MaterialsScience and Engineering
Education Programme for Undergraduates
(QMUL Engineering School)
1.ProgrammeIntroduction
Materials are the basic necessity of human existence. Materials science and engineeringis the foundation of science, technology, and manufacturing. As a syncretic discipline hybridizing materials science, engineering, physics, and chemistry, materials science and engineering builds the foundation of aviation, marine engineering, new energy, information technology, renewable resources, and intelligent manufacturing. Materials discipline, which covers metals, ceramics, polymers, and composites, is one of the most influential and distinct disciplines in Queen Mary University of London (hereinafter as QMUL). The Materials programme of QMUL provideselite education and professional training for students with a thorough grounding in the structure of materials, the properties of materials, the performance of materials and the manufacturing processes and design. The discipline has been rated as 5-star by the British government many times. A survey conducted by the National Union of Students in 2011 showed that it ranked top 1 in the UK. The Materials programmes in Northwestern Polytechnical University (hereinafter as NPU) enjoy a high reputation and a great popularity internationally. Materials Science and Engineering of NPU is the National Key Discipline and ranked top 3 among all National Key Disciplines in the 2012 Discipline Evaluation in China. NPU also has 6 scientific research and talent-training platforms at national level.
Approved by the Ministry of Education of China, NPU and QMUL have launched a joint educational institutionnamed Queen Mary University of London Engineering School, Northwestern Polytechnical University (hereinafter referred to as JEI), in order to provide Chinese students with typical British education that emphasises on developing undergraduate students’ innovation ability. The JEI, which builds on the acknowledged expertise and experience of the two universities and their complementary research strengths in materials science, fully uses educational resource advantages and high-level international cooperation platforms of both universities to provide a high quality degree level education in the programme of Materials Science and Engineering (080401H). The programme draws on the academic expertise of both institutions and adopts an international teaching mode with curriculum system, teaching materials, and assessment methods from the UK. The mission of this programme is to develop qualified and innovative talents who can study and work transnationally with the knowledge of natural science, materials science and engineering, and social science. Students graduate with comprehensive qualities, high professional competencies, a global horizon, a life-long study ability, and recognition of international rules.
2. Educational Aims
Under the guidance of Marxism, this programme aims to enhance morality and foster talents, to develop qualified and innovative talents who can study and work transnationally with the knowledge of natural science, materials science and engineering, and social science. Students graduate with comprehensive qualities, high professional competencies, a global horizon, a life-long study ability, and the recognition of international rules. Students who have completed their studies will be able to pursue higher degrees and research within universities in China and internationally or careers in the expanding materials science and manufacturing industry in world famous enterprises.
(1)Be equipped with solid basic knowledge and professional skills
Students should master basic principles in materials science and engineering, experimental and computing methods in the field of engineering and materials science, and knowledge of material design and making, material forming and shaping, product design, and application development. Students should be equipped with the ability to research and analyse the structure, the properties and the performance of metallic materials, inorganic nonmetallic materials, composite materials, and advanced materials. Students are able to solve technical problems in their professional field.
(2)Be equipped with international competitiveness
Students become highly proficient in English language: reading English materials and books in materials science, writing academic essays in English, and conducting technical presentations in English. The programme develops students’ global horizon and the recognition of international rules via the British teaching mode and overseas internship programme. Students can obtain, use and manage various information to conduct cross-cultural communication and cooperation with innovative abilities and international competitiveness. Students can recognize Chinese characteristics and international comparisons correctly, as well as comprehend modern China and the world objectively and comprehensively.
(3)Be equipped with the ability of life-long study
Students should stick to Marxist theory, promote and practice Socialist Core Values, recognize the responsibility of times and mission of history, and to understand ambition and dedication correctly. Students should have a strong sense of social responsibility, a healthy mental and moral state, the ability of leading and working in teams, and outstanding communicative and practical skills. Equipped with good presentation skills and writing abilities, students can communicate effectively with their peers and the public about complex engineering and scientific problems. The cultivation of consciousness of engineering ethics, and the concept of working for the wellbeing of the human beings and sustainable development can help students to adapt to dynamic changes, and master the cutting-edge knowledge and new trends in the field of materials science so as to constantly improve students’ abilities.
3. Educational Requirements

(2)Develop professional skills
Students should be equipped with creative problem-solving and transferable skills and recognize the important value of materialsscience to engineering and other technologies. On the premise of safety, students conduct various experiments practically and are able to design, conduct, analyze and evaluate experiments and the results. Theoretically, students are familiar with the operation of all kinds of equipment used in experiments, tests, and analysis and are capable of searching, collecting and selecting data and presenting scientific and technical report. At last, students should have related abilities to conduct scientific research and develop technology and products.
(3)Develop comprehensive qualities
Students should have the abilities of international competitiveness, communication, life-long study, independent study and work, and leading and working in teams. Students can estimate the relevance, importance and reliability of various information and realize the influence of science and engineering on the future of the society worldwide. Students are capable of computing, analyzing and managing data, and communicating and cooperating transnationally with innovative ability and international competitiveness. With the concept of sustainable development in mind, students are exposed to cutting-edge technology changes in the field of materials and can improve themselves constantly in practice.
4. Qualification and Degree Certificate
Official length of the programme: 4+0 years’ study in accordance with the credit management system.

8. Mode of Teaching
Taking theuseof Britain’s high education concept to cultivate innovative bachelor talents for reference, multiple education modes are practiced, such as theory teaching, experiment teaching, case study, comprehensive application and open-experimental instruction, in all modules except for Chinese Compulsory and PE courses. Rather than relying on the traditional reception teaching, we adopt the student-centred teaching mode, which highlights on fostering students’ ability of self-study, problem-solving and hands-on practice. JEI programmes intend to motivate students’ inner impetus, discover their interests for knowledge and cultivate their lifelong learning as well as working ability.
9. Curriculum Logical Diagram
In accordance with the aim “to develop qualified and innovative talents who can study and work transnationally with the knowledge of natural science, materials science and engineering, and social science. Students graduate with comprehensive qualities, high professional competencies, a global horizon, a life-long study ability, and the recognition to international rules”, major courses are divided into several modules, support and linked with each other, emphasizing on principle specialty, meeting the education standard of professional, composite and entrepreneurial talents.
