Abstract

The scale of the metallurgical industry of China is very huge. The energy consumption, resources supplying and environmental impaction of China are also causing severe challenges. The education programs and activities in universities towards undergraduate students and graduates concerning about the sustainability of metallurgical industry in China are introduced in this paper. Since the beginning of the 21centry, the courses related with environmental protection, energy saving, ecology, eco-materials were opened. Even the school of metallurgical engineering was changed to the school of metallurgical and ecological engineering and undergraduate students majoring in ecological engineering were cultivated. On the other hand, key laboratories related with metallurgical engineering and resources utilization which affiliated with Minister of Education were established in different universities. These laboratories provide platforms for educating and researching activities concerning sustainability of the metallurgical industry. The content of those courses, activities and achievements of education programs and research including international exchange will be reported in detail.
