■School of Environmental Science and Engineering
The College of Environmental Science and Engineering has under its administration Department of Environmental Engineering, Department of Water Supply & Drainage and Engineering, Department of Architectural Environment and Energy Application Engineering, the Experimental Center, and the Environmental Impact Assessment Center. The College offers undergraduate programs in Environmental Engineering, Water Supply & Drainage Science and Engineering, and Architectural Environment and Energy application Engineering. The Environmental Engineering Program was established in 1984 while the rest 2 dates back to 1958, making the College one of the earliest civil engineering colleges nationwide. The College is qualified to confer doctoral degrees in Environmental Engineering, master's degrees in tier-1 disciplines of Environmental Science and Engineering (namely Environmental Engineering, and Environmental Science), and master’s degrees in Municipal Engineering and in HVAC Engineering. It also boasts a post-doc station for the study of environmental science and technology. In particular, Environmental Engineering distinguishes itself as a key discipline and a signature major in universities and colleges of Shanxi Province, and Municipal Engineering is marked as special offering at the Shanxi Provincial Engineering Graduate Education Innovation Center. The College enjoys a strong 79-member staff team and a 67-member faculty (including 10 professors, 23 associate professors and 34 lecturers), 3 doctoral supervisors and 41 master’s supervisors. In addition, it boasts a dynamic student body of more than 1100 undergraduates, 200 master students and more than 20 doctoral students. Therefore, the College has put in place a full-fledged teaching and research system incorporating doctoral students, masters and undergraduates.
In recent years, faculty members at the College have taken advantage of their professional strength to carry out R & D projects in such fields as environmental pollution control, municipal utilities, renewable energy use and building energy conservation to serve the needs of national and provincial economic development. As a result, 5 major research teams have come to the fore, focusing on the 5 areas of water pollution control and conversion of pollutants into resources and energy, water environment and urban water supply security, analysis and control of air pollutants, HVAC new technology and renewable energy use, and environmental materials preparation and application. Apart from undertaking many NNSF projects, key projects with major national support, national environmental protection projects, the Sino-Japanese CDM Project and more than 100 provincial and ministerial level research projects, the College has also raised a host of innovative theoretical insights and created a batch of new technologies, with quite a few researches topping the country. Meanwhile, the College has cultivated a large number of senior engineering professionals and technical personnel with innovation awareness and research capabilities, making tremendous contributions to the national energy conservation and environmental protection as well as the local economic development.
■ Software College
Evolving from the College of Computer and Software at Taiyuan University of Technology (TYUT), the Software College at TYUT is fortressed by the strong faculty team and advantageous teaching and research facilities of the College of Computer Science and Technology at TYUT. It has the authority to confer doctoral degrees in tier-2 disciplines of Computer Application Technology, and master’s degrees in tier-1 disciplines of Computer Science and Technology and Software Engineering, and (engineering) master’s degrees in the fields of Computer Technology and Software Engineering. Its undergraduate program offerings date back to the Electronic Computer Program in 1958, turning into the Computer Software Program in 1994 which was then integrated with the Computer Applications Program to become the Computer Science and Technology Program in 1998. Finally, the Software Engineering Program came into existence and began enrolling students after being approved of Ministry of Education in 2004.
After several years of experiment and practice, the College has accumulated rich experience, improved the cultivation plan, forged a strong faculty team, and set up training bases in the training of software professionals, thus ensuring the quality of training. The College has made tremendous efforts in order to achieve the leapfrog development in the training of software personnel, as well as align better with the national needs of implementing industrial restructuring with priority given to developing information industry and taking the software industry as a new growth area in economic development. In particular, it has highlighted the software engineering practice and practicum, strengthened university-enterprise cooperation and adopted the new "3+1" and "2+1+1" models to cultivate students so as to meet the urgent needs for software professionals spurred by the development of software industry. The Software College at TYUT was founded in 2010, and enrolls Shanxi students in its Software Engineering Program. Based on the areas in serious shortage of IT talents and the College’s advantageous disciplines, the College offers programs with disparate concentrations in Software Design and Development, Embedded Software Technology, E-commerce, Network Engineering and Application, and Mobile Internet Development, etc., which fully serves the needs of students’ various academic and career pursuits. Currently, the Software Engineering Program offered by the Software College at TYUT houses 3968 undergraduates.
In echoing the policy requirements of Ministry of Education to deepen university-enterprise cooperation, TYUT joined hands with China Soft International Co., Ltd., Qingdao Software Park and other well-known domestic software enterprises in 2012 to forge strong cooperation, with each bringing their best to the table. Taking into consideration the industry's most cutting-edge technology and enterprises' most-up-to-date talent needs, the College has made innovative explorations in terms of the cultivation model, curriculum, teaching materials and practicum in software talent training. The new "3+1" and "2+1+1" models are adopted to cultivate professionals in international software engineering technology and management. TYUT has fully leveraged its own rich experience in talent cultivation, along with the abundant industry experience and employment channels of China Soft International Co., Ltd., and Qingdao Software Park and other enterprises to improve students' knowledge, skills and employability.
