Division of Advanced Materials Engineering (Metallurgical System Engineering)
The prosperity of all industries and civilizations has progressed hand in hand with the development of metallurgical engineering. Metallic materials form the foundation of every industry and are essential in fields such as mechanical engineering, construction, civil engineering, electrical and electronic engineering, chemistry, aerospace, shipbuilding, semiconductors, and nuclear energy. The history of human civilization is closely intertwined with the development and utilization of metallic materials. As South Korea advances as a developed nation in the 21st century, the role of metallurgical engineers capable of handling the metals required for future industries becomes increasingly vital.
Since its establishment in 1951 as the Department of Metallurgical Engineering, the Division of Advanced Materials Engineering (Metallurgical System Engineering) at Jeonbuk National University has dedicated itself to nurturing talented professionals and advancing research in metallurgical engineering for over 70 years. The program covers a wide range of industrial applications, from traditional steel and metallic materials to component materials, energy materials, nano/semiconductor materials, biomaterials, and functional materials.
All faculty members are committed to providing students with diverse learning opportunities through excellent education and research infrastructure and active research initiatives. Support programs include scholarships, career development training, student exchange programs, and overseas study opportunities through partnerships with leading international universities. The division also fosters close industry-academia collaboration and conducts joint research with domestic companies, ensuring effective practical training and preparing students to become leading experts in metallic materials in the era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution.
