Development

The Department of Chemical Engineering was formed in 1971, offering a two-year junior college program. The department was upgraded to offer Bachelor of Science degree programs in 1999. The department was additionally renamed the Department of Chemical and Materials Engineering in 2005 to enhance the teaching and research standards of the department, as well as to strengthen the industry-academy cooperative relationship and promote the positive contribution to the overall education and research development.

In 2003, we established the Materials and Chemical Engineering Graduate Institute to recruit for the Master's degree Program.

In 2006, the Graduate Institute of Materials and Chemical Engineering was merged with the Department of Chemical and Materials Engineering as a single teaching and research unit. Starting from 2006, the department has been known as the Department of Chemical and Materials Engineering.

From 2008, in-service master degree program was offered for students who are full-time working at daytime. Presently, the faculty has 22 academic staffs, 4 administration staffs. The department now has 1050 students, including 985 undergraduate students and 65 master students.
