Chemical Engineering

The Department enrolls 55 students each year, with a student/faculty ratio of approximately 9:1. The emphasis of training is on “quality”. Each student receives guidance in choosing a training program from his/her faculty advisor and senior students.  In addition to regular training courses, the students, through students associations, are encouraged to participate in extracurricular activities such as field trips, Chemical Engineering Week, Summer Camp for future chemical engineers (high school students), etc.

 　　Chemical engineering training programs in recent years have been undergoing critical review and changes all over the world. The Department has made adjustments in training program to provide students with the flexibility in selecting their own fields of interest but retain the unique ability of chemical engineers to analyze and integrate processes. A total of 128 credits is required for graduation.

The courses offered to undergraduate are divided into A and B. Group A includes 30 credits of general require courses for all students, 31 credits of required courses for engineering students, and 58  credits of chemical engineering basic courses such as fundamental chemistry, material and energy balance, transport phenomena and unit operation, thermodynamics, reaction engineering, process control and process design.  Courses in Group B are chemical engineering selectives.  The Department has designed several course packages that contain a series of courses in a specific area.  The purpose is to help students to develop their own professional interest systematically.  The current packages include: (a)Polymer Science & Engineering,(b)Advanced Materials, (c)Advanced Process Technology, (d)Energy & Environmental Tech., (e)Biotechnology.
