Department of Polymer and Fiber System Engineering

Department of Polymer & Fiber System Engineering

The School of Applied Chemical Engineering was established in 2002 by combining the existing faculty of the School of Chemical Engineering with the faculty of the School of Applied Chemistry to meet the changing demands on education and research as dictated by the chemical and chemical-related industries. The chemical industry has progressively shifted its strategic target from the conventional large-scale production of commodities to the production of multi-species fine chemicals with high additive values. Furthermore, the industry is striving to expand its business territory by incorporating the newly emerging technologies such as Bio Technology (BT), Environmental Technology (ET), Nano Technology (NT), and Information Technology (IT).

To accommodate such worldwide trends into the education programs and research activities, the newly restructured faculty of Applied Chemical Engineering comprises the following five majors: Chemical Engineering, Fine Chemicals, Polymer Engineering, Textile Engineering, and Photonic and Electronic Materials.

Graduates obtain employment in chemical plants (oil refinery, petrochemical, fertilizer, synthetic resin, oil and fat, food industry, inorganic chemistry, explosives, cement, glass, dye, rubber, paint, pulp and paper, metal, and smelting) in all parts of the cod try including the Yeocheon and Ulsan districts, thermoelectrical and nuclear powerplants, steel mills, photoelectron fields (semiconductor component/equipment, LCD, and photo component manufacturing), textile-related fields, sales fields for trading companies, pharmaceutical fields, cosmetics fields, polymer-related fields, research institutes, and the civil service.
