The College of Food and Pharmaceutical Engineering was founded in 2013. There are 34 faculty and staff members in the college, including 5 professors, 14 associate professors. In them, 21 are Ph.D, 13 are master, and 4 are Doctoral candidate, and 12 "Academic-Practical" teachers. The college provides 3 undergraduate programs which are Pharmaceutical Engineering, Bio-pharmaceutical Engineering, Brewing Engineering and 1 upgraded program which is Brewing Engineering.
In scientific research, the college have 1 national science and technology platform, 1 provincial scientific research platform, 1 provincial talent team, and 5 bureau-level scientific research platforms. In 2015, the Science and Ttechnology Department of Guizhou Province approved the college to build a makers' spaces Health-lab, which identified as a national-level makers' spaces by the Ministry of Science and Technology in 2016..
To be satisfied the students education and scientific research, we have build an undergraduate experimental teaching center, a scientific research platform (2nd floor, First experimental building) and a brewing practice and training base, with a total experimental area of about 4000 m2. There are more than 12 professional laboratories, such as Biochemistry laboratory, Microbiology laboratory, Pharmaceutical analysis laboratory, Pharmaceutical preparation laboratory, Pharmaceutical synthesis laboratory, Natural pharmaceutical chemistry laboratory, Food chemistry laboratory, Fermentation&brewing technology laboratory, Sensory evaluation laboratory, Virtual simulation laboratory(VR classroom), and 1 campus Practical venues for Brewing production Line practice. The research platform has more than 20 precision equipment, such as GC-MS/GC-O, HPLC, GC, electronic tongue, electronic nose, molecular distillation equipment, carbon dioxide extraction instrument, etc.(November, 2023)
