Introduction

        In response to the demand for information technology professionals, to enhance the competitiveness of the information industry, and to cultivate outstanding technological talents, the Ministry of Education approved the establishment of the Department of Computer Science and Information Engineering at this university in August 2002. Subsequently, in accordance with the development needs of the department, a Master's Program in Computer Science and Information Engineering was established in August 2008, and a Five-Year Junior College Division of Computer Science and Information Engineering was established in August 2020.
       
        Currently, the department consists of eight classes in the four-year daytime undergraduate program, two classes in the master's program, and five classes in the junior college division, totaling fifteen classes.
 

Objectives and Features

  • The objective of this department is to cultivate outstanding information technology professionals and enhance the quality of manpower in the national information industry.
  • Emphasis is placed on both theory and technology in teaching, with a focus on cultivating students' independent thinking and creativity.
  • Importance is given to the application of emerging technologies, and laboratories in bioinformatics, network communications, network multimedia, integrated circuit design, and information security are well-equipped for students to verify their learning.
  • All faculty members currently hold doctoral degrees with extensive experience in both academia and industry, ensuring top-tier teaching and research quality.
 

Development Vision


        The establishment objective of the Department of Computer Science and Information Engineering is to cultivate mid- to high-level information engineering professionals with both solid quality and excellent technical skills for the industrial sector of the nation. The department emphasizes both fundamental theories and practical technologies in teaching and research, while aligning with national policies and industrial development trends to appropriately adjust teaching and research priorities. This approach aims to achieve technological integration and balanced development in both quality and quantity. At the same time, in response to the university’s institutional development and the needs of local industries, the department appropriately adjusts extension education and enrollment training, with the goal of ensuring that graduates meet the demands of modern society and establishing the department as a training and continuing education center for mid- to high-level information engineering professionals in the six counties and cities of Central Taiwan and the Yunlin–Chiayi–Tainan region.
 

Curriculum Focus 

   

     In alignment with modern technology and industry needs, and under the principle of balancing theory and practice, the department has established three major focus areas as key directions for its medium- to long-term development plan. Through teaching, research, and industry–academia collaboration, the department aims to contribute to talent cultivation for domestic industries.
  1. System Design: Embedded systems, high-speed interface technologies, FPGA application design, and biochips.
  2. Information Systems: Software system development, information and communication security, mobile computing and applications, machine learning, artificial intelligence, web technologies and applications, cloud computing, and big data.
  3. Network Multimedia: Network communications, network management, mobile networks, multimedia communications, wireless sensor networks, intelligent sensing and recognition technologies, and the Internet of Things (IoT).
 

Off-Campus Internship


     1. Summer Off-Campus Internship: A 2-credit course conducted during the summer vacation, requiring continuous internship at the same institution for 8 weeks, with no less than 320 hours in principle.
     2. Semester Off-Campus Internship: A 9-credit course requiring continuous internship at the same institution for at least 18 weeks during either the first or second semester.
     3. Academic Year Off-Campus Internship: An 18-credit course requiring continuous internship at the same institution for at least 36 weeks.
     4. Information Project Internship: A 1-credit course conducted in collaboration with the university’s Computer Center. Students participate in project internships during the semester, requiring at least 160 hours.
