Changzhou Institute of Technology (herein referred to as CIT) is located in Changzhou, a well-known, rich and beautiful city on the southern bank of Yangtze River, which enjoys a developed economy, a prosperous education and culture as well as convenient transportation. Founded in April, 1978, CIT has now become a practice-oriented institution of higher learning with distinctive characteristics, offering 4-year academic programs in such fields as engineering, liberal arts, science, economics, management, education, etc. There are 15 schools in CIT, offering 32 4-year undergraduate programs. At the same time, CIT actively involves itself in international education exchange and cooperation, and has run 15 co-operation programs with its overseas partners. There are around 14000 three-year and four-year full-time students and more than 1100 staff members.
CIT boasts a total area of more than 66.7 hectares and a total floor space of over 300000 square meters. Up-to-date facilities create a healthy learning environment, allowing students to participate in sci-tech research, sports and other activities on campus. CIT has been awarded a number of honorary titles such as “Civilized Unit of Jiangsu Province”, “Garden Campus of Jiangsu Province” and “Top 400 in Afforestation of the State”.
With a direct focus on local development, CIT spares no effort to cultivate fine and high-quality practice-oriented talents with innovative ideas and pragmatic competence. In light of the new requirement and new characteristics seen in the restructuring of economy, industry and technology in the city, CIT continues to take an initiative to deepen its educational reform and innovate the cultivation modes and system. CIT is committed to blazing a new trail for training practice-oriented personnel at “zero distance” by integrating production with learning and research in order to build up the core competitiveness for students of different specialties. Up to date, CIT has turned out over 80000 three-and-four-year practice-oriented graduates for different social sectors. Its graduates have been enjoying great popularity for their high quality attributed to the excellent teaching work. In 2006, as the first one among the newly-established four-year colleges and universities in Jiangsu Province to receive the accreditation and assessment for the undergraduate education by the Ministry of Education of the State, CIT got a very good score.
CIT attaches great importance to applied sci-tech research and development, and has made remarkable achievements in integrating production with learning and research and in providing technical services to the community. More than 100 achievements in sci-tech research have won municipal, provincial and state awards. Meanwhile, with CIT’s persistence in promoting teaching quality through scientific research, a dozen or so scientific research centers have been set up based on the advantageous disciplines. They are the center of Optics, Machinery and Electronics, the center of Moulds and Dies, the center of Numerical Control, the center of Animation, the center of Software Design and Development. In addition, a sci-tech park has been established for research, production and student’s practice. Some school-run enterprises, technically supported by CIT’s key specialties, such as photo-electromechanical control, molding, numerically-controlled technology, industrial design, software development and design etc. have served as good training bases to cultivate practice-oriented talents.
