The Features of the Development
The goal of the physical department is to train basic science manpower, and actively cultivate national excellent students with expertise and ethics to fit the present trend of development of industrial diversification and national research development. In addition to strengthen the traditional courses of science theory, the curriculum is also focusing on practical dimension of science researches to develop students’ abilities involving expertise and humanity.
The goal for undergraduates is to develop the general science literacy for future research and creation. As for postgraduate students, the goal is to develop their abilities to participate academic and industrial areas. In such a high-tech society, the department of physics is the subject can be applied to various fields. Except for continuing studies in physics, manpowerin the relevant physical fields is also needed by semiconductor industry, optical industryand etc.
The Department has excellent and experienced full-time teaching staff and devoted itself to the development of nanotechnology electro-optical semiconductor, and related research in the direction of theoretical physics.
