Since the founding of the school, great success has been made in teaching, scientific research and training of qualified graduates. Our teachers pay great attention to the work in classroom and won first three prizes in teaching contests of the university many times. Our graduates have received high praises from their working units of industry and many have been promoted to important positions.

The school also achieved success in scientific research. Since the founding it has completed projects with 8 National Natural Science Funding, 2 Doctor Station Funding, 5 Young Scientists Funding, and more than 200 research projects of Provincial and Ministry's funding. Recent years we have published 200 more research articles with many being indexed by EI and SCI, and more than 10 academic books, There are also 20 more patents being granted.

The school has active academic exchange and cooperation with outside world. It has built the relationship with about 100 companies and research institutes in research and development of new technology. The academic exchange spans to universities of USA, Canada, Japan, Germany, Austria and Thailand, including scientific exchange and cooperation, scholar's exchange and personal training. Over 10 faculties who have studied abroad are now active in this school.

As we are stepping into the 21st century, the School of Energy and Power Engineering are striving towards the goal of providing a first-class education in the 21st century. Since the reform and open-door policy was put into practice, the School has initially formed the multilevel and multistandard style for advancing the engineering sciences. The department has conducted a series of reforms to improve our teaching with emphasis on research and innovation. These reforms aim to train 21st century professionals with breadth of knowledge, great motivation for their work, and ability to pursue scientific research.

We can hear the steps of the high-tech era, which challenges the School of Energy and Power Engineering to strive for ever higher goals. With the reform and opening to the outside world and with the educational system reform, the faculty of the School of Energy and Power Engineering welcome eagerly the challenges of the 21st century, and will contribute greatly to the advancement of Jiangsu University into a first-class university in China.

We cultivate students to become qualified technicians of high-quality in fluid machinery & fluid engineering field. They will be qualified to design, manufacture & develop fluid machinery of various kinds. They will be also qualified to finish such work as application research, operation management & sales. Students will learn those specialized courses such as principle of fluid machinery, CAD in fluid machinery, pump & blower, hydraulic turbine, seals & valves, measurement & testing technology of fluid machinery, strength calculation in fluid machinery, automatic control of fluid machinery operation, flow theory in hydraulic machines, fluid jet technology, optimum designing method, calculation method of finite units etc., besides the public & technical basic courses study during their four years' study in our department of Jiangsu University. The students will have a good grasp of the basic theories & broad professional knowledge when they graduate. Then they will have ability to communicate in foreign language & to apply computer skillfully. They will have those basic skills such as mechanic drawing, calculation & testing, information gaining & production operations. The students can be employed by research institutes, factories, colleges & universities and companies, which are related to pumps, hydraulic turbines, blowers and compressors of various kinds. They can engage themselves in one of these jobs as scientific research, products and engineering design, teaching, technology development, management & administration and sales etc. They have great advantages over other students in competing for a higher degree study in other related scientific disciplines.

The main assignment of the staff room of hydrodynamics is to finish the teaching of the course on hydrodynamics. We are engaged on the research of the foundation theory and the application in the engineering on the hydromechanics. The staff room has 10 members, including 1 professor (Doctor degree supervisor),3 associate professor (or high-engineer),2 lecturer(or engineer),2 doctors and 3 masters in active service. Now we have teaching curriculums of the engineering hydrodynamic on enginery, the hydrodynamic on power machine, the advanced hydrodynamic, the calculation hydrodynamic, the two-Phase flow and several-Phase flow, the plumbing technology of laser Doppler, etc...

The Major of Thermal Energy and Building Environment Engineering over a long period of time the cleanliness be engaged in the coaled burn research, regarding CFB technique as primarily rely on the technique, and proceed application study with technique development. The research direction include :the CFB air purifies the technique; high efficiency exchange research; hot tube and its application; the use of solar energy and CFB coal gasify technique etc.

Thermal Energy Engineering profession the direction educate to be engaged in the thermal energy to release, conversion, deliver to design with reasonable exploitation and thermodynamic energy equipments, research, circulate, the management's high class engineering technique talented person.

The graduate student controls the hot physics, mechanics, machine of engineering to learn, electrician's electronics, calculator application technique, thermodynamic energy the design, experiment of the equipments and thermodynamic energy system research and circulate management, thermal energy reasonable make use of with stanza can technique of knowledge.
