The College of Chemical and Biological Engineering (CBE) of Zhejiang University was established in 1927, the first in the ChE discipline in the country. Since then, Chemical Engineering at ZJU's has remained one of China's top engineering programs providing excellence in education and research. As the oldest Chemical Engineering program in the country, it recently expanded its core program into six institutes and changed its name to the College of Chemical and Biological Engineering at Zhejiang University (ZJU CBE).The list of institutes includes Chemical Engineering, Chemical Reaction Engineering, Polymer and Polymerization Engineering, Bioengineering, Pharmaceutical Engineering, and Industrial Ecology and Environment. These provide world-class education and research opportunities attracting the best and brightest students from China and worldwide. The College's mission is to provide science and engineering talent to develop China's chemical and related industries, further supporting the national economy's long-term development.
