Remark

>> Goals at the Department or Institute level
Besides covering the important fundamental courses required by general department of physics, the department curriculums also give attention to physical theories and their application. As for the construction of curriculum for senior classes, besides including physical monographs such as tabulated Optoelectronics and Solid State Electronics, it is also combined with industry resources outside the college. With the goal of learning some practiced techniques, it aims at creating the access opportunity to technology industries on college days and expanding technology vision so as to make preparation for employment or lay the academic foundation for entering a higher school.
