Department Regulations
A. Admission-Related Information
- Eligibility for Admission: According to the university's graduate school regulations.
- General Admission: For major written exams, each professor submits one exam question in principle.
Applicants must choose at least three subjects from the provided list. - Special Admission: According to the university's graduate school regulations.
- Related Majors: Applicants who majored in new materials engineering, metallurgical engineering, or materials engineering are generally accepted. Any exceptions will be determined through a departmental faculty meeting.
B. Credit Requirements
- Master's Program: 24 course credits, 2 research (thesis) credits
- Doctoral Program: 36 course credits, 4 research (thesis) credits
- Supplementary Courses: In the event of any issues, the department faculty meeting will decide
C. Foreign Language Examination
The foreign language examination for both the Master’s and Doctoral programs shall consist of one subject: English.
D. Comprehensive Examination
- Master's Program: The examination shall cover two major subjects.
- Doctoral Program: The examination shall cover three major subjects. The subjects shall, in principle, be selected from those the student has taken. If there is no overlap between the subjects taken and those offered for the examination, the subjects may be determined by the departmental faculty committee.
E. Thesis Submission and Evaluation
- Master’s Program
- Master’s Thesis Proposal and Evaluation: Graduate students and faculty determine whether to approve the thesis proposal at a departmental faculty meeting after the student participates in a preliminary presentation (proposal defense).
- Selection of Thesis Committee Members: The selection of the thesis committee is finalized by the department faculty meeting based on the recommendation of the advisor.
- Evaluation Criteria for Master’s Thesis: The thesis must include experimental data or relevant materials to demonstrate research outcomes, which are reviewed by the department faculty.
- Doctoral Program
- Doctoral Dissertation Proposal and Evaluation: Graduate students and faculty determine whether to approve the thesis proposal at a departmental faculty meeting after the student participates in a preliminary presentation (proposal defense).
- Selection of Thesis Committee Members: The selection of the thesis committee is finalized by the department faculty meeting based on the recommendation of the advisor.
- Evaluation Criteria for Doctoral Dissertation: The dissertation must include experimental data or relevant materials to demonstrate research outcomes, which are reviewed by the department faculty.
- Eligibility for Doctoral Dissertation Submission: To be eligible, the student must publish at least one paper related to the dissertation as the first or corresponding author in a SCI(E) indexed journal, and at least one paper in a KCI-registered journal. (Note: Students enrolled before 2009 may follow the curriculum prior to the revision.)
If one SCI(E)-indexed journal paper is published, it is counted as 200%, and if one paper is published in a KCI-registered journal, it is counted as 100%.
To graduate, the total must be at least 150%.
The contribution is calculated based on the number of co-authors as follows:
- Whenthere is only one author (n = 1), the publication is counted as a single work
- Whenthere are two or more authors (n ≥ 2), If the author is the first author or corresponding author, Contribution = 2 / (n + 1) , If the author is a co-author: Contribution = 1 / (n + 1)
- n refers to the total number of authors listed on the paper, If the number of authors is five or more, n is considered as 5.
- For KCI-registered journal papers:
- 1 author: 100%
- 2 authors: 66.7% (first or corresponding author), 33.3% (co-author)
- 3 authors: 50% (first or corresponding author), 25% (co-author)
Example of calculation:
If a paper with 3 authors is published in an SCI journal, the first author’s contribution is calculated as:
200% × 2/4 = 100%
If a paper with 3 authors is published in a KCI-registered journal, the first author’s contribution is calculated as:
100% × 2/4 = 50%
Additional Provision
These regulations will be enforced starting March 1, 2025, and will apply to students entering from the 2025 academic year onward.
