Materials science is the study of solid-state matter, focusing on four key areas: 1. Atomic and crystal structure, 2. Phase equilibrium, 3. Microstructure, 4. Material analysis. By understanding these fundamental principles, we can design, manufacture, enhance, and apply various materials across diverse fields.

The faculty research areas in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering (MSE) encompass metals, ceramics/glass, semiconductors, polymer materials, and process simulation. Senior students have the opportunity to participate in industry internships, allowing them to gain hands-on experience while earning a salary. These internships not only help students accumulate valuable work experience but also provide insight into future career paths. Graduate students engage in research both on campus and at institutions such as the Taiwan Semiconductor Research Institute and the National Institutes of Health, further expanding their expertise and professional development.

The faculty of the Department of Materials Science and Engineering (MSE) has secured a total of NT$ 300,000,000 of research funding and consistently publishes high-quality papers, ranking among the top departments at NUU. Each year, research funding exceeds tens of millions, contributing to continuous improvements in research facilities and providing students with valuable hands-on research experience.

The Department of MSE offers a focused and supportive academic environment, making it an ideal place for students to study. A high percentage of undergraduates choose to pursue further education, with over 50% entering graduate school annually. Reports indicate that MSE graduates receive competitive salaries, reflecting strong demand in the job market and employers' willingness to offer higher salaries for skilled professionals. Typically, the starting salaries for undergraduate and graduate students are around NT$40,000 and NT$50,000, respectively, with many securing positions in leading industries.
