ECUT is the pilot university of the Outstanding Engineer Education and Training Programme of the Ministry of Education, the Plan 111 of the Ministry of Education, the Basic Capacity Building Project of Colleges and Universities in the Central and Western regions to support universities, and the New Engineering research and practise projects to be selected in colleges and universities.[1]
History
ECUT, originally established in 1956 in Shanxi Province. It started as Taigu Geological School. It belonged to State Second Mechanic Industry, a state defence institution.
It was jointly built by the People's Government of Jiangxi Province, the State Administration of National Defence Science, Technology and Industry, the Ministry of Natural Resources, and the China Nuclear Industry Corporation.
In 1958, ECUT moved to Fuzhou, Jiangxi Province due to the abundant uranium deposits, and later to Nanchang.
Presently, ECUT is jointly run by the Jiangxi Government and China Atomic Energy Association (CAEA), the Ministry of Natural Resource (MNR), China National Nuclear Corporation (CNNC).[2]
