The program pays great attention to the cultivation of students’ professional knowledge and engineering ability, covering a broad research fields, such as:

a. Materials Science (metallic, ceramic and polymer materials) to investigate the relationship between chemical composition- structure-processing and properties;

b. Materials Engineering (casting, plastic forming and welding technologies) to shape the desired materials into parts or components with acceptable performance/cost ratio;

c. Materials Physics and Chemistry to research the chemical methods for synthesizing new materials or physical properties of functional materials; materials design and computational materials science are also available in this field;

d. Materials Packaging to investigate the packaging design, manufacture and mechanical test of industrial products.

This is an inter-disciplinary research field combining art design, materials processing and computer simulation.
