These complementary programme criteria apply to all of the material majors which are established in accordance with the regulations of the Ministry of Education and awarded the bachelor's degree in engineering.

　　1. Curriculum

　　a) To apply advanced science (such as physics and chemistry), computational techniques and engineering principles to materials systems.

　　b) To systematically understand and comprehensively apply the scientific and engineering principles underlying the four major elements of the field: structure, properties, synthesis and preparation (including technological processes), and applications (including performance) to the field of materials (including metallurgy).

　　c) To apply and integrate knowledge from each of the above four elements of the field using theoretical, experimental, computational, statistical and modeling methods to solve materials complex engineering problems including selection, design, process and parameter determination.

　　2. Faculty

　　The faculty expertise for the professional courses must encompass the four major elements of the field.
