Convergence Materials Science and Engineering
Introduction
Materials science and engineering is not only an independent field of study dedicated to the research and development of core industrial materials for the 21st century, but also a convergent program with bio/medical science, combining science and technology to produce concrete results. The program is aimed at educating specialists in the field of next-generation medical equipment.
The curriculum provides an in-depth look at the fundamental theories of materials science, while incorporating various experiments with biomedical engineering, materials and devices, and production processes. Based on their knowledge of basic science, engineering and advanced technology, graduates of the program will become global leaders in the core industries of the future including biotechnology and the 4th Industrial Revolution.
