A career in chemical engineering offers
challenging and well-compensated positions
in electronics, pharmaceutical and biotechnology
industries including business consulting.
Graduates may supervise the operation
of chemical plants, redesign chemical
processes for pollution prevention,
or be involved in the research and development
of new products or processes in high
technology areas. In the petroleum industry,
for example, our national need for fuels
demands well-trained chemical engineers
in catalysis. A significant number of
chemical engineers are also hired by
industries associated with colloids,
polymers, and coatings. Moreover, exciting
new opportunities exist in biotechnology,
the computer industry, environmental
firms, display materials and consulting
companies.

Chemistry is the study of matter and
its change. This includes their composition,
the properties they exhibit, and the
changes they undergo when they react
with other substances. Chemistry and

Chemistry
is the study of matter and its change.
This includes their composition, the
properties they exhibit, and the changes
they undergo when they react with other
substances. Chemistry and advanced materials
is the systematic study of virtually
everything that occupies space and possesses
mass. The whole earth is made of chemicals,
as are all the other planets and the
stars. All living things on earth are
made of chemicals, and chemical reactions
sustain every single life you interact,
every thought that you think, every
opinion you form. All materials and
machines we construct are made out of
the chemicals available on earth, often
transformed by chemical reactions into
advanced materials that meet our specific
needs. So the study of chemistry and
advanced materials is the study of the
sun and stars, the earth, the sea, all
life, and all of machines. To fully
understand these things, you need to
understand some chemistry and materials
science, interdisciplinary study of
biology, physics, geology, chemical
engineering, medicine, and materials
sciences.
The
Chemistry program focuses on the education
and research in the field of chemistry
and its applications. Our mission is
to provide a coalescing and learning
experience for graduate students and
post-doctoral fellows in diverse research
groups dealing with analytical, biological,
inorganic, organic, physical, and polymer
chemistries. In addition, we provide
a set of tools to increase the level
of complexity and the research that
we can bring to bear on emerging problems
in nanotechnology, biotechnology, environmental
technology, and information technology.
With such efforts, our program maintains
excellence in education and research
in the field of chemistry and advanced
materials. These areas include medicinal,
natural product, computational, organometallic,
and physical organic chemistries, chemical
physics including experimental and theoretical
dynamics, materials sciences for organic-inorganic
hybrid materials, organic and inorganic
display materials, and synthesis and
reaction in the supercritical fluids.
Currently, 11 faculty members participate
in the undergraduate and graduate programs
and direct various research.
1) At least 130 course units of undergraduate
level credit including 49 unit of intensive
Chemistry and Advanced Materials courses
are required for the BS degree.
2) Students must fulfill presentation,
defense, and document requirements for
the Chemistry thesis committee.
3) A thesis advisor can be any faculty
member from the Chemistry department

Our
students have a variety of employment
choices. They can perform research and
development in national or cooperate
laboratories and industries, for instance,
in the field of classical chemistry
as well as diverse chemistry-related
areas such as nano-technology (NT),
bio-technology (BT), information technology
(IT), and environmental technology (ET).
Our excellent graduate program is also
open to all students who want in-depth
understanding of chemistry and materials
sciences.

Ecological

responsibility to find out, study, and
analyze the causes of pollution, and
then eventually present the ways to
reduce it through the study of theoretical
backgrounds and the research conducted
to cope with the environmental problems
such as ecological destruction, pollution
of water, air, soil, ocean, and waste
disposal. We determine the sources of
environmental pollutants and their dispersion
routes. With the data obtained from
this research, we analyze the effects
of these chemicals on our ecosystem
and try to find out how we can reuse
waste resources. We need to raise professional
experts to deal with these problems
and offer education both on fundamental
and applied fields in an effort to improve
our lives on our planet
The Department of Environmental Science
was established in 2006, splitting the
old Department of Environmental Science
and Engineering, which is one of the
oldest programs of environmental science
education and research in Korea. Founded
in 1979 as a program of education and
research in nature conservation, the
Department has steadily developed to
manage the quality of our water, soil,
air, and ecosystems as a whole, as well
as social, political, and legal aspects
of environmental processes. Especially
our graduate instruction is organized
into four programs Air Pollution, Water
Pollution, Waste Management, and Ecosystems
Conservation. The department is focusing
on training students to be capable and
creative environmental experts through
both theoretical and applied courses
dealing with complex environmental topics,
such as ecosystem destruction, air,
water, and soil contamination, and waste
problems. Therefore, the Department's
teaching program provides both the academic
and research backgrounds to include
the source, effect, fate, and transport
of various pollutants, and also provides
the control technologies to include
the process designs and operation, advanced
treatment and waste recycling techniques,
and clean technologies. The Ph. D. program
in the Graduate School has been offered
since 1989, and a special Doctoral program
in cooperation with local industries
has also been offered since 1994. Especially
the Environmental Teacher's Program
in the undergraduate level was approved
by the Ministry of Education in 1995.
Thus, the goal of the Department has
expanded to include multiple functions
to protect the earth by applying research
results, transferring sustainable environmental
technology to local industries, training
professional personnel, and cooperating
with foreign universities.
To receive the degree of B. Sc. in Environmental

Our students have an array of employment
choices after graduation. Many of our
students become researchers and professors
in national and private institutions
after getting a master's or doctoral
degree. Acquisition of national Environmental
Manager license is a big asset in starting
a career in management of pollution
control facilities or in evaluation
of environmental effects of pollutants.
Other choices are becoming a public
servant in the environmental field or
an environmental teacher in high school
after finishing all required teaching
profession courses.

works to protect and manage our air,
water, soil, ecosystems and energy resources.
Environmental engineers quantitatively
analyze the environmental changes that
unavoidably result from human activities,
design strategies to remedy problems,
minimize impacts, and measurably improve
our environment, combining fundamental
principles derived from physics, chemistry,
and biology with engineering principles.
We determine the causes of environmental
pollution and the dispersion of pollutants.
With the data obtained from research,
we analyze the harmful effects these
chemicals have on our ecosystem and
develop treatment technologies to reduce
these pollutants and reuse waste resources.
We offer education both on fundamental
and applied fields in an effort to improve
our lives on our planet.
