學程介紹

因應當今時代在奈米材料製程、生物科技上的人才需求大增，將以「生物科技」及「材料科技」為兩大主軸，再搭配「跨領域科學教育」，培養學生除了具備生物科技及奈米材料之研發能力外，具備跨域的視野，且能運用數位科技媒介或科普傳播的方式演示或傳達新興科技的特性與功能的能力。故課程設計亦以此三大專業領域為必、選修。21世紀新的科學發現、新的技術突破不斷地湧現。學科相互融合發展，科學傳播和技術轉移快速。科技產業不僅是國家經濟發展的巨大原動力，更是國家乃至世界產業結構和發展方向的決定因素。在全球化時代，科學技術的國際競爭日趨激烈。以發展高科技及謀求本國的經濟發展和綜合國力的增強，已成為世界各國政府的共識。

除了專題討論外，「科學與技術發展概論」是本學程規畫的必修科目之一。學生了解科學與技術發展的歷史，可拓展他們認識科學家如何進行關鍵研究，突破研究難題的思維與關鍵技術，了解技術與科學知識發展互相影響的關係。在科學與技術發展史上顯示不少突破性的科學與技術的發展常發生在跨領域的合作環境，促使科學家跳脫既有的框架，產生創意點子。另外，「論文寫作」課程培養研究生具備有條理地論述自身透過研究獲得的知識之能力，並能與學術社群進行溝通與論辯，亦為必修課程。專業領域選修課程則依發展本學程方向規畫為三大群課程，生物科技、材料科技與跨域科教。學程學生依據其個人研究方向、職涯發展規劃，在指導教授輔導下選課。

Bio-Technology is the vital developmental trend in the 21st century; the health and welfare of human beings are the issues that everyone concerns as well. Because the earth warming and climate change lead to food shortage, people are taking biological resources more seriously. Therefore, the curriculum of this field comprises Bio-Medicine and Optoelectronics, Management and Application of Biological Resources and other related courses.

Chemical Materials research is the cornerstone of Contemporary Nanotechnology, and it plays an important role in science and emerging industrial technology and development. Therefore, the curriculum of this field comprises Basic Knowledge of Synthetic Chemistry, Materials Analytical Chemistry, Advanced Materials Preparation and other related courses.   

The primary goal of Science Education is to improve learners’ scientific literacy and cultivate them with the ability to inquire and solve problems. Therefore, the curriculum of this field comprises Inquiry-based Instruction, STEM Education, Technology-integrated Math/Science Education, Literacy-oriented Math/Science Education and Assessment and other related courses.
