Development Characteristics發展特色
Physics is exciting, intellectually challenging, and rewarding. Physics research covers a vast array of subjects, ranging from small nuclear particles to the evolution of nature and earth. It aims to understand our daily interactions with sound, light, magnetism, electricity, heat, etc. All research on the physical nature of these topics have provided humankind with a clearer understanding of space, material structure, and the evolving “chaotic” theory. Hence, physics plays a vital role in our daily lives.
Physics is closely tied to many other fields, such as electrical engineering, computer science, materials science, mechanical engineering, space engineering, civil engineering, chemistry, biotechnology, environmental studies, etc. We offer general physics courses to all undergraduates at the College of Science and College of Engineering. We also offer courses with affiliated departments, notably Electrical Engineering, Applied Mathematics, Applied Chemistry and the Institute of Biotechnology. These course offerings include solid state physics, laser theory, statistical physics, physical mathematics, atomic theory, spectrum analysis, polymer physics, biophysics, etc.
Department of Applied Physics at NUK was established in year 2002 and started to offer Master degree programs in year 2007. Our department is closely research-collaborated with correlated departments in National Sun Yat-Sen University, National Cheng Kung University, National Kaohsiung Normal University and I-Shou University in southern Taiwan. Physical research in our department gives priority to three fields: nanotechnology, optoelectronics, and magnetic and semiconductors. Both experimental and theoretical aspects of research are emphasized.

應用物理是將物理科學知識,針對國家科技發展的需要,作實際而有效的運用與提升。應用物理學系在2002年獲教育部核准成立,  並於2007年成立碩士班。本系與南部中山大學、成功大學、高師大以及義守大學等之相關學系均有緊密的研究交流與合作,以期共同建立南臺灣的凝態應用物理研究團隊。本校鄰近有台南科學園區、沙崙綠能科學城、路竹科學園區、楠梓科學園區以及高雄亞灣5G AIoT創新園區等,更有台積電所在的高雄橋科園區!鑑於目前國內外應用物理領域以及未來科技發展之趨勢,本系特依本系教師專長歸納出二個重點發展方向,分別為:奈米光電組以及固態材料組等二大領域,並且實驗與理論並重,從事多方跨領域的合作。

Goals發展目標
The Department is strongly committed to research in applied physics and the development of frontier technologies. Thus, the multidisciplinary undergraduate program aims to provide undergraduates with both fundamental knowledge and solid experimental experiences. Our faculty’s research is in many emerging fields, including magnetic and semiconductors, optoelectronic materials, nanoscience and nanotechnology. We also initiate close collaborations with industry that have provided students and faculty opportunities to contribute to product research and development.
The physics program at NUK gives students a deep foundation of knowledge and problem-solving ability on which they can build a variety of careers. Students are encouraged to participate in ongoing research projects. With the liberal arts education at NUK, students leave NUK with not only a complete physics foundation but also technical skills and management ability in preparation to be future leaders.

本系將朝向教育與研究緊密結合的目標發展,除了涵蓋「基本物理」領域的教學需求外,將著重「奈米光電」以及「固態材料」等方面的專業應用領域發展與研究,並積極加強與「產業界的合作與交流」,以開放及專業的校園學術氣息與週邊的產業環境資源融為一體,使學生有更多的機會實際地參與產業的發展。另外本著理論與實務並重的精神來培育國家未來的科技人才,使學生不但具有完整的物理理論基礎、專業知識和實務經驗與能力,並能夠融入高大在「管理」與「法律」方面優良文化傳統的薰陶,不但有能力擔任原理講解與技術的研發創新,也有很大的潛力能成為對國家社會有貢獻的成功經營人才。

Postgraduate Opportunities
Advanced Degree Study
 
Pursuing advanced degrees at graduate schools in Taiwan or abroad.
 
Teaching for high school, technical school, middle school, and elementary school (education credits are needed)
