Engineering Degree Program in China - Material Physics

1. Introduction

Material Physics is characterized with the directions of semiconductor physics, electronic materials, microelectronic devices fields, focusing on the cultivation of students' application ability and innovation ability of developing new electronic materials and microelectronic device processing, analysis and design. Material physics is a new interdisciplinary subject which provides the structure, properties and properties of materials from the physical principles. It mainly focuses on new energy and new functional materials.

Material physics program provides systematic study of the basic theory, basic knowledge and basic skills of physics, materials science, materials chemistry and material physics and basic training of thinking and skills in materials exploring, preparation and synthesis, and material processing, material structure and property can determination and materials application of professional training. To help students master materials physics and related basic knowledge, the basic theories and experimental techniques, with the basic ability of using the basic theory, basic knowledge and experimental skills of physics and material physics for materials research and technology development, can become innovative talents in materials science and engineering and related disciplines (material, physics, chemistry, biology, medicine, etc.), or in the corresponding field in materials physics research, teaching, application and development.
