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 9
0 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
as
sociate 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
Exc
ellence 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 th
e 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
ministers 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
