Life, Environmental & Pharmaceutical Engineering The School of Life Science and Environmental Chemical Engineering combines Food Technology, Environmental Chemical Engineering, and Pharmaceutical Engineering to meet the 21st century's request in which life science and environmental industry will be among the leading industrial fields. Food science is a multi-disciplinary science which applies chemistry, microbiology, engineering, nutrition, toxicology, and other basic and applied sciences to problems related to the production, preservation, processing, distribution, evaluation, safety, and utilization of food. The environmental Chemical Engineering Major studies environmental problems, an urgent subject that we are facing. This major approaches the questions of how to solve environmental problems based on various chemical processes. Pharmaceutical Engineering Major provides students with the specialized knowledge and experimental skills required for a variety of careers in the pharmaceutical industry. Although the major does not lead to a career as a pharmacist, students will be a trained chemist possessing skills in the design, synthesis, evaluation and development of biologically active molecules. Students also will be well prepared for postgraduate study, including medicine. Food Science & Technology Major [Go to Homepage]   Current society requires diversification of food resources and new type of processed foods. Therefore, it is necessary to bring up the experts who will take care of the trend. This major provides not only the knowledge of the food technology and science which has been developed as society has been industrialized, but also prepares students to have positive mind and practical experience through related extracurricular activities. Environmental Chemical Engineering Major [Go to Homepage]   Chemical engineers convert raw materials and wastes to finished products via pathways involving both chemical and physical changes. The principles of mass, energy, and momentum conservation, chemical reactions, thermodynamics, and economics are utilized in designing and operating large-scale manufacturing processes. These principles are in turn based on the sciences of chemistry, physics, mathematics, and biology which form the underlying foundation of the discipline.
