In undergraduate programs, the department emphasizes on a balanced training on both theoretical studies and hands-on experiments. Students are encouraged to take inter-disciplinary courses, as well as to be involved in research projects. The undergraduate curriculum contains seven engineering modules, which are optoelectronics and electromagetics, solid-stateelectronics, electronic circuit design, computers, control systems, communication systems, signal processing, and power engineering. On top of regular laboratory courses, students are also required to take a team project to design and complete a simple electronic system during a senior year. In postgraduate programs, the ultimate goal is to incubate competent engineers who are capable of doing R&D works independently after graduation. Faculty members in the department have conduct research projects actively in a broad range of research fields, such as power systems, power electronics, communication systems, image processing, speech processing, VLSI design and testing, optoelectronics, and lasers. The annual research grants won by the dept. amounts to more than NT$100 millions.
