The Department of Chemical Industry and Environment has four majors: chemical engineering and technology, energy chemical engineering, environmental engineering and safety engineering, with 34 teachers, including 7 professors, 2 senior engineers, 8 associate professors, 1 senior engineer, 7 lecturers and 9 experimenters.

Major in Chemical Engineering and Technology

Chemical Engineering and Technology is one of the earliest majors of China University of Petroleum (Beijing). Its predecessor was the petroleum refining major of the Department of Chemical Engineering of Tsinghua University. After the establishment of Karamay Campus in 2015, the chemical engineering and technology major has become the key construction major of the campus, the key major of innovation and entrepreneurship in the autonomous region, the first-class undergraduate major in the autonomous region, and the pilot major of the integration of industry and education of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. At present, it has built the Karamay Branch of the State Key Laboratory of Heavy Oil and the Chemical and Chemical Experimental Teaching Center of the Autonomous Region.

The major adheres to the principle of morality and cultivating people, takes serving the national strategic needs, the development of the petrochemical and other energy industries and the construction of the regional economy as its own responsibility, and closely connects with the upgrading and technological changes of the oil and gas industry. High-level, applied, international" talent training goal, implement the excellent engineer plan, explore a new model of deep integration of industry and education talent training, and cultivate a high sense of social responsibility and good professional ethics, humanistic and scientific literacy, and healthy physical and mental quality for the western region. Guarantee, materials, energy and other departments are engaged in engineering design, technology research and development, production technology management and other work. They have a strong professional, strong ability, high-quality senior application-oriented professionals and innovative talents.

The chemical major strictly implements the standard requirements of the Ministry of Education, such as chemical undergraduate/excellent engineer/engineering certification, and implements the "five integration" of innovative engineering practical ability: the integration of talent training and enterprise needs, the integration of curriculum system and engineering practice, the integration of theoretical teaching and practical teaching, professional teachers and skilled craftsmen. Integration, campus culture and corporate culture. Schools and enterprises cooperate to educate people and establish a high-level applied talent training model of "four years of continuous line of practical teaching, four years of continuous line of senior technical personnel of enterprises to participate in talent training, and four years of continuous line of scientific and technological innovation". Build an intelligent chemical innovation class to realize the integration of artificial intelligence, big data, the Internet of Things and the profession, and help the transformation and upgrading of the oil refining and chemical industry.

Major in Energy Chemical Engineering

The energy and chemical engineering major of Karamay Campus of China University of Petroleum (Beijing) was established and began to enroll students in the College of Technology in 2020. The academic system is 4 years, and the engineering degree is awarded.

Can and chemical processing technology, master enterprise energy efficiency evaluation, process energy optimization and other technologies, master energy chemical process design skills, and be able to engage in chemical production, production management, technology management, chemical energy evaluation, process design, technology development, science in fossil energy chemical industry, biochemical industry, new energy and other industries. High-quality applied engineering and technical personnel for research and other work.

Major in Environmental Science and Engineering

The major of environmental science and engineering was established in the campus engineering college in 2021 and began to recruit students. The academic system is 4 years, and the engineering degree is awarded. It began to recruit master's students independently in 2024. The campus environmental engineering major has distinctive petroleum and petrochemical characteristics, focusing on the monitoring and prevention and control of organic pollution, environmental planning and management, air pollution and human settlements health, and solid waste resourceization. This major has a team of highly educated, high academic level, professional and complementary teachers, and has undertaken the research of a number of National Natural Science Foundation, national key basic research and development projects, and provincial and ministerial scientific and technological research projects.

The environmental engineering major is to cultivate the concept of sustainable development and sense of responsibility, a solid theoretical foundation of environmental engineering disciplines and related disciplines, knowledge of pollution control, environmental protection management, environmental monitoring, etc., and the ability to carry out pollution control engineering design and operation management, formulate environmental protection planning and environmental protection management. It has the ability to solve complex environmental engineering problems, and has the ability to engage in the research and development of new theories, processes and new equipment in environmental engineering. It can engage in environmental monitoring and environmental protection departments, design units, industrial enterprises (especially petroleum, petrochemical and chemical enterprises), environmental protection enterprises, scientific research units, etc. High-quality applied engineering and technical talents in management, environmental protection planning, technology development, engineering design, engineering operation management and scientific research.

Major in Safety Science and Engineering

The enrollment of the campus safety engineering major will begin in 2022, which is in line with the school's adherence to the initiative of serving the Belt and Road Initiative and the national energy security strategy and regional economic and social development. Aiming at the energy industry, petrochemical and chemical-related industries in Xinjiang's eight major industries, we cultivate general-purpose application talents based on wide-caliber and practice-oriented.

This major is facing the national development strategy, the needs of social and economic development and the development trend of the industry. It cultivates qualified builders and reliable successors of the socialist cause with the all-round development of morality, intelligence, physic, beauty and labor. It has a scientific spirit and humanistic literacy, and systematically masters the basic knowledge of safety science, safety technology, safety management and emergency response. Skills, high-quality applied engineering and technical personnel with innovation consciousness, practical ability, professional quality and a certain international vision, who can engage in safety emergency response and management, safety evaluation, safety technology research, safety engineering design, safety consulting and training, safety supervision and other aspects in chemical-related industries and fields.
