School of Materials Science and Engineering

New materials, as one of three science and technology industries of Shanghai in the twenty-first century, are closely related to national economy and people¡¯s life. The School of Materials Science and Engineering of Shanghai University is a professional one, which is mainly engaged in new materials research and teaching programs for undergraduate, postgraduate (Master's degree and Doctor's degree) and post-doctor for Shanghai. It has been listed as a key constructive subject of national "211 Engineering".

The school has three departments: Materials and Engineering, Electronic Information Materials and Polymer Materials; one institute of Materials; one Shanghai enhanced laboratory (of new technology applications and explorations of Shanghai ferrous metallurgy), which is one of national key subjects; and two open laboratories of Shanghai Education Committee (mainly involving mechanical properties of materials, microstructures and properties); 2 post-doctor programs for Metallurgy and Materials; 2 Doctor¡¯s degree-granting programs for Ferrous Metallurgy and Materials; 7 Master¡¯s degree-granting programs for Ferrous Metallurgy, Materials, Materials Engineering, Non-Ferrous Metals, Physics and Chemistry of Materials, Microelectron and Solid State Electronics, Polymer Chemistry and Physics; 2 Engineering Master¡¯s degree-granting programs for Materials Engineering and Metallurgy Engineering; and 6 undergraduate programs for Metallurgy Engineering, Metallic Materials and Engineering, Inorganic Materials and Engineering, Polymer Materials and Engineering, Material Physics and Electronic Science and Technology.

In a recent decade, the school has undertaken seven key subject construction projects, being one of fifth in total (thirty-one projects) in Shanghai University. Especially, Ferrous Metallurgy is grant as a ¡°the most important" constructive subject in Shanghai. Also, the school has advanced instruments and facilities valued fifty million RMB, and four institutes co-operated with automobile group companies.

The school has 4 academicians of Chinese Academy of Engineering, 21 doctorate supervisors, 29 professors and 75 associate professors. 78 projects got awards of Scientific and Technological Achievements with various levels (nation, province and municipality); more than 1800 papers were published, and friendly academic communication was carried out widely with universities, enterprises and institutes in such countries as America, United Kingdom, Canada, German, Sweden, Finland, Portugal, Japan, South-Korea and so on.

The school emphasises deep theory foundation in academic, broad knowledge, practised skill, strong ability of computer applications and spoken and written English with a view to fully developing students in aspects of morality, wisdom and physical. CAI has been extensively adopted in major taught courses. At present, there are 45 and 93 postgraduates studying respectively for Doctor¡¯s and Master¡¯s degree and 1230 undergraduates studying for the first degree. The undergraduate employment covers wide-range from institutes of Chinese Science Academy, national offices and enterprises to joint ventures and foreign investment companies. They are well welcome in society for their good reputations, thousands of them become leaders and directors in many fields and more than 300 are studying and working abroad. The excellent undergraduates can pursue further studies (Master¡¯s degree) without standard examinations.

Introduction of Dean

Xia Yi-Ben, a Professor and Doctorate Supervisor, is devoting himself to Electronic Materials & Devices, mainly involving Functional Thin Film Materials, Diamond Films & Related Devices.

He was graduated from Fudan University majoring semiconductor physics in 1965, and got the master degree majoring infrared semiconductor from Chinese Academy of Sciences in 1981. He was a visiting scholar to pursue advanced studies in Physics Department, Universitaet Wurzburg/ Germany over two years ( 1985-1987), Guest Professor in Fraunhofer Thin Films and Surface Engineering Institute (Fhg-IST) /Germany (1996-1987) and a Guest Professor in Materials Science Institute, Tohoku University/Japan (1998-1999). He was awarded the First Rank for Electronic Product Branch in China /1977 (Automatic Gain Control Transistor) and got the Patent: Diamond and Diamondlike Films as Antireflective Coating on Infrared and Visible Optical Devices from Chinese Patent Office/1992 (Patent No. 92840108). His publications are over 90 papers.

Now he is the Memberships of Chinese Electronics Society, Chinese Optical Materials Society and Shanghai Semiconductor Materials Society. Now the projects undertook are Infrared properties and interfaces research of DLC ( Shanghai Natural Science Foundation), Selected growth (development) at cell places by DPLF (a key project of Shanghai Education Science Committee) and High-resolution X-ray imaging ¡ª study of the micro strip gas chamber (National Natural Science Foundation of China).
