The Department of Materials Science and Engineering (MSE) at National Dong Hwa University began with MS program in 1997. The undergraduate program was started in 2000, and the Ph.D. program in 2002. Currently, our department has been developed into a fully integrated department with 14 full-time and 4 adjunct faculties.
Materials Science and Engineering is an interdisciplinary field. Materials science studies the fundamental physical and chemical basis for the controlled combination of atoms to form new compounds, phases, and microstructures, as well as the characterization of the resulting structures and properties. Materials Engineering focuses on the synthesis of materials in useful quantities, and on the processing of component materials into engineering products. Materials engineering draws heavily on the fundamental knowledge gained from materials science, and adapts the processes involved for the scale and requirements of the application. There is a rich interplay between the science and engineering aspects. Basic studies frequently find ways to improve the properties of materials, and goal-oriented engineering often reveals aspects of performance that challenge the basic understanding.
A major goal of the Department is to educate students with abilities for scientific and engineering leadership. They will develop knowledge for conducting the next generation technologies, which are also essential for solving societal and environmental issues. The research academic programs unify all classes of materials and processing, including introductory courses and advanced courses in metals, ceramics, polymers, composites and electronic materials and characterization
The MSE educational and research program is interdisciplinary, focusing on all materials - ceramics, electronic materials, metals, minerals and polymers, among others - and their composites. Analytical facilities at the nanotechnology research center support department researchers as well as other universities and industries.
The world today is in the midst of a materials revolution, the outcome of which will affect the economic well-being of all nations and all industries. For example, smaller and faster devices in the electronics industry are the results of advanced materials processing. The MSE graduates are highly demanded by industry and research. They are demanded in the field of high-tech industries, i.e. microelectronics and packaging, telecommunications, optoelectronics, and micro-machining. MSE graduates are also employed in conventional industries such as ferrous and non-ferrous metallurgy and their processing, electronic materials, electrical materials, powder metallurgy, ceramics, glass, cement, etc. MSE graduates could also seek opportunities in manufacturing industries range from energy, automobile, aircraft, shipbuilding, machinery, to national defense and environmental protection. Many MSE graduates continue pursuing advanced degrees and getting involved in advanced materials research. In the foreseeable future, the role of the materials scientists and engineers will become more and more important.
