Program Objectives | Electrochemistry and Electrochemical Engineering have played important roles in many scientific and technologic fields. The research areas are centered, but not limited, on energy, materials, sensors and nanotechnology. This program provides an opportunity for students to systematically study the fundamentals and practice of electrochemistry and electrochemical engineering as well as the new frontiers and related areas. It aims to strengthen the students with the capabilities of problem solving and independent researching in both academies and industries in the future. |
Requirements of Research Ability and Other Aspects | Students should be aware of developments in the research field and be able to read research literature and write abstracts. Student should be familiar with the commonly used experimental and characterization methods and can use these methods in the research work. Students should have certain ability to design experiment, observe, record and analyze experimental results, identify and solve problems. Students should be capable of using computer to process research data and doing literature search |
Thesis Work | The dissertation should be written under the instruction of the supervisor. The dissertation needs to build on the practical science experiment. The dissertation should be completed independently and it should be written in English with a detailed abstract written in Chinese. The supervisor has the right to determine whether the student can enter the dissertation stage. |
Main Documents, Catalogues and Publications of the Discipline | Evaluation ways: 1. Examination: Knowledge of references and journals to be covered on the exam. 2. Examination on thesis proposal or comprehensive examination; 3. Reading Report; 4. Other specific ways. |

Literature Review and Scientific Research Report |
Students should complete the literature review and research report before the end of the summer semester of the first academic year. They are supposed to give at least one presentation on the topic that is not directly related to their research area. At least three mentors,except their own mentor, are needed in the assessment team. The specific requirements are detailed in the annual notice. |
Thesis Proposal |
Students shall be required to participate in the thesis proposal before the end of the summer semester of the first academic year, and those who do not participate in the thesis proposal organized by the Institute for special reasons shall not participate in the graduation thesis defense. Students should achive the agreement with the institution about the time of thesis proposal before they leave school for research. The assessment method includes written report and oral report. The specific requirements are detailed in the annual notice. |
Teaching Practice |
Graduate Students Work as teaching assistants for at least one course and complete a certain teaching assistant workload (not less than 64 hours) for 1 credit, assessed by the teacher in charge of the experiment or classroom teaching. |
Social Practice and Innovative Practice |
students should take part in at least one social practice or innovative practice before the fall semester of the second academic year. The specific organization and assessment requirements are detailed in the school and college management measures. The social practice includes social investigation, field investigation, post-holding exercise, enterprise practice training, science, technology and Cultural Service, voluntary service and so on. Graduate students who have participated in social practice activities for 2 weeks or more during the course of study and pass the examination will receive 1 credit. The innovative practice activities include all kinds of innovative and entrepreneurial activities, academic competitions, industry competitions and other practical activities. The specific requirements are set out in the regulations of the college. Participants in social practice and innovative practice can receive 1 credit by submiting a practical activity report, signed by the instructor. The maximum credits for Social Practice and Innovative Practice is 1 credit. |
