Six-year program to develop highly skilled researchers in the clean energy area

Our objective is to develop highly specialized professionals or researchers who can lead future research on clean energy and work internationally. During the six-year curriculum, students gain the opportunity from the first year to interact with faculty members of the Clean Energy Research Center, graduates, and corporate researchers, receiving special lectures.

Objective

Solving energy and environmental problems is a global issue. In order to contribute to the solution, the Clean Energy Research Center has carried out leading research on fuel cells, solar cells, and environmental measurements, recognized at home and abroad. Recently, the importance of educating engineers and researchers for energy-related industries, which will become our country’s most important industry, has been strongly emphasized at the national government level. Consequently, our university prepared a new program, the Clean Energy Special Education Program, and is educating highly specialized engineers and researchers who can internationally lead the area of clean energy technologies and research.

Entrance Examination

1) We will recruit and select five students for the Clean Energy Research Center.
2) The subjects for the university entrance examination center test and individual performance test, and its distribution of evaluation points for each test are the same as that for Applied Chemistry. In addition to these tests, an interview examination is also carried out, and the student is judged on his or her overall performance. Additionally, students are allowed to apply to the Department of Applied Chemistry as their second choice upon application.
3) The entrance examination for the Master’s program candidate is an interview test.

Curriculum

1) From their first year, students have the opportunity to interact with faculty members of the Clean Energy Research Center, graduates, and corporate researchers, and take special courses and seminars whenever necessary. In addition to these opportunities, students are allowed to start on their research from their third year. This allows the student to gain necessary abilities as a specialized engineer and researcher for the energy-related industries, which are becoming the country’s most important ones.
2) In graduate school, students experience internships at domestic/overseas companies, universities or laboratories. Students acquire the ability to select a theme for their Master’s thesis related to clean energy, from the basics to applications, and subsequently, the ability to complete state-of-the-art research and development in this area.

Graduation Requirement and Master’s Program Requirement

1)124 credit hours are required for graduation, and Basic Research I and II are mandatory instead of the graduation thesis.
2) 30 credit hours are required for completing the Master’s Program and a Master’s thesis is also required.
