Development Characteristics
Established in 2004, the Department of Computer Science and Information Engineering offers education and research programs at both undergraduate and graduate levels. Our mission is to provide well-educated individuals with professional skills in information technology (IT) related fields to further support the technology industries in Taiwan.

The department is currently oriented towards the development of intelligent systems, network and multimedia, and embedded system, as well as interdisciplinary research and applications that stimulate research. As a growing department, we are committed to building an intelligent computing center, developing intelligent systems using basic elements of computation theory, using computer systems as development platforms, and expanding applications on network and multimedia, and embedded systems.

Goals
The department aims to educate students based on the following three aspects so that they may become qualified professionals in the information technology.
 

Professional trainings in both theory and practice

 

Solid mathematical and algorithmic skills

 

Knowledge in computer software and hardware

 

Ability of system analysis and integration implementation

Independently thinking and reasoning analysis

 

Ability to perform theory derivation and data induction

 

Ability to perform problem mining, analysis and solving

 

Ability to be innovative and to continue learning

Humanities and team cooperation

 

Having a responsible, socially and culturally aware attitude

 

Having good communication and collaboration skills

 

Having foreign language skills and international perspective

 

 


Postgraduate Opportunities

Advanced Degree Study

 

Graduates may pursue a Master degree in electrical engineering, electronics, information engineering, computer science, applied mathematics, information management, communication engineering, etc.

Career Opportunities

 

Graduates may have many opportunities in jobs, such as software engineer, database administrator, database analyst, system analyst, system administrator, web design and administration, information management, intelligent systems work, IC design, landline and wireless, multimedia, digital contents, 3C system design, etc.


Future Outlook
The Department is well equipped to provide excellent teaching and research facilities for both students and faculty members, and is on the way of becoming a leading institution in Taiwan. Current achievements include:

Establish graduate programs which provide Doctoral degree.

Set up professional laboratories, including intelligent systems laboratory, software and information system laboratory, Internet and computer system laboratory, multimedia and digital contents laboratory, and computer vision and graphics laboratory.

Initiate interdisciplinary programs with different departments within the University to meet industry requirements, providing programs include bioinformatics, software engineering, digital contents, and computer systems.


Courses Offered
The undergraduate program is designed to equip students with the basics of information technology and prepare them for graduate schools or the workplace. In general, we offer basic courses for freshmen and sophomore, and many elective courses for juniors and seniors. The departmental elective courses are divided into different tracks: core or non-core. For core electives, students must choose one track and take at least three courses in it, and at least two core courses in other tracks. Moreover, students must take at least four non-core elective courses not included in any track. Finally, students must complete a project before graduation.
