Introduction and Specialization
The Department of Advanced Materials Engineering fosters professionals by teaching the foundations of the industry including advanced industrial materials such as inorganic materials, electronics and semiconductors, structural and nano materials, environmental and biomaterials.
Our department has 19 laboratories and research offices to promote in-depth education in each area with the best 9 faculty members in the material and components field. Each room has enough experiments facilities for the materials and components research. The department also introduces advanced equipment and activities to build the best research environment
Research achievements from endless research efforts get recognized widely within the industrial-educational cooperation. Also, club activities in the department like “Good Cera” (cheerleading squad for the department), “Flite” (basketball circle), “Ceramian” (soccer circle), “Material Study”(major of material circle), “Yonyohoi” (circle for the females in the department) make good relations with students, alumni, and professors.
Graduates are systematically educated the major lectures like material science, nano-material engineering, advance material, electronic material, fission engineering, high temperature material, optical semiconductor material take a center stage in the various fields as professionals. Specifically, they work as researchers in KIST, Institute of Ceramics, Korea Electronics Technology Institute, Korea Institute of Construction Materials, and Korea Institute of Energy Technology. Furthermore, graduates are employed in companies such as Samsung Electro-Mechanics, Samhwa capacitors, Samsung Electronics, Hyundai Electronics, and LG Electronics and lastly in educational organizations to become professors and research members
