PROFILE

The Department was founded in 2008. Because sharp increase in greenhouse gas emission caused global warming and the subsequent environmental challenges, now the research and development of green energy demand immediate attention. The Department is focused on the development of renewable energy technologies, such as hydrogen, solar, fuel cell, biomass power, hydraulics and wind power, etc., and offers an outstanding environment for learning the energy discipline.
In response to evidence of global damage and diminishing reserves of fossil fuels, the ambition and goal of the department is to breed the students to become clean and renewable energy engineers or energy system engineers. There are few energy departments in Taiwan. However, the unique of this department is increasing pressure to intelligently manage the provision of energy from conventional non-renewable sources and to increase the supply from clean and renewable sources.

CURRICULUM
For undergraduate study, the Department has developed a curriculum to provide students with a broad base on which building an engineering career, the courses include both basic sciences and engineering sciences. To obtain the Bachelor degree of Energy Engineering, a student has to complete a minimum of 128 credit hours (including the 48 required credit hours and 38 credits of general education). The main study is to investigate and provide solutions of energy engineering problems from both the science and the engineering point of view.

FACULTIES
Faculty members are from a variety of diverse academic/technical backgrounds, such as chemical engineering, mechanical engineering and material science, etc. They have long experience of research and development in renewable energy engineering such as fuel cell, hydrogen, biomass, wind and solar powers.
