As a cornerstone of East China University of Science and Technology (ECUST), the School of Chemical Engineering is recognized as one of China's premier institutions for education, research, and innovation in the chemical engineering sciences. Our legacy is intrinsically linked to the founding of the university in 1952, establishing us among the nation's first dedicated centers for higher education in the chemical industry.

For over seven decades, we have built upon a formidable foundation. Our evolution—from the pioneering departments of Inorganic, Organic Industry, and Chemical Machinery to the official establishment of the School in 1997—reflects a continuous commitment to academic excellence and adaptive growth. Today, we are defined by a robust disciplinary structure centered on Chemical Engineering, Chemical Technology, and Energy Chemical Engineering.
