Materials Science and Engineering
The department was established in
1994 and the master graduate program was initiated two years later in
1996. With the rapid growth of the university, the continuing education
master program was added in 1997 and recently, the Ph. D. program was
established for those to further the education in the field of materials
science and engineering. Currently, the department is staffed with 18
full time faculty members; all has a Ph. D. degree.
With the diversified expertise of the faculty members and the
domestic manufacturing and business structures, the department has been
able to categorize the research activities in six major fields:
electronics, electro optics, metals, ceramics, polymer, and,
nanomaterials to meet the demands. The student can take the advantages
to select the area of interest to pursue the graduate research works or
special topic report credential to apply for admission to graduate
schools. The department emphases the teaching doctrine of applying
learned skills in real life to provide the student a balanced education.
By planning, the department has been expanding by installing
more instruments and equipments plus the recruiting of new faculty
member to meet the teaching and research requirements of ever changing
new domains in the science of materials. The cooperation with both
private and government institutes by joint efforts and projects have
been successfully implemented and executed in years. This mode of
operation providing on time inputs from outside as well as facilitating
the studentˇ¦s future career planning.
The department is well equipped to support both the teaching
and research facilities. Currently there are sixteen laboratories in
pertinent disciplines including: precision analysis, electro ceramics,
electronic package, functional ceramics, thin film, melting and
refining, metal fabrication, heat treatment, ceramic processing, sample
preparation, metallography, electronic microscope, physical property
measurement, thermal analysis and X-ray diffraction.
Good materials scientist and engineers are in demand in
various disciplines: electronic, electrical, mechanical, chemical,
metallurgical, semiconductor, biological and medical engineering. We are
always looking for few good people, so come and joint us. The department
can provide candidate opportunities to receive degrees and a good career
starting point in the fields of materials science and engineering.
