The Department of Electrical Engineering was established in July 1990. Because of an excellent learning and research environment, the Department has quickly become one of the top institutes for producing electrical engineers in the nation. The Department is still in the expansion stage, with the number of the faculty and the student body increasing each year. At the moment, the Department focuses on the following seven fields:

  • Electromagnetic Integrated Circuits ( EMIC )           

  • Communication System          

  • Network Communication

    •

  • Signal and Medium Communication

    •

  • Computer , Mechatronics Engineering

  • SOC

  • Power and Power Processing

    • 　

    Based on the current research direction and teaching arrangements, the long term plan of the Department is to become an integral teaching and research institution for many fields including electronics, communications, networks, power, photonics, computers, mechatronics, and multimedia processing. In addition, to promote the technical aspect, the Department encourages the faculty members to take part in the cooperative research work with the industries and the government agencies.

    　

    The courses offered by the Department have been designed to match those research directions. From the basic undergraduate courses to the core courses and from the special topics to advanced graduate courses, the courses are planned as a sequence of introductory, intermediate, and advanced courses with theoretical and practical emphasis, providing the undergraduate students with the required knowledge of electrical engineering and the discipline in independent learning, problem-solving, and research. In order to reach the goals mentioned, besides expanding the hardware and software equipment, the Department has been recruiting the best faculty members. Many of them have vast experience in their expertise and have been associated with international research institutes. Therefore, with their knowledge and expertise of the top research fields in the world guiding the direction, the Department can offer an excellent environment for producing the elite engineers.
