Educational Objectives
Currently, the worldwide development of various scientific technologies is progressing at an ever-increasing rate. It is noteworthy that electronics technology plays a crucial role in both the defense industry and the manufacturing industry; hence, electronics is one of the priority high-tech feature of almost every developed country. Our country relies primary on exports, which indicates that export-enhancement should be the theme of the national economic. Among our various exported products, the products with the most potential and valued-added are electronics. No other industry can aspire to promote its manufacturing yield and enhance the competitive capability of its products without upgrading electronics technology.
Consequently, the established objective of our department is to train highly qualified students, possessing both theoretical knowledge and practical experiences in design and associated applications in computer software and hardware and communication systems. Our department has already made significant contributions in educating students for future jobs in the electronics industry of our country. We are still expanding our efforts to promote the modernization of the electronics industry, establish our reputation, and enhance the competitive capability of Taiwan's industry.
Characteristics of Development
In order to train prospective students to be highly qualified electronic technicians, our department stresses four major directions in teaching and research:
A. The design and associated applications of computer systems: software and hardware for microprocessors, computer networks, multimedia networks, image processing.
B. Microcomputer control: mini/microprocessor control systems, single-chip control system.
C. The design and associated applications for communications: analog/digital communication, digital signal processing, cable/wireless communication systems, cable/wireless network engineering.
D. The design and measurement of Very Large Scale Integrated (VLSI) Circuits: the theories and design of VLSI, and CAD, design of electronic circuits in CPLD, and FPGA, fabrication and layout of printed circuit board (PCB), the measurement of properties of VLSI and semiconductor devices.
