founded in 1994, originating from the first program of chemical fibers in P.R. China initiated by Prof. Qian Baojun and Prof. Fang Borong back in 1954. CMSE currently offers four National First-Class Undergraduate Majors (Polymer Materials and Engineering, CompositeMaterials and Engineering, Inorganic Non-metallic Materials Engineering, and Functional Materials (New Energy and Optoelectronic Materials)), College of Modern Industry onAdvanced Materials, two first-level discipline Ph.D. programs (Materials Science andEngineering, Chemistry), as well as two Doctor of Engineering programs (Materials andChemical Engineering, Energy and Power). There are 21 national, provincial, and ministerial scientific research bases affiliated to CMSE, including the State Key Laboratory for Modification of Chemical Fibers and Polymer Materials (SKLFPM), the Key Laboratory of High-Performance Fibers and Product of Ministry of Education (B), and Engineering Research Center of Advanced Glass Manufacturing Technology of Ministry of Education. TheSKLFPM and the Engineering Research Center of Advanced Glass Manufacturing Technologyof Ministry of Education were both awarded "Excellent" in the national evaluation in 2018. The discipline of Materials Science and Engineering is selected in China’s “DoubleWorld-Class Project” and ranked Top 1‰ disciplines in the world by Essential ScienceIndicators (ESI).
