  The major in chemical engineering pursuits the train of high class chemical engineer engaged in the design and operation of chemical plant and the research and development in chemical industry. The latest chemical industry has been changed rapidly to the high efficiency, high accuracy and systematization of processes, especially the objective of education is emphasized on training the competent person with the broad ability of application to adapt such a change. Therefore the curriculum of the major is composed of reaction engineering, separation processes, chemical thermodynamics, computer application, chemical engineering design and chemical engineering lab to have the students learn the basic knowledge in this major and the other special project.

  Polymers are ubiquitous and pervasive in industry, science, and technology. These giant molecules have significance not only in terms of products such as plastics, films, elastomers, fibers, adhesives, and coatings but also less obviously though none the less importantly in many leading industries (aerospace, electronics, automotive, biomedical, etc.). The objective of our academic functions is the practical application of scientific and engineering principles to generate new material and processing concepts and enhance technical problem solving capabilities related to the production and use of polymers. The department is dedicated to producing high quality graduates equipped to make significant contributions to the quality of life by their contributions to the engineering profession.

  Textile engineering is an applied science including manufacturing process of fiber products from raw materials, physical and chemical characterizations of the fibers.
  Recently, textile engineering is closely related to IT, BT, NT, ET industries and the manufacturing, properties and application fields of high-tech new advanced fibers which are the high-touch fibers(iridescent, skin-like, chameleonic etc.), the high-tech fibers(intelligent, high-separation function, biomimetic function, new-frontier etc.) the super-function fibers(aviation, space, civil, ocean. medical, sports, information, technical etc.).
  The important subjects of textile engineering are textile physics, man-made fibers, dyeing chemistry, textile function design, fiber formation engineering, textile environmental science, geosynthetics, fiber assembly engineering, textile engineering experiment etc..

  Fine chemicals engineering- Pursuing Engineering of Molecular Chemistry and New Materials and New Performance Products
  Fine Chemicals Engineering Department is a strong combination of molecular chemistry and chemical engineering to produce the fine and special chemicals based on the end-users needs. Fine chemicals are specific molecules of high value, typically produced in low volumes and sold at high prices. Fine and special chemicals include biologically active products such as drugs, pesticides, and costumes and functionally active products such as dyes, pigments, additives, catalysts, and electronic and photographic products. This department pursues excellent in teaching and research on fine and special products. To meet these goals, faculty members encourages students to have a creative idea about design and preparation of new chemicals and advanced materials. This major curriculum is bearing the special subject such as fine chemical materials, organic synthesis, purification of chemicals, and experimental analysis to match future chemical industrys needs, focusing on the molecular design and synthesis, product design and production, and separation and purification.

  Our educational objective in this major is to prepare students for an engineering career centered around the chemical and physical processes required in photonics, microelectronics, and energy industries. Keeping in pace with the challenging opportunities afforded to chemical engineers in these industries, the curriculum of this major emphasizes materials chemistry and materials processing, based on the basic principles in chemical engineering, such as: transport phenomena, thermodynamics, and chemical reaction engineering. Through the curriculum, students will receive the training necessary in preparing them for successful industrial careers or for advanced study.
