The Department of Electrical Engineering was established in 1976, and its MS and Ph.D. programs were founded in 1977 and 1983, respectively.
The undergraduate curriculum stresses a balance of theoretical studies and hands-on experimental training. It covers all areas of electrical engineering, including optoelectronics and electromagnetics, solid-state electronics, VLSI design and computer engineering, control and system theory, communications and signal processing, and power engineering. More than one third of the courses are taught in English.
Research areas include power systems and power electronics, multimedia, and signal processing, communications, design and testing of VLSI circuits, computer engineering, biomedical engineering, bioinformatics and quantum computation, and quantum communications.
Department of Computer Science
The Department of Computer Science has an undergraduate curriculum that is very flexible. Except for a few required courses, students are free to select from a wide range of specialized courses in designated areas based on their own interests.
The graduate program grants MS and Ph.D. degrees to qualified candidates. The courses offered cover all major areas of computer science and engineering. All faculty members and graduate students actively participate in both domestic and international academic activities.
Major research areas include high-speed networks, image processing, databases, algorithms, graphics, electronic design automation (EDA), artificial intelligence, natural language processing, and parallel and distributed systems.
Interdisciplinary Program of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science
The Interdisciplinary Program of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science was established in 2008 to meet the growing demand for engineer with cross-disciplinary expertise. Through rigorous training in both EE and CS, we expect to educate wide-spectrum professionals who could enhance the competitiveness of Taiwan by upgrading to even higher value-added industry. The curriculum of this undergraduate program covers the basic principles of various advanced technologies including computer information theory, internet, multimedia, communication, control, energy, biomedical electronics, IC design, photonics, nanometer semiconductor, etc.
