Department of Chemical and

Materials Engineering

Introduction
Department of Chemical and Materials Engineering was established in 1963 when the university was founded. At
present, the department offers a Bachelor’s degree, Master's degree, and Ph.D. degree programs. With over 10,000
alumni in Taiwan and overseas, the department has earned a very good reputation in both the academic and the
industry.
The teaching performance and research achievements are outstanding. This department has been ranked among the top
performance of all departments in the university in recent years.
All the academic programs have passed the accreditation of engineering education programs of Institute of Engineering
Education Taiwan (IEET).

Programs

Excellent Faculty
The department has about 30 full-time faculty members. The faculty of this department not only has extensive
knowledge and abundant practical experience in the field of chemical and materials engineering, but also has high
enthusiasm in teaching and research. Their goal is to enhance students’ ability in the practice and theory of chemical
and materials engineering.
At present, there are around 850 students for all programs. There are around 670 students study for Bachelor degree,
around 180 students study for Master degree, and 3 students study for Doctoral degree.
Research Topics
The faculty members are very active in research. Their activities cover many fields of traditional chemical engineering
and those related to technologies in polymers, ceramics, electronic materials, nanomaterials, pollution control, fine
chemicals, biochemical engineering and biomaterials.
Featured Laboratories
The department has Public Laboratories for undergraduate students, such as Chemistry Laboratory, Instrumental
Analysis Laboratory, Chemical and Materials Laboratory, and so on.
Also, there are more than ten Certification Laboratories for post-graduate students to research, such as Bionic
Technology Laboratory, Organic Materials Science Laboratory, Catalyst and Energy Materials Laboratory, Functional
Polymers Laboratory, and so on.
Furthermore, there are some Precision Instruments in experiment and research rooms for research: Scanning Electron
Microscope (SEM), X-ray Diffractometer, Inductively Coupled Plasma Spectroscopy(ICP), Differential scanning
calorimetry (DSC), Differential Thermal Analyzer(DTA) and Thermogravimetric Analyzer(DTA), Dynamic
Mechanical Analyzer (DMA), Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrophotometer (GC-MASS), Fourier-transform infrared
spectroscopy (FTIR), Ultraviolet/Visible Spectrophotometer(UV/Vis), Fluorescence Spectrometer, etc.
Graduates' Employment and Development

Students of Department of Chemical and Materials Engineering can continue their studies in the foreign or domestic
doctoral and master’s programs in chemical engineering, materials, environmental engineering, biochemical science
and technology, biomedical engineering, chemistry, and management-related department. Our students also can work in
a wide variety of fields in a high salary range. For example, they can work in the public or private enterprises in the
petrochemical industry, semiconductor industry, photovoltaic industry, polymer material industry, environmental
protection industry, pharmaceutical industry, medical industry, energy industry, and other public and private enterprises.
Their works may involve process planning and design, production management and product development. The
graduates of this department have outstanding performance in both their continuing study and jobs. This department has
integrated the relevant expertise of teachers and cooperated with as many as hundreds of companies, such as Formosa
Plastic, LCY Chemical, Advanced Semiconductor Engineering, Taiwan Prosperity Chemical, WUS Printed Circuit,
Flexium Interconnect, Qinpu Technology, Microcosm Technology, San Fang Chemical Industry, Goldsun Group and
other companies in Taiwan and abroad.
