学院十分重视学生综合素质的培养，以提高学生的创新能力、实践能力为突破口，大力开展学生第二课堂、科技创新和社会实践等活动。近年来，学生在自治区和全国“挑战杯”大学生课外学术科技作品竞赛及创业计划大赛中屡获佳绩，获奖项目累计40余项。2011年，我院一篇博士论文入选全国优秀博士论文提名。
为了解决自治区经济建设中的实际问题，学院在提高教学质量的同时，非常重视科研成果的转化和学生创新能力的培养，通过中日两国政府技术合作项目-乳制品研究培训中心、“大学生科技创新平台”等科研和学生实习实践基地，成功地完成了乳制品中天然乳酸菌的分离与开发利用、功能性乳制品的研制、高新技术在肉乳保鲜上的应用和肉宰后生理等研究，部分成果已成功地应用到“伊利”、“蒙牛”、“新希望”等著名企业的产品研发和生产当中，取得了良好的经济效益和社会效益。
College of Food Science and Engineering
The College of Food Science and Engineering was founded in 1988.Since then, the college has been seriously persisting in the education policy of the country, persevering in obeying the rule of the advanced education and the direction of school running under the guidance of the standpoint of scientific development. The college running characteristic and discipline predominance have been gradually formed. In addition, we made a great progress in talent training, discipline construction, promotion of teaching quality, scientific research and technological development, social services, international exchange and cooperation.
There are first-class doctor’s degree authorization discipline (Food Science and Engineering), 5 second- class doctor’s degree authorization discipline (Food Science, Processing and preservation of Agricultural products, Foodstuff oil and plant protein Engineering, Aquatic and Animal products safely production). There are three majors for undergraduate (Food Science and Engineering, Packing Engineering, Food Quality and Safety). The College has three subordinate departments and a Laboratory Center for undergraduate teaching. The departments are Food Science and Engineering, Food Quality and Safety and Packaging Engineering. The College also has two key opening laboratories and two opening centers and a pilot plant named respectively “key laboratory of dairy biotechnology and Engineering of Education Ministry” , “Key Laboratory of Dairy Product Research of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region ” , “Technology Research Center of Animal Product Processing Engineering of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region ” , “Dairy Product Research and Training Center of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region” and “YIDE Dairy pilot plant of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region”. Food science and engineering is the representative program of Inner Mongolia. Processing and Preservation Engineering of Agricultural Products is the key discipline of Inner Mongolia.
Association of Animal Product and Processing Association of Inner Mongolia share the administration resource with the college. There are 76 faculties in the college (29 National minorities); among them there are 20 professors, 18 associate professors, 5 Ph D student tutors, 25 graduate student tutors. There is one teacher was selected as member of National outstanding youth Science fund, 3 persons who were selected as first and second layer candidates for the “New Century 321 Talent Engineering” of Inner Mongolia autonomous Region. 2 teachers were selected as first- rate expert for inner Mongolic 333 Talent introduce Engineering. The number of teachers who have the PhD and Master degree accounts for 92.5% of the total number of teachers. Now a day, there are 30 PhD students, 200 graduates and 1724 undergraduates in the college. By the endeavor for many years, the disciplines construction has a very good development trend. The overall facilities equipped are in an advanced level among the same level colleges in the nationwide range. In recent years, about 80 research projects are performed, among them, 16 projects were funded by National Nature Science Fund Council, 2 projects funded by national 863 program, 5 projects funded by national key tackle problem program and others were funded by Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. About 800 papers and 32 textbooks were published. The scientific researchers have won 9 prizes above the province level, Teachers have won 2 prizes of teaching achievements in the level of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, 18 patents were obtained by the researchers. In 2011, a doctoral thesis was nominated as national excellent doctoral dissertations of china, scientific research outlay amounts to 40 million Yuan. Some of the research results have been successfully applied to several big companies such as YILI, MengNiu, and New Hope.
The college attaches importance to the comprehensive diathesis training of students, supports the secondary classes and social practice activities. The graduated students have gotten good reputation in the society.
