History

ECUT, originally established in 1956 in Shanxi Province. It started as Taigu Geological School. It belonged to State Second Mechanic Industry, a state defense institution.

It was jointly built by the People's Government of Jiangxi Province, the State Administration of National Defense 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.

Curriculum
Taigu Geological School was founded in 1956 in the old residence of Kung Hsiang-hsi

From its inception, ECUT has focused on the fields of nuclear science and geoscience and expanded to engineering, science, language, economy, and arts. ECUT offers one doctoral program, 71 master programs, and 68 bachelor programs. Most of these disciplines are connected to the traditional fields at ECUT, forming more than 20 schools and research centers.[2]
