The advent of the fourth industrial revolution calls for innovation in the development of new materials and process technology. The major in advanced materials and chemical engineering teaches advanced techniques in key areas of chemical materials and processes for the fourth industrial revolution.

Advanced materials is a discipline that provides education and research opportunities in chemistry-based material design, synthesis, and analysis, as well as fundamental physics, processes, and computational simulations, thereby enhancing students’ competency in related applications and multidisciplinary research. The primary areas of research under this major are: 1) molecular structure control materials, 2) information and electronic materials, and 3) green renewable energy materials.

The advanced materials major aims to foster creative talent in chemical materials through advanced, multidisciplinary research across industries, schools, and research institutes, so as to contribute to the development of novel materials for electronics, green energy, and biotechnology convergence industries.

The chemical engineering major is a new discipline that offers fundamental solutions, such as carbon recycling and greenhouse gas reduction in response to major threats to human survival in the 21st century, namely, environment pollution and global warming.

Carbon resourcification technology converts the existing chemical industry into a green industry, while greenhouse gas reduction technology reduces the emission of carbon dioxide to protect the environment. Biochemical technology combines environmental technology and biotechnology to efficiently control environmental processes that cause environmental pollution due to the use of petroleum. Students have opportunities to gain both theoretical knowledge and practical skills through research-oriented on-site education, and grow into creative research professionals who meet the diverse needs of industries.
