The Experimental Teaching Center of Material Science and Engineering wasestablished in July 2013, which is subordinate to the Department of MaterialsScience and Engineering. It carries out professional experimental teaching forundergraduates majoring in materials; provide services for undergraduatestudents in innovative experiments, graduation design and some industrialpractice. It provides experimental teaching platform for cultivatingexperimental hands-on ability of students and comprehensive application of theknowledge they have learned.

The experimental teaching conditions in the experimental center are perfect, whichcovers an area of about 1100 square meters, with 850 sets of teaching equipmentand a total value of about 25 million yuan. There are eight full-time teachers,including one teaching professor, two engineers and five laboratorytechnicians, three with PhD degree and five with MS degree. The professor, engineers and technicians form a teaching team to jointly carry out experimentalteaching.

Through continuous construction, we have formed a comprehensive and design-orientedteaching system characterized by the whole process of"design-preparation-processing-characterization". The experimentscover the fundamentals of material science, the basis of metal materials, theprocessing and preparation of polymer materials, the preparation andapplication of ceramic materials, biomaterials, and special functionalmaterials.

The experimental teaching center will actively promote the construction ofexperimental teaching demonstration center, continue to carry out teachingreform, and introduce modern information technologies such as MOOC, virtualsimulation experiments, micro class and rain class into experimental teaching,so as to provide the experimental teaching platform for training top-notchinnovative talents of materials specialty.
