1. Introduction :
The Department of Electrical Engineering at National Chi Nan University was founded in August 1998, beginning with an undergraduate program. Subsequently, Master’s and PhD programs were established in 2000 and 2003, respectively. In August 2011, the department was further enlarged with the merger of the Graduate Institute of Communication Engineering.

In recent years, the output value of the electrical and electronics industry represents a dominant portion of Taiwan’s total industrial output. Thus, the industry plays a pivotal role in Taiwan’s national economy. As there continues to be a high demand for talents in electrical and electronics engineering, all universities in Taiwan have been aggressively setting up relevant programs. It is against this backdrop that the Department of Electrical Engineering at NCNU is continuously evolving and renewing itself.

2.Mission :
The department currently offers courses leading to Bachelor’s, Master’s and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical Engineering, and Communication Engineering, respectively. Electrical engineering is a broad and rapidly evolving field. To prepare our students for careers in this field, the department’s mission is to offer a well-rounded curriculum aimed at providing our students with a solid foundation in electrical engineering, as well as the ability to independently acquire new knowledge and to adapt to technological advances in their professional careers.

Presently, the department’s academic and research directions are focused on the three major domains of electronics, systems and communications. Teaching and research facilities and software are continuously upgraded. To strengthen our development in the electrical and communications domains, and to promote academic activities and research, the department also actively seeks new faculty members from among academics and experts with strong track records, both locally and abroad. The aim is to provide our students with a robust training and the most foresighted technological know-how. Going forward, the department shall collaborate with the Department of Computer Science and Information Engineering to develop an interdisciplinary communications domain that incorporates electrical and information engineering. Additionally, collaborative research in bio-engineering is also planned with the Department of Applied Chemistry. Through these developments, the department strives to be a world-class institution providing state-of-the-art education in electrical engineering.

3.Features :
1. Undergraduate students who have outstanding academic achievements may seek enrollment in the Direct Master’s Program, in which they can obtain both the Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees within five years of study.

2. Outstanding students in the undergraduate and Master’s programs may seek direct enrollment in the Ph.D. program.

3. To foster students’ experience and interests in research and development, the department conducts annual undergraduate project competitions and graduate research exhibits, in which student achievements are showcased.

4. To provide our students an early hands-on industrial experience, the department collaborates actively with industry partners in the setting up of practical projects.

5. To broaden our students’ global vision and international outlook, the Department actively engages in academic exchanges with foreign institutions, and encourages students’ participation in overseas exchanges.

6. Research and teaching of the Department can be divided into three groups as follows:

· The Electronics Group: VLSI Design, SoC Design, Microelectronics Components and Materials, Micro Sensors, Nanodevices, Optoelectronic Components.

· The Systems Group: Control System and Theory, Digital Signal Processing, Speech and Image Processing, Embedded System, and High-Level SoC Design. Our main research direction is IC design that integrates electronics with systems.

The Communications Group: Wireless Communications, Communications Network, Voice over IP, Coding Theory, Signal Processing for Communications, SoC for Communications.
