzhou, Jiangsu Province, with the school name

restored to CIMT, and was rated by

the government as one of China’s 88 key state

universities.

In 1988, the institution was formally renamed the China University of Mining

and Technology (CUMT), and in 1997, a second campus in Beijing was established

with the approval of the Ministry of Education.

As the oldest higher learning institution with a focus on mining engineering in

the country, CUMT has been and continues to receive much attention and support

from leaders of the central government. On May 11, 1988, Deng Xiaoping inscribed

in his own handwriting the name of CUMT (it appears on the cover of this brochure)

which is a mark of great distinction in Chinese culture. On January 19, 1996, then

President Jiang Zemin and vice-premier Wu Bangguo personally inspected the

facilities for coal water mixture preparation technology on the Beijing campus. On

May 18, 1999, Jiang Zemin wrote the inscription for CUMT’s 90

th

anniversary as “Be

enterprising and innovative in exploration, be rigorous and meticulous in academic

pursuits, and build the China University of Mining and Technology into a first-class

university of science and technology in the field of energy resources.” On June 16,

1999, former premier Li Peng wrote a second inscription entitled “Develop the cause

of energy resource science and education. Train outstanding talents for the new

century.” Former vice

-premier Li Lanqing visited the school on October 8, 1999,

followed by Mrs. Chen Zhili, the State Councilor and former Minister of Education,

who paid a visit in May 2002.

After over 90

years’ growth, a multidisciplinary system has emerged at CUMT.

The system focuses on mining engineering and gives priority to engineering

disciplines. At present, on the main campus in Xuzhou, there are 19 schools with 60

undergraduate programs. CUMT offers 50 additional doctoral programs and 100

master’s programs. CUMT now has 8 key disciplines rated by the Chinese

government as national priorities in education, and 13 recognized as key on the

ministerial or provincial level. Schools hosting the 8 key disciplines are able to invite

special professors both in China and from abroad to help with discipline development

under the “Specially Engaged Professorship under the Yangtze River Scholar Award

Project”. Post

-doctoral research opportunities are also available in 11 fields. During

the ninth “Five

-

year Plan” period in 1996

-

2000, the “211 Project” was implemented,

and during that period, CUMT achieved remarkable success in 12 research projects

highlighted by three theoretical and five technical achievements of international

standing. The university continues to operate under the “211 Project” today.

CUMT boasts a large and well-qualified staff. The main campus in Xuzhou hosts

more than 3,000 staff with over 1,400 full-time academics, 230 professors and 333

asso

ciate professors. The university’s current academic staff includes 6 academicians

of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, and 172 supervisors for doctoral candidates.

Among all the academic staff, one has received the first “China Young Scientist

Award”, one has been nominated the prize of the “China Young Scientist Award”, 2

have won the first “Famous Teacher Award” for universities and colleges nationwide,

one has received the “National Model Teacher Award”, 9 have obtained the “China

Youth Award for Excel

lence in Science and Technology”, one has received the title of

“National Excellent Worker for Scientific and Technological Advancement”, 10 have

possessed state-

level titles as the “Outstanding Young and Middle Aged Experts”, 7

have been listed among the

first and second level candidates for the “Millions of

Talents Projects”, 9 have been listed among the “New Century Outstanding Talent

Training Program”, 9 have obtained awards from the China Outstanding Youth

Science Fund, 3 have been listed among candidates for the Eighth China Youth

Award for Excellence in Science and Technology. Additionally, 200 academics have

received various state or ministerial- level honorary academic titles.

CUMT, with a history of nearly 100 years, has always focused on

student- centered education, and the quality of student education has continued to

improve. Since its inception, CUMT has produced more than 100,000 graduates,

among which 10 are top-level academicians in the Chinese Academy of Sciences and

Engineering, and 20 are mi

nisters and provincial governors. Among CUMT’s

graduates are a large number of successful entrepreneurs, technicians and engineers

who have excelled in their fields. Since China’s reform and opening up policy was

adopted in 1978, CUMT has received 13 state-level awards for excellence in teaching

quality, 9 state-level prizes for excellence in textbook publication, 52 ministerial and

provincial-level awards for excellence in teaching achievements, 45 ministerial and

provincial-level awards for excellence in textbooks or monographs. Three courses

have won state-level awards for excellence, and seven have won provincial-level
