•Macromolecule and Nano-Engineering Department was recently established (March, 1993) on the national request due to lack of human resources in new organicmaterial field of study.
•This department is formed in the Hybrid-type from the beginning (all of the professors have different backgrounds, and students can choose their majors according to their aptitude and preference).
•All of the students in this department are recommended to continue their studies to a higher level, further than master’s degree either in Korea or abroad, so that all of them can have the career of their interest after graduating.

•The department has an excellent stem cell lab which was authenticated by Ministry of Health and Welfare, Ministry of Knowledge Economy, Ministry of Educational Science and Technology, and Ministry of Labor (2005-today).
•The department published research papers on progress in polymer SCI, which is the most reknown academic journal in the macromolecule engineering world, on Nano Letters, which is the most famous academic journal in nano material field, and on Nature, which is one of the top three journals in the world (Professor Kang Kil Sun, Lee Seung Hee, Na Chang Woon, Jung Kwang Woon, Lee Dong Won in 2007).
•The department provides scholarship to the entire graduate students (about 70 students), scholarship and living expenses to 1/4 of junior and senior students in undergraduate school (provides 600,000-1.2 million won per month to graduate students, and scholarship that pays for the entire tuition for juniors and seniors in undergraduate school).
