The School of Applied Chemical Engineering was established in 2002 by combining the existing School of Chemical Engineering and School of Applied Chemistry to meet the changing demands on education and research from the chemical and related industries.  The chemical industry has progressively shifted its strategical target from the conventional large-scale production of commodities to the production of multi-species fine chemicals with high additive values.  Furthermore, the industry is striving to expand its business territory by incorporating the newly emerging technologies such as Bio Technology(BT), Environmental Technology(ET), Nano Technology(NT), and Information Technology(IT).

  To accomodate such worldwide trends into the education programs and research activities, the newly restructured School of Applied Chemical Engineering comprises the following six Major Programs: Chemical Engineering, Bio Engineering, Fine Chemistry, Polymer Engineering, Textile Engineering, and Photoelectron Materials.
