Department of Introduction The Department of Computer Science and Information Engineering is the first high-tech department at Taipei University. The master program was established in 2008. In addition to the rich training offered by its professional courses, the Department provides an education in both liberal arts and business & law, an area that is usually weak in a college focusing on science and technology. The professional training in the Department emphasizes the combination of information theory and practice. We enable our students to receive State-of-the-art science and technology information, develop themselves into talented experts mastering both theory and practice, while integrating liberal arts and science & technology through various academic exchanges and industrial communication activities. Our curricula are classified into the following three categories: mathematical theory, major based topics, and their applications. With respect to mathematical theory, we focus on an education in background mathematics and physics that serves as the basis for undertaking advanced research. The major based topics category consists of the core subjects of the Department, including foundation courses related to electronics and information. Finally, all of the practical courses deal with recent developments in the IT industry and explore the latest technologies in order to ensure our students are well-prepared when entering the job market and research institutes.
The Department will in the future set up several research labs including an electronics & electro-circuit lab, a digital and micro-computer lab, a network lab, as well as a multi-media and image, mobile computing, communication network, and distribution system, and system chip facilities. As a brand-new department, all of our equipment is of course up-to-date. The electronics, information, and communication industries are among the high-tech industries with the most potential. In addition to this, our graduates can find places in the semi-conductor industry, IC design industry, information software & hardware industry, and communication industry. In other words, our graduates will have more job opportunities to become VIPs in the IT field.
