Development Characteristics
The National University of Kaohsiung (NUK) is located in the Nan-Tzu district of Kaohsiung City, Taiwan.
The Department of Applied Chemistry was established in the year of 2001, only one year after the university was founded. In the fall of 2010, there will be approximately 200 full-time students enrolled in graduate and undergraduate programs. After graduating, students pursue their post-graduate degrees either in Taiwan or overseas, while some students start their chemistry career in the vast opportunities in government, semiconductor, or pharmaceutical companies.
The master’s program was initiated in 2007 with a total of 30 students. Currently there are 11 full-time faculty members with an excellent history of research, industrial project collaborations and teaching excellence. Some of the professors provide lectures in English which enables our students to read current chemistry literature faster with increased comprehension.
A function of the Department of Applied Chemistry is to support the increasing demands of the chemical related workforce of both the Taiwanese government and the local industries. In addition, we aim to establish fruitful collaborations between companies in the Southern Taiwan Science Park (STSP) and the greater Kaohsiung area. Since many of the companies in the STSP are developing electronics, optoelectronics, and biotechnological products, they will require many well trained and well rounded chemists. Our goal is to provide these companies with highly marketable, well trained chemists ready to contribute to their teams.
As the traditional chemical industries (for example: petroleum, metallurgy, and plastics) in the greater Kaohsiung area are increasing their research and development teams, the need for students with advanced degrees in rapidly increasing demand, but the supply is low. With the collaboration of local industries, we have developed our academic curriculum which is focused on training young chemists that can complete independent research and development projects.
Part of this Applied Technologies curriculum includes courses that include but is not limited to electronic, optoelectronic, and biotechnology courses. In addition, the Applied Technologies curriculum offers several intramural courses for the students such as courses offered in green manufacturing and chemistry, bioinorganic chemistry, nanotechnology, semiconductor processing, advanced materials, and material chemistry.
高雄大學為一綜合型大學，位於高雄市楠梓加工區旁。西元2023年高雄大學應用化學系將邁入第21年的招生，本系目前在學學生總數約230名(包含大學部以及碩士班)。大學部畢業校友，大部份繼續就讀於國內化學或材料相關研究所。也有部分校友在國外讀研究所，或就職於公家單位、半導體、製藥企業、化學相關企業。應用化學系碩士班大部份畢業後於化學相關業界或研究單位就職。碩士班學生除了少數是由本系大學部學生繼續留下就讀外，其他來自各大專院校或科技大學。師資方面，本系擁有十二位具國內外大學博士學位專任教師，且大部分有國內外業界經歷。教師群在課堂中除了教授基本的化學知識外，同時更可以就之前的業界經驗教授相關知識，以便對未來工作有更深入的了解。
應用化學是個結合基礎知識與實用技術的學門，為化學與相關產業領域等高科技發展的橋樑，也是化學向外延伸的觸角，為提昇高科技不可或缺的一環。化學學門的發展具有悠久的歷史，它在科學與科技領域中佔有著相當重要的中樞地位，其學術研究成果推動科技進展，對於人類有著重要的貢獻。而應用化學系碩士班的設立是為了加強學術理論的深度與廣度，以實用與理論並行為原則，作為聯繫基礎科學研究及教學和產業等科技發展的橋樑，以期培養優秀化學應用人才為目的。在學術研究及教學之基礎上，特別著重化學教育在化學產業應用的銜接，適時適地的以化學產業人才培與與化學產業關鍵技術研發為特色，培養學生跨領域與創新能力，高素質之化學產業應用與創新研發人才。
地緣優勢條件下，本系透過高雄地區國際化學產業公司協助下，結合教育與產業資源，採取階層式課程架構、產學協同教學、多元教學、整合學程教學方式，培育學生之專業能力、溝通表達、合作創新與知行合一核心能力，培育化學創新人才，期能促進台灣化學產業新一波創新與發展，提升我國在國際上的競爭力及學術地位。
本系設立的宗旨，主要為配合政府產業政策與符合地方需求，培養優秀化學應用人才。南部科學園區主要目標產業為電子、光電及生物科技等最具發展潛力項目，這些行業都需要化學人才參與。目前台灣最主要的傳統化學工業大都分佈於大高雄地區，值此化學工業逐漸衰退之際，極需要化學人才的投入協助改進產製過程、提昇競爭力。應用化學系所設計的課程與研究主要目的為，一方面為產業培育優秀的人才，一方面加強產學合作直接面對產業界的問題。因此本系未來將朝向教學和研究及與產業應用緊密結合的目標發展。
The central dogma of chemistry related academic departments are focused on teaching basic chemistry and carrying our fundamental research projects. In addition, chemical industries in Taiwan have relied on foreign know-how for the production of fine chemicals and high-value added products, often without using the best regional solution. Without the support from academia, industries are facing difficulties remaining competitive. Therefore, the industrial setting will require a synergistic relationship with the academic community that will concentrate on application oriented research projects of today’s world instead of focusing on fundamental research problems.
Therefore, the research topics conducted in our department include
| ■ | Advanced Material Processing: |
|
Preparation and characterize nanomaterial and semiconductor material, preparation and applications of high efficient battery material, and research on biocatalytic materials.
|
|
| ■ | Material Chemistry: |
|
Developing new analytic procedures for improving the material analysis during the semiconductor manufacturing process (including Chemical Vapor Deposition, Lithography Process).
|
|
| ■ | Research in Chemistry: |
| Bioinorganic Chemistry, Theoretical Chemical Dynamics, Organic and Inorganic Synthesis. |
位於南台灣傳統產業的大本營又緊鄰台南和路竹科學園區，未來肩負著為社會、為產業培育人才，以及加強產學合作、協助傳統產業升級、為高科技產業育成的重大責任。本系的教學與研究均配合二十一世紀高科技產業的需求，以適應產業的實務工作。除了基本化學課程外，配合電子、光電、及生物科技等重點產業的發展，著重於合成化學、材料化學及環境藥物分析化學等應用課程的教學與研究。相信經本系訓練出來的學生必將是產業界、學術界極力爭取的人才。化學相關系所畢業的學生一直都是學界或業界是所需求的，舉凡化學品、石油化學、環保、半導體、電子、資訊、材料、生化、製藥、食品、能源等產業之製造與研發；技術趨勢分析；教肓及政府機構等發展；工作性質包括化學研究員、化學分析師、品質管制員、環保分析師、製程工程師、化學工程師、專利分析師、產業分析師、化學教師及其他等，出路廣泛。
Future Outlook
Our University is centrally located in southern Taiwan’s traditional industrial region, and is adjacent to the Tainan Science Park. With this geographical advantage, the Department will play a vital role in producing caring communities and vibrant economies by nurturing future leaders, establishing collaborations between industry and academia, and assisting in the transformation of traditional industries.
Undergraduate Curriculum
The minimum requirement for graduation is 128 credits, including 65 credits in the core courses. The design of the academic program includes not only the basic training in chemistry but also the ability of many elective courses (grouped as intramural courses) such as green and nanotechnology, green chemistry, semiconductor processing, advanced material processing, and material chemistry programs.
