The undergraduate courses are arranged into several modules. With the aid of this design, the students can understand crisply the categorization of the teaching contents, track their own learning progress and can further evaluate their own capabilities and interest, providing flexibility for the following course selection and for the future career plan.

For the introductory courses we aim on basic science of all types of materials, i.e. metal, ceramic, polymer, and semiconductor, to establish the solid foundation for future study in materials. For the lab courses, we realize the importance of the courses bridging between theory and application, so we strive to provide students with hand-on experiences through these courses. We have recently added the course of semiconductor lab, in addition to the existing courses of metal lab and ceramic lab. This course is one of our unique offers distinguishing our department from others.

Our department also offer joint program with department of optoelectronic engineering department. The program is called optoelectronic materials and devices for renewable energies, providing students with cross-department study. This is another unique offer by our department.

For the graduate study, we focus on the application of materials, in addition to the basic science, in the course design, in order to nurture talents with compatibility in the application of materials.

With the understanding that development in this field is ever-evolutionary, and the business and industry types are constantly changing, we are confident that the well trained students from our department are well equipped to adapt the environment, and are able to face the challenges in their future career.
