Introduction

Department of polymer science and engineering - (Graduate course)

Our polymer science and engineering department plans to lead changes in this field in the 21st century by focusing on the polymeric materials for various existing industrial fields and further strengthen our academic curriculum and research facilities. In the near future, our department will re-establish our leadership position in research and education in the college of engineering through aggressive research activities and closer co-operation with private sector companies.

introduction

Our department's pre-imminent position was recognized by being selected as a specialized research team within SKKU. Our students can easily stay abreast of pioneering technologies and research methods through the enthusiastic lectures of our professors and their personal supervision for individual students. The success of our students in the future strictly will of course depend on their individual dedication, aggressive attitude and enterprising spirit, however, our department can offer the students all the necessary means to meet the challenges in this field.

Our department has the largest and most well established Polymer Science and Engineering Program in the country. Polymers are widely used in the manufacture of products that we use in our daily lives. The companies that manufacture these products have a need for engineers that understand how polymer materials behave so that these products can be designed, tested and manufactured. This program is designed to prepare a graduate for a professional career as a Engineer or Researcher. Since the opening of our department, graduates have been employed by various companies in Korea, including electronics, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and automobile manufacturers as well as major petrochemical and plastic manufacturer.
