學士班緣起
全因時代所趨
The program originated from the trend of the era
從奈米所開始
有鑑於國家積極投入奈米科技之研究,國立交通大學工學院為適時提供目前及未來高科技產業及學術界所需的奈米科技相關人才,因此早在民國 90 年即向教育部申請成立奈米科技研究所,是全國第一個奈米科技研究所。交通大學工學院奈米科技研究所碩士班在設立之初,即邀請美國加州大學洛杉磯分校 UCLA 副校長何志明教授(亦是美國加州大學洛杉磯分校系統奈米計畫總主持人及美國工程院士及中央研究院院士)、UCLA 材料系主任杜經寧教授(亦是中央研究院院士)、香港城市大學物理&材料系主任程海東教授(原伊利諾大學系主任,現為東海大學校長)、香港科技大學沈平系主任、聯華電子公司首席技術副總經理羅應聰、工研院奈米中心主任及交通大學教授 20 餘位等,經過三天研討會,擬訂了奈米科技研究所未來研究發展三大方向:奈米生物、奈米材料、奈米電子。
In view of the government’s active involvement in nanotechnology research, the College of Engineering at National Chiao Tung University submitted applications to the Ministry of Education to establish a nanotechnology research institute as early as 2001, with the goal of timely provision of the nanotechnology talents needed by current and future high-tech industries and academia. The established Nanotechnology Graduate Institute was the first in the country. Initially, many professors were invited for a 3-day meeting. These professors included the following: the Vice Chancellor of the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA), Professor Chih-Ming Ho, also a member of the National Academy of Engineering, Director of the Institute for Cell Mimetic Space Exploration (CMISE), Executive Committee of California NanoSystem Institute (CNSI), and Academician of Academia Sinica, R. O. C.), head of the Department of Materials Science at UCLA, Professor King-Ning Tu (also Academician of Academia Sinica), head of the Department of Physics & Material Science at Hong Kong University, Professor Chen Haydn Hai-dung (formerly a department head at Illinois University and currently the president of Tokai University), director Ping Sheng of Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, vice president and chief technology officer in United Microelectronics Corp - Ying-Tsung Lo, the director of the Nanotechnology center in Industrial Technology Research Institute and more than 20 university professors. After 3 days of discussion, 3 major directions were planned for the future development of the Graduate Institute of Nanotechnology: nanobiology, nanomaterials and nanoelectronics.
人才培育,向下扎根
Setting deeper roots in talent cultivation
由於本校「材料科學系」及「奈米科技研究所」之學生畢業後,平均均可獲得四個以上之就業機會,顯見目前社會對於此類人才需求之急迫性,再加上目前國內外之學界及業界投入奈米科技研究之人才需求已大幅增加,因此培養具奈米科技背景之大學部學生已經為刻不容緩之工作。
Graduates from the Department of Materials Science and the Graduate Institute of Nano Technology of our school receive 4 job offers on average, indicating that this type of talent is urgently needed by the present society. In addition, given the drastically increased demand for talents for nanotechnology research in both academia and industry, undergraduate students with nanotechnology backgrounds are urgently needed.
經過本校「奈米科技研究所」數年招收碩士班學生之經驗,雖然學生分別來自不同之領域,但發現學生的大學時期所修的基礎專業科目仍有不足。舉例而言,要進行跨領域之奈米科技研究必須具有至少兩個領域之基礎學科之訓練,但目前各大學之課程設計並無培養這項極重要科技人才的大學部奈米科技專業系。因此為了發展奈米科技跨領域之前瞻性研究,有必要開設奈米科學及工程學士班,讓大學部學生在大學階段就開始修習跨領域之專業基礎科目,這些學生未來在研究所之階段方能有基本能力去進行跨領域之奈米科技研發,未來也能進一步貢獻到工業界,這對未來發展前瞻科技的領導人才培育有相當大的貢獻。
Based on several years of experience in recruiting students for the masters’ program of the “Nanotechnology Graduate Institute," although students were from different areas, the basic courses they took in college were inadequate. For example, performing interdisciplinary nanotechnology research requires students to have basic training in at least two disciplines; however, currently, there is no such undergraduate nanotechnology department that cultivates talents in this very important technology. Therefore, to develop the forward-looking interdisciplinary research in nanotechnology, it is necessary to establish an undergraduate program in nano science and engineering to allow undergraduate students to pursue interdisciplinary basic courses in college. Students in such a program will possess the basic ability to perform interdisciplinary nanotechnology research when they enter graduate institutes and will contribute to future industry. Thus, this program will constitute a considerable contribution to the development of forward-looking technology leaders.
一拍,即合
Chime in
由於在近期內奈米科技對於電子、材料、生科、光電等之影響已逐漸擴大,況且交通大學在電子研究上已建立起相當好的基礎,因此在有效利用有限資源之前提下,並建立本校在奈米科技領域之特色,擬整合相關院系資源,成立奈米科技學士學位學程,施予奈米科技之基礎教育。
Given that the effects of nanotechnology on electronics, materials, biological science and technology, photonics, etc. are gradually expanding and that the National Chiao Tung University has a well-established foundation in electronic research, the school made effective use of its limited resources to establish our specialty in nanotechnology and proposed integrating the resources of related colleges and departments to found an undergraduate honors program for nano science and engineering and provide basic education in nanotechnology.
當今專業分工日趨精細,跨領域整合益形重要,教育部因應產業快速變化而修訂大學法,打破行之已久的系所框架,得以「學位學程」招生,將大學課程推向跨校院系所的整合全新時代。
The divisions between professions are currently becoming finer and more sophisticated, and interdisciplinary integration is more important than ever. In response to the rapidly changing industry, the Ministry of Education amended the University Act and broke the long-standing department-institute framework, making enrolling in a "degree program" possible and pushing the college curriculum forward into a new era of inter-school/college/department integration.
跨四大領域
一次,就緒
Across four fields, ready at once
奈米材料Nanomaterials
奈米材料由於其表面效應、小尺寸效應和量子效應,使奈米材料呈現許多奇異的特性包括光、電、熱、磁、力、化學,並成為現今奈米科技領域當中相當重要的一支。其獨特的化學及生物性質,使奈米材料可應用於疾病檢測及癌症的追蹤與治療等生醫之應用。
Due to the surface effect, the small size effect and the quantum effect, nanomaterials exhibit many special properties, including optical, electrical, thermal, magnetic, mechanical and chemical properties. The field of nanomaterials is now becoming a very important branch of nanotechnology. Because of the unique chemical and biological properties of nanomaterials, these materials can be used in biomedical applications, such as disease detection and the tracking and treatment of cancer.
奈米電子Nanoelectronics
當電子元件微縮到奈米尺度後,擁有極佳的設計彈性、導熱能力、電流傳導能力。人類的生活,將因奈米電子的發展而更為便利、安全與舒適。
On the nanoscale, electronic devices have excellent design flexibility, thermal conduction and current conduction. Human life will become more convenient, safe and comfortable due to the development of nanoelectronics.

Choose what you want to learn and be an expert in both disciplines
培育目標Goal of cultivation
本校跨領域奈米科學及工程學士學位學程的主旨在於培育跨領域之奈米科技人才為學術界及高科技產業界所用,特別是奈米電子、奈米材料、奈米生科、及奈米光電人才。本班的培育目標即是在擁有四大領域之基礎學習之下,又特別專長其中任兩領域的跨領域人才。
The purpose of the interdisciplinary Undergraduate Honors Program for Nano Science and Engineering of Science in our school is to foster interdisciplinary talents in nanotechnology who will be able to contribute to academics and high-tech industries, especially in the fields of nanoelectronics, nanomaterials, nano-biological science and technology and nanophotonics. The goal of this program is to foster interdisciplinary talents who have a basic understanding of 4 disciplines and are experts in 2 of these disciplines.
以奈米電子與奈米生科為例
Let’s take nanoelectronics and nanobiological science and technology for an example.
奈米電子可能取代矽晶應用之新興材料及技術如高分子材料與有機分子材料,新近都有重大進展,對下一世代的光電顯示工業與電子產業有無與倫比的影響。另外、由於有機分子電子元件除了大小與生物分子相當,在有機分子電子元件上加以修飾並用於生醫感測亦是十分重要。而奈米生科技術對生技產業和製藥產業已有顯著的影響,尤其在生醫晶片研發、新型藥物開發均有重大突破。
Nanoelectronics may replace silicon with new materials and technologies, such as polymer and organic molecular materials, which have recently undergone important developments and will have unparalleled impacts on the next generation of the optoelectronic display and electronics industries. In addition, because organic electronic devices are similar in size to biological molecules, it is also important to modify organic electronic devices and apply them to biomedical sensing. Nano-biological science and technology have had significant impacts on the biotech and pharmaceutical industries, especially regarding the breakthrough in the development of biomedical chips and new drugs.
有鑒於新興科技領域之發展的結合,本學程之規劃除了與本校傳統上微電子及奈米無機電子之良好發展有一互補作用之外,結合國家推動生物醫學園區,及國家衛生研究院所推動之奈米生物醫學,訓練學士人才、有系統講授介紹由基礎至於最終應用之課程。並進一步讓學生在三年級及四年級進行專題研究,以培訓國家發展奈米科技所需之基礎人才。
In light of the development of emerging technological fields, in addition to being a good complement to the conventional microelectronics and inorganic nanoelectronics of our school, the curriculum design of the program also combines the government-promoted Biomedical Science Park and the National Institutes of Health- promoted nano-biomedicines to train undergraduates and systematically introduce courses covering the entire spectrum from fundamentals to practical applications. In addition, students are allowed to perform research on specific topics in the 3rd and 4th years so that the talents needed by this country to develop nanotechnology will receive the necessary training.
未來發展
成就未來
進修研究所
Future development and future success in education in graduate institutes
由於本學程著重雙基礎之核心教學,學生可以就奈米電子、奈米材料、奈米生科、及奈米光電等四個領域學程選修兩項主專長課程,再搭配所規劃之入門基礎課程,包括物理、化學、數學與生命科學,因此學生一旦畢業即可以在研究所階段轉往其興趣之領域,例如理學院、生命科學院、電機資訊學院或是醫學院,進行專業發展。
The curriculum of the program focuses on teaching core courses of a dual nature. Students can choose any 2 out of the 4 fields – nanoelectronics, nanomaterial, nano-biological science and technology and nanophotonics – as their majors. Therefore, together with the planned entry-level basic courses, which include physics, chemistry, mathematics and life sciences, students can choose to study their fields of interest as soon as they graduate and enter the graduate institute, for example, the College of Science, the College of Life Sciences, the College of Electrical and Information Engineering or the Medical School, for professional development.
當然這些受過跨領域奈米科技知識訓練之人才,亦可以由其大學時所培養的兩項主專長再延伸,而在本校奈米科技研究所進行三項領域之整合型研究,這對未來發展前瞻科技的領導人才培育有相當大的貢獻。
Those talents who receive interdisciplinary training in nanotechnology can also explore beyond the 2 main fields of expertise for which they receive training in college and conduct research that integrates 3 disciplines in the Nanotechnology Graduate Institute of our school. This possibility will be a great contribution to the development of future forward-looking technology leaders.
工業界就業Working in industry
奈米科學及工程學士學位學程之學生畢業後,由於在奈米電子、奈米材料、奈米生科、及奈米光電等四個領域學程選修兩項主專長課程,因此可以在電子業、光電業或是生技工廠等,找到其專長可發揮之工作。此外目前針對專利分析等領域,必須要有曾受過跨領域專業訓練之人才投入,才可提高公司在智財權之優勢,本學程之畢業學生亦可滿足業界之需求。
Because all students in the program will have double majors selected from the 4 majors of nanoelectronics, nanomaterial, nano-biological science and technology and nanophotonics, after graduation, they can find jobs that use their expertise in the electronic, photonics or biotech industries. Currently, jobs in fields such as patent analysis need talents who have professional interdisciplinary training to improve the companies’ intellectual property advantages. Graduates from the program can also meet the needs of industry.
學士班現況
漸入佳境
The status of the program is improving.
導生導師,常聚更熟悉
A closer advisor-student relationship can be facilitated through frequent gatherings.
導師除協助選課及生涯規劃之輔導之外,還會有個別舉辦的導生聚會以及期末的全系導聚。師生間之交流無比豐富,學生們有任何學業、研究上、或者實習、未來出路等的疑問,都能夠不斷的和導師討論,並且和導師取得良好關係,對於未來有很大的實質幫助。
In addition to assisting with course selection and career planning, this relationship also includes individual advisor-student meetings and a gathering of all advisors and students at the end of the semester organized by the department. The communication between teachers and students is very rich. The students can discuss any questions regarding academics, research, internships or their future career with their advisors, and maintaining good relationships with the advisors is of practical use in the future.
專業領域,皆有所發揮
All majors are useful
本班畢業生升研究所甄試學生同時錄取跨學院科系佔者 68%,如某生同時錄取電機學院電子所、光電所及工學院材料所。顯見跨領域學習擁有更寬廣的揮灑空間。第一屆方畢業,參加研究所推甄就有 70% 的同學全數上榜,應屆甄試錄取台清交研究所。
In total, 68% of the graduates from the program were admitted into different colleges/institutes simultaneously, for example, a student was admitted by the Institute of Electronics and Graduate Institute of Photonics and Optoelectronics of the College of Electrical and Computer Engineering and the Institute of Materials Science of the College of Engineering, indicating that interdisciplinary study can provide you with a bigger stage on which to display your talent.
