The Department of Resources Engineering at National Cheng-Kung University was established to address the demand for the exploitation, utilization, reclamation, management and treatment of various resources. The Department is the only institution in Taiwan offering advanced education in resources engineering, including minerals, energy, soil and water resources. The breadth of training that the Department affords resource engineers permits entry into many exciting new fields of endeavor. The Department offers a four-year program leading to a B.S. degree. Advanced study may then be pursued, if desired, to achieve an M.S. or Ph. D. degree.
