College of Science理學院
homeWebsite
The College of Science has played an important role within the university since its inception. All the great universities in the world have one thing in common: an outstanding college of science. Without doubt, the College of Science at NUK meets this global standard. Our programs provide students and faculty with a challenging and stimulating learning, teaching, and research environment. In addition to basic research and teaching, we emphasize practical applications in sciences and technology to meet the needs of high technology. Using this framework, the College of Science was established in January, 2004, comprising of four departments and two institutes, listed below in chronological order:
| ► | Department of Applied Mathematics (BSc, 2000; MSc, 2006 and PhD, 2008) | |
| ► | Department of Applied Chemistry (BSc, 2001 and MSc, 2006) | |
| ► | Department of Life Sciences (BSc, 2001) | |
| ► | Department of Applied Physics (BSc, 2002 and MSc, 2007) | |
| ► | Institute of Statistics (MSc, 2003 and PhD, 2006) | |
| ► | Institute of Biotechnology (MSc, 2003) |
長期以來，理學院為一所大學必備的學院，任何一所國內外一流的大學，莫不擁有一流的理學院。
理學院訓練學生能以科學基本原理來解釋自然界的各種現象，若能再與實驗結果相結合，將可使學生日後投入於科技產業；或為高科技產業提供相關諮詢與服務時，有能力解決所面臨的困難。 現今，各大學理學院將不再侷限於純科學理論的探索，也不只是追求人類心智上的 滿足。除了顧及傳統科學基礎理論之教學與研究外，亦趨使大學科學教育能配合現 代科技產業的需求。從大學理學院訓練出來的學生，除了科學理論基礎完備外，亦能適應產業界的實務工作。
基於上述之理念，本校依序於2000年設立「應用數學系」、2001年成立「應用化學系」、「生命科學系」、2002年設置「應用物理學系」、「生物科技研究所」。待設立之基礎完備後，2003年設置「統計學研究所碩士班」、2006年設置「應用數學系與應用化學系碩士班」及「統計學研究所博士班」，2007年通過「應用數學系博士班」與「應用物理學系碩士班」之招生，以提昇科學學術研究質量，培育出更高科技的人才。除了前述設立之基礎規模外，期能於未來完成學系日間制博士班、跨領域學位學程及專業研究中心的建置，以符合科技教育國際潮流與產業需求。
除了前述設立之基礎規模外，院系所亦積極於未來幾年內能完成碩博士班〈如應化、應物、生科博士班)和跨領域專業學程及研究中心〈生物科技、綠色光電〉的建置，以符合國際潮流與產業需求。
※ 生命科學系與生物科技研究所於102年8月1日起，合併為生命科學系(碩士班)。
The College currently has 4 departments, 2 institutes, and 44 full-time faculty members. We faculty is young, energetic, and dedicated. Course design and faculty recruitment have concentrated on applied science. Courses at the College are taught with a powerful balance between theory and real-world application. Hence, the faculty not only provides academic expertise, but also hopes to develop the students into good citizens and future leaders by helping them attain their goals in life through personal care and attention.
The College achieves this by:
| ■ | Modernization |
|
It collaborates in high tech areas, such as nano-technology, biotech, computing, and statistical consulting, to establish a complete program across the University’s many departments.
|
|
| ■ | Industry and Application |
| Our unique “applied” approach involves collaboration with industries to meet the needs of high tech fields. | |
| ■ | Creativity and Competitiveness |
|
It develops creative teaching methods using high-tech teaching tools such as 3D interactive courses. Students compete in science competitions and fairs to showcase learning and teaching results.
|
|
| ■ | Globalization and Exchange |
|
Outstanding faculty demonstrate teaching techniques, attend interdisciplinary basic science teaching camp to improve teaching quality, and increasingly use English in the classroom to prepare for globalization.
|
|
| ■ | Regionalization |
|
It sponsors science teacher camp (targeting vocational, middle, and high school teachers) and science camp (targeting middle and high school students).
|
Goals and Future Outlook
To establish further undergraduate as well as graduate degree programs, independent institutes, and research centers in the next five years in response to the growing needs of industry.
► To incorporate resources across and beyond the University’s departments and colleges to enhance research and teaching.
► To develop well-rounded students using cutting-edge laboratories, other facilities, and courses.
► To improve traditional and create new methods of science teaching through high-tech tools and methods.
► To enhance web and on-line teaching resources through improved electronics and courseware.
► To promote lifelong learning and development for students and faculty.
