Electrical Engineering National Tsing Hua University

Overview

In Electrical Engineering undergraduate programs from National Tsing Hua University, 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.

Learning outcomes

The department also offers training programs for engineers and technicians coming from semiconductor industry, and participating actively in inter-disciplinary programs, such as the "semiconductor industry and fabrication" program and "micro-system science and technology" program in the NTHU. Together with ordinary postgraduate programs, these programs provide postgraduate students with inter-disciplinary training in a broad field of electronics-related research.

The department has a well-equipped microelectronic fabrication and characterization laboratory for both teaching and research activities in microelectronics. Following the establishment of the Center of Nano-Science and Technology, a new clean room for housing state-of-arts VLSI processing and MEMS fabrication facilities has also been built. All these add to boost the teaching and research energy of the department to its excellence.
