• Equip students with the ability to design and implement products and application systems, as well as conduct open-ended problem research and critical thinking.

Doctoral Program Overview

The doctoral degree recognizes students' innovative capabilities and exceptional knowledge in their field. The college aims to cultivate innovative leaders with international research standards who can work in top academic and research institutions worldwide.

• Encourage original scientific research and innovation, focusing on projects with significant potential impact and new discoveries.
• Emphasize the development of students' academic research independence, leading them to participate in forefront research projects and publish high-level papers in top international academic journals.
• Collaborate with government agencies and industries to conduct cutting-edge scientific research with international influence and standards.
• Strengthen international cooperation, supporting doctoral students in overseas visits, short-term exchanges, and participation in major international conferences, and establishing joint training mechanisms with top international universities.

Admission Requirements

The college's full-time academic master's and doctoral programs primarily target students with professional backgrounds in fields such as mechanical engineering, power engineering and engineering thermophysics, ship and ocean engineering, control science and engineering, fluid mechanics, precision instruments and machinery, materials science and engineering, aerospace science and technology, electronic science and technology, information and communication engineering, computer science and technology, electrical engineering, optics, and optical engineering.

Degree Requirements

Degree requirements can be found in the master's and doctoral training plans.

Research Environment

During their research period, students will participate in research projects under the guidance of their supervisors. These projects are usually funded by industries, foundations, or governments. After signing a research contract, the budget is managed by the supervisor, mainly used for equipment, experimental materials, travel expenses, and student assistantships. The research contract also clarifies the expected deliverables of the research work.

Research must be conducted in a timely and professional manner. The timely completion of research results and the quality of published research papers are the standards for evaluating research outcomes. The success of research projects depends on the relationship between the supervisor and the student, which should be based on mutual respect and trust.

The college's research education aims to enable students to conduct independent and original research, demonstrating their ability to complete complex research tasks.
