Curriculum
Undergraduate: Students must acquire a minimum of 148 credits before they can earn their B.S. degree. Out of the 148 credits, 18 are earned on the completion of a one-year-long internship with either a company or a research institute in related fields.
Master's: Students need to earn 27 credits including 3 required ones, addition to their master's thesis.
Currently, all of our faculty members are engaged in the research on thin film materials, nanoscience and nanotechnology, and plasma technology.
The applications of these research are found in industries relating to electronics, opto-electronics, magnetic storage, semiconductors, biotechnology, plasma technology, mechanical engineering, and surface technology.
Government and industry funding for the department is increasing dramatically in recent years, so is the number of papers published by the department in related SCI journals is also increasing quite significantly.
