Program Characteristics
The International Bachelor Program in Engineering (IBPE) is founded in 2017. We emphasize basic educations and integrate resources between departments. At the same time, many excellent teachers will provide curriculum diversification in different fields. The characteristics of this program are described as follows.
To cultivate the student ability for international competitiveness
The development of a bilingual university is our primary goal. In order to achieve this target, we have started to promote English teaching in each class since 2002. Recently, in response to international trend, we specially launch the International Bachelor Program in Engineering (IBPE) so that the professional knowledge, foreign language skills, and international vision of students can be enhanced.
Furthermore, via many opportunities of attending international internships and exchange students, we try to build a complete model of the international teaching environment to cultivate the student ability for international competitiveness.
To foster the student to become interdisciplinary professional engineers
The program based on the student-oriented learning environment is provided for creating an engineering interdisciplinary learning platform and extending students’ knowledge.
Therefore, learning from multiple combinations of interdisciplinary programs can foster the student to become interdisciplinary professional engineers.
Curriculum Design
A「single major」or 「double major」program
The program can provide an undergraduate student who completes one or two sets of degree requirements. At the first year, students will choose the general engineering courses for gaining the general knowledge of engineering background. In the second to fourth years, according to personal interests, students can choose
one major as a「single major」from three fields (i.e., Department of Mechanical Engineering, Department of Chemical Engineering and Materials Science, and Department of Industrial Engineering and Management) or complete two sets of these three departments as a「double major」.
Broad Future
Cross-field learning is the current trend of development. Industry needs people which have the knowledge including machinery, aerospace, automotive, inorganic, polymer, semiconductor, electronics, energy, biology, biomedical, composite materials, etc. This program offers a series of basic theoretical knowledge, technical, and engineering related courses to the students from integrating three departments in the college of engineering in order to cultivate students to have a new technology integration capabilities.
For further study:
Students in this class, according to their areas of expertise, can apply for relevant research institutes at home or abroad, such as: mechanical, aerospace, chemical, material, biomedical engineering, and so on.
For future career:
Students in this class, according to their areas of expertise, can apply for relevant works at home or abroad, such as: semiconductor industry, printed circuit board industry, electronics manufacturing, machinery manufacturing, aerospace manufacturing, automobile manufacturing, food, textile Industry, and so on.
