AC 2011-621: CONSTRUCTION AND INNOVATION OF THE DISCIPLINE OF MINERAL PROCESSING ENGINEERING IN CHINA UNIVERSITY OF MINING AND TECHNOLOGY

Taking the technology of the processing and utilization of coal resource and the clean coal technology as its characteristic, the discipline of mineral processing engineering of China University of Mining and Technology (CUMT) has been developing more than a century, and is a national key discipline. It has formed a passel of world advanced research achievements and becomes an important base for the education and scientific research of Chinese mineral processing engineering and it also has high position and effect in the energy research field of the world. It entered into the key disciplines of Jiangsu province and the former Ministry of Coal Industry in 1994, and was qualified to pass the inspection of the outstanding brand discipline of Jiangsu province in 2006, as well as was selected as the national key discipline and the construction point of the national special discipline in 2007. In 2008, it was selected as a national teaching group. The teaching group seriously explores the innovative teaching reform in construction of teaching faculty and the major specialized course, such as mineral processing, methods of coal preparation experimental research, design and management of coal preparation plant, mechanism of mineral processing. And a teaching group with high-level teaching faculty gradually forms by the teaching reform and specialty construction of discipline of mineral processing engineering, so as to perfects the course development of other disciplines, and improves qualities of teaching faculty. The faculty, laboratory and scientific research conditions of the discipline are introduced, and the personnel training scheme of the subject, and the courses system are also discussed in the paper. Recently, the discipline of CUMT focuses on the practice of innovation teaching of the college students and construction of engineering application ability.
