School of Biotechnology and Chemical Engineering

Biotechnology is a broad term that applies to all practical uses of living organisms containing plants, animals, and microorganisms as well as biological processes to create human benefit. For example, biotechnology is used to produce some valuable foods, pharmaceuticals, test for diseases, and remove waste. Rapid progress over the last quarter of the 20th century is due to the expectation that the development of new technologies can produce various compounds beneficial to the daily lives of human beings and in preserving the environmental health of the earth. It is utilizing the sciences of biology, chemistry, physics, engineering, computers, and information technology to develop tools and products that hold great promise and concern.

The major of Chemical Engineering has the educational aim to study the knowledge about manufacturing process of chemicals and operations for the conversion of raw materials into final products and to cultivate creativity and a challenging spirit toward new things. To reach this goal, the department presents a curriculum that centers on teaching the basics in mathematics, physics and chemistry, which form the basis of natural science and on helping students to experiment and practice. The spectrum of research and educational opportunities in our department also includes environmental engineering, chemical reaction engineering, particle technology, electrochemical engineering, biochemical engineering, semiconductor processing, polymer and material engineering. The major has produced engineers who have greatly contributed to the nation's industrial development as some of sophisticated experts in inorganic and organic industrial fields including petrochemicals, fertilizers, acid-alkali, rubber, synthetic fibers, biosensor, fine chemicals, ceramics and fine polymers.

The Department has a vision to be a viable target for students who wish to pursue a degree program in biotechnology, and to undertake and produce research of an international quality. The teaching activities in the Department are very well supported by dedicated faculty members responsible for large number of courses. Also, Graduates may pursue careers in public or private research institutes, biotech companies, graduate or medical schools, and chemical plants.
