Department of Materials Science and Engineering
at National Tsing Hua University
Materials have played a major role in human development. All through the ages the materials we use have defined us, from stone, to ceramic, to brass and iron. In the modern age, as the materials we use become ever more sophisticated, it takes world- leading expertise to take materials research forward. Since it was founded in 1972, the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at National Tsing-Hua University has played this role.
NTHU-MSE was Taiwan’s first school of materials science and engineering, and is well-recognized for its outstanding research capabilities in a wide range of areas – including display technology, semiconductors, metals, ceramics, batteries, and polymers. As Taiwan’s top university, its alumni have had a major impact on the field.
