the core courses, students are supposed to choose a major track among
solar cell, fuel cell, battery, and molecular modeling, and battery, and
take the in-depth courses within the track. In addition, you will extend
your textbook knowledge through various R&D activities in the relevant
research sectors in DGIST. You will be trained to be a creative and

challenging personnel to lead the global future energy fields.
Specific subject of each track? The R&D fields of the major tracks are as follows :
● ‌Solar cell : Core-materials and fabrication technology for the next
generation photovoltaic and catalysts
Energy Systems Engineering ● ‌Fuel cell : Key materials and system design for the hydrogen/bio/
solid-oxide fuel cells.
● ‌Battery : Mastering the present Li-ion battery technologies and
exploring the innovative post-Li chemistry
● ‌Molecular modeling (computational chemistry) : Virtual
experiments using supercomputers (complementary to real-world
