In recent years, the chemical industry is moving toward the
development and manufacture of new functional materials and environmentally-friendly technology. Much research involving the ingenious functions of organisms is being carried
out. In order to meet the demands of the new branches of chemistry and chemical innovations in this field, engineers with more advanced skills and a more extensive knowledge are desperately needed. There are two courses offered in our department: “Material Engineering,” which focuses on the exploitation and manufacture of new materials, and “Applied Biochemistry,” which focuses on the production of substances using biotechnology. With practical training at the laboratory, engineers with a strong base of engineering knowledge and advanced skills are being produced.
