Aims of the program of studies

According to the medium and long-term education development planning of the People's Republic of China, the "twelfth five-year" education reform and development planning of Shanghai, the educational mission of USST - "basing in Shanghai, facing the world, focusing on education and serving the society", and the requirements of the plan for educating and training outstanding engineers of Ministry of Education (MoE) of the People’s Republic of China, our two programs - Energy and Power Engineering Program and Mechanical Design, Manufacture and Automation Program have established the following overall training objectives: to train "engineering-type, innovative and international" qualified personnel who are equipped with extensive fundamental theories and strong professional fundamental knowledge and skills, capable of applying the knowledge and skills to solve basic engineering problems, and who develop healthily in such aspects as individuality and personality, with strong comprehensive innovation sense, independent work capability and teamwork spirit in the field of engineering science and technology, as well as high cultural competence, good work ethics, high degree of social responsibility and international perspective, excellent social competitiveness and creativity, in order to meet the requirements for international accredited engineering qualification and engineer occupation qualification, and lay a strong foundation for international mutual recognition of engineer qualifications.

Energy and Power Engineering Program

Energy and Power Engineering Program takes the theories, methods, practices and applications in the process of energy production, conversion and utilization as a direction for learning and employment. Energy and Power Engineering Program focuses on training outstanding engineers with good social adaptation capability, international vision and engineering practice capability, who are acquainted with strong theoretical foundation and professional knowledge, and capable of the design, manufacturing, management, research, development, installation, operation and marketing in the related fields of Energy and Power Engineering.

Energy and Power Engineering Program covers four directions: Thermal Power Engineering, Power Machinery Engineering, and Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineering, Engineering Thermophysics.

For Thermal Power Engineering, engineering technical personnel are trained in such aspects as research and development of energy conversion and utilization technology and equipment, as well as emission control technology associated with energy conversion process, operation and control of energy conversion and utilization equipment.

For Power Machinery Engineering, engineering technical personnel are trained in such aspects as research and development, design, manufacturing, operation and control of steam turbines, gas turbines, compressors, fans, pumps and other power machinery.

For Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineering, engineering technical personnel are trained in research and development of refrigeration and air conditioning technology as well as cryogenic technology; design, manufacturing, operation and control of refrigeration and air conditioning equipment, as well as cryogenic equipment.

For Engineering Thermophysics, research and application-oriented personnel are trained in studying and analyzing the multiphase flow, heat and mass transfer, energy conversion and utilization as well as combustion processes and theories, etc. which are related to energy systems and power equipment.
