Introduction

School of Chemical Engineering concentrates on educating students to make professionals required in the display industries, which are now the nation's most important industries, chemical, IT·energy and Biomaterial. For meeting these requirements, school of chemical engineering established four majors, which are Major of Polymer & Biomaterials, Major of Chemical Engineering Systems, Chemical Engineering for Convergence and Chemical Engineering for energy.

The school is currently composed of twenty seven full-time professors, three honorary professors, sixteen international research professors, seven adjunct professors and six staffs. Their job is to train students to make ready-to-work engineers for the chemical, IT·energy, bio materials, and display industries as well as other conventional chemical and materials-related industries.

All these efforts resulted in the Korea's first engineering education program accredited by ABEEK (Accreditation Board for Engineering Education of Korea) in 2001. Since then, a lot of students have been educated in the most upgraded Korean engineering education system. Since 2007, graduates from this ABEEK program are acknowledged internationally in the most developed countries. Therefore, the door is wide open for them to prominent Korean or international companies. Furthermore, in 2004, this school was selected as one of the Korean Government-supported New University Regional Innovation(NURI) programs, receiving one billion won each year for the last five years to support the regional display industry technically and to supply well-trained engineers. More than 40% of students have been recipients of scholarships and the educational equipments and facilities have been upgraded to become one of the most prominent chemical engineering departments in the nation. In 2009, the school became the axis of four-departments coalition and was selected as the Green Energy Leading Regional-Industry Research and Education Center.

School of Chemical Engineering has achieved a lot of goals not only in its undergraduate program but also in its graduate program. About 86 graduate students including both M.S. and Ph.D. courses are studying in various research fields. The graduate program of the school has also made a rapid progress by being selected as the Korean Government-supported 2nd stage Brain Korea 21st Century (BK21) program on display materials(2006~2013) and BK21 Plus program on IT·energy materials and processing(2013~2020). About 33% of the graduate students are from abroad and about 61% of graduate courses are being taught in English. Note that all the full-time students receive a full scholarship. Research covers every state-of-the-art technologies closely related to NT, IT, ET and BT which are expected to lead the 21st century.

This school was established as the Department of Applied Chemistry in Daegu University (one predecessor of Yeungnam University) in 1947, which was the second time in chemical engineering (or similar) department in Korea. In 1967, it became the Department of Chemical Engineering. From it the Department of Applied Chemistry (later Department of Industrial Chemistry) was separated but was unified into School of Chemical Engineering and Technology in 1996, which was re-named to School of Chemical Engineering in 2004. For more than 60 years, it has graduated more than 6,000 students, forming an axis of chemical engineering in Korea.
