With the development of science and technology alongside the progress of human civilization, both demand and dependence on energy are rapidly increasing. In recent years, due to environmental and climate change caused by over-exploitation and improper development of energy sources, all countries have begun to pay attention to energy issues and the development of cutting-edge energy technology. Through innovative research into clean and renewable energy, the industrial evolution process can maintain the sustainable development of the environment and society. Therefore, more forward-looking "new energy technology" has become a key development project of advanced countries in recent years. Our country has currently listed "green energy technology" as a key investment project in seven industrial innovation plans. In the future, it will promote this industry and develop key technologies in this field, which will also require the training of more talents in the cutting-edge energy sector.

New energy technology includes such interdisciplinary technologies as energy materials and system integration. Energy materials refer to the key materials needed in the transformation and utilization of new energy and the development of new energy technology, which will be the core and foundation of developing new energies. Therefore, in order to improve the efficiency of new energy technologies, developing and designing key energy materials has become an important goal. Accordingly, the main purpose of the course in the field of energy materials is to teach professional material knowledge regarding energy-related applications. The teaching structure consists of four parts: "Material Composition and Microstructure," "Process and Equipment," "Material Properties," and "Performance of Materials in Energy Technology." This area can also be applied in such cutting-edge energy technologies as solar cells, new generation energy storage components, hydrogen energy, thermal energy management, and micro-electric energy. Combining advanced professional courses like "Special Research" and "Energy System Integration" of various energy technologies extends the depth and breadth of students' learning in the field of energy materials. Based on the interdisciplinary "Energy Materials" course in our bachelor's program, students will develop in the following areas:

1. Design of new energy materials: study of new energy materials, new structures, and new effects to improve the utilization and conversion efficiency of energy technologies
2. Rational utilization of energy material resources
3. Energy technology security and environmental sustainability
4. Process and processing technology of material scale production
5. Service life and reliability of energy materials

The university currently has abundant teaching and research resources in "material science" and "Energy Technology" and has also received various government resources, such as the Ministry of Education's Energy Talent Cultivation Program, the thin film solar cell equipment system talent cultivation program, and a number of national energy programs. Therefore, the university has excellent teaching energy and research achievements. It can provide students with the ideal planning and assistance for their future development in the field of energy materials. Furthermore, with its good geographical position, the university has already formed a satellite research system with the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Industrial Research Institute, and nearby high-tech industrial zones like Taoyuan, Jhongli, Pingchen, and Youshi. Students can also participate in enterprise-related internships and research projects through the cooperation between the university and major companies, which can help them cultivate their practical problem-solving skills, so that they can seamlessly make connections between the university and enterprises.
