Polymer Engineering and Rubber Industrial Technology

Polymer and rubber materials play an important role in our daily lives and are widely used and applied in all industrial sectors such as electronics, automotive, and medical devices. Polymer Engineering and Rubber Industrial Technology is a cooperative education program combining intensive theories and practices to improve students’ knowledge, skills, and abilities, particularly in polymer and rubber materials. Basic polymer theories, processing, characterization, and machine are practiced in the classroom to serve the basic and advanced knowledge of polymer and rubber in this program. This is consistent with the country’s policy of manufacturing the polymer and rubber industrial sectors, widely used around the world. This cooperative program combines classroom learning with real-world work experience, as well as practices over a 4-month or 1-semester on-the-job training in the private or public sectors. Students are also taught research skills in polymer and rubber products, as well as how to solve problems in project subjects before going out to practice. Students learn how to think critically, analyze data, and conduct research that can be experience in the real world.
