The Guangdong Provincial Education Department has just announced a candidate list of the First-Class Undergraduate Programs, and the Program of Materials Science and Engineering of GTIIT is included in the list.

The Materials Science and Engineering Program in GTIIT

The Materials Science and Engineering Program aims to train graduates to integrate and lead in: Research and development of materials and their characterization and uses for high-technology industries – from semi-conductor manufacturing, through materials for biological applications. Research activities of this program include metals and alloys, ceramic materials, polymers, Nano-materials, biomaterials, electronic materials, functional materials, electrochemistry and corrosion, interfaces in materials, microstructural characterization, pharmaceutical materials science. Students need to learn some courses about fundamental principles of materials, crystalline structures, processing and properties, as well as their applications.

Teaching Characteristics

Materials science designs the courses about modern materials and basic laws behind like other universities, but we expect students to understand the scientific principles governing the interrelation among processing, structure, properties, and materials performance. For example, the courses include: Crystal structure and microstructural analysis, processing of materials, Electrochemistry, Diffusion and phase transformation, Kinetics and thermodynamics, Property of polymers, etc. As a result, students will be able to participate in leading researches and continued graduate school overseas.

Following the design principles of safety, reliability, energy conservation and environmental protection, GTIIT labs provide a world-class teaching and research environment for teachers and students. Each student is equipped with facilities a valued at 210,000 yuan, under the calculation of 1,000 students. Up to now, there 15 large teaching labs at GTIIT, such as Teaching Lab for Advanced Separations, Environmental Engineering, Materials Science and Engineering Lab, Physics Lab and Bioreactors and Fermenters Lab. Acquiring adequate knowledge about materials and processing experience are what a student in Materials science should do. Material science program actively involves college students into teaching lab, research lab and professors' projects as early as possible. So, they will gain in-class knowledge, hands-on skills, and practical interaction with real materials.

Most of the faculty members hold Ph.D. and have served in teaching and research in universities/institutions. Foreign faculty members account for more than 90% of the faculty team. They are from Israel, United States, Canada, Australia, United Kingdom, Singapore, Netherlands, Germany, Finland, Denmark, Spain, etc. We know what is important and useful in educating students. We not only deliver the knowledge in textbook, we also bring over the practical information that developed countries acquired.

Graduation Prospects

Graduates from this program have good graduation prospects. In terms of employment, the relevant industries that students can engage in after graduation include Renewable energy such as battery; Power conversion and thermal management; Transportation and electric vehicles; Semiconductor and Microelectronics; Data storage and sensors; Plastic, ceramic and Sports Industry; Filtration and separation; Corrosion and coating industry; Microwave and communication.

In terms of further studies, GTIIT students will have strong competitiveness for graduate school, academic institution and oversea exploration. They can apply for postgraduate courses in Materials Science and Engineering Program offered by internationally renowned universities.

The Strength of GTIIT

GTIIT is the first university that has been introduced with high quality educational resources from Israel and has independent legal person status. GTIIT cultivates pioneering leaders and researchers with global vision and aims to become a world-class international university, conducting cutting-edge research in the fields of science and technology.

In 2018, GTIIT has been listed in the Guangdong High Level University Development Program. Four disciplines, including Materials Science and Engineering, Food Engineering, Chemical Engineering, and Environmental Engineering are listed as key disciplines.
