Industrial Circle
The application of materials is very extensive. The so-called "Materials is the mother of industry" denotes the idea that whether in high-tech or traditional industries, materials all serves as the basis. Therefore, the development after graduating from the department of materials can be various and abundant, from the traditional industries such as steel, plastics, textile, paper and mechanics, to the electronical industries such as photoelectrics, panel, semi-conductor, information and communication technologies, even to industries like aerospace, sports equipment, new energy, medicine, chemical examinations...etc. These areas are all in need of talents with a materials-related background.
