History

Department of Electronic Engineering, National Formosa University

  The Department of Electronic Engineering at National Formosa University was established on August 1, 2005. Currently, we enroll one class of four-year and one class of two-year day division students each year. In the 2010 academic year, the establishment of our master's program was approved by the Ministry of Education. The department was founded primarily to cultivate outstanding electronic engineering professionals and elevate the human resource quality of Taiwan's electronics industry. Our department emphasizes instruction that balances theory and practice, and values the cultivation of students' independent thinking and creative abilities. Located adjacent to the Huwei Base of the Central Taiwan Science Park, our university is one of the pivotal centers for innovative technology development in central Taiwan.

  Therefore, the founding mission of the Department of Electronic Engineering is to integrate the existing research and teaching resources of the Departments of Computer Science and Information Engineering, Electrical Engineering, and Electro-Optical Engineering within the College of Electrical and Computer Engineering. By combining these resources with newly recruited, outstanding professional faculty possessing industrial practical experience, we aim to develop practical teaching in electronic technology and industry-applied research, in order to cultivate Taiwan's e-generation electronic engineers.

  The development direction of our department is divided into four main areas: "Integrated Circuit Design and Application," "Semiconductor and Electro-Optical Applications," "Artificial Intelligence Systems," and "Communication Systems." We hope to cultivate practitioners with practical abilities for high-tech related industries, including professionals in semiconductors and integrated circuits, signal and system engineering, artificial intelligence engineering, and communication engineering. In addition to strengthening the impartation of theory, we place particular emphasis on practical training. Through the research of professional theory and the instruction of practical skills, and in alignment with national development and the trends in electronics, communications, energy technology, and artificial intelligence, we require a balance of theory and practice. Our goal is to enable students to become senior electronic engineers equipped with practical capabilities in design, manufacturing, application, and maintenance, thereby meeting the needs of society.
