Electrical Engineering
Introduction
The goals of establishing the Department of Electrical
Engineering were to expand the pools of well-trained electrical
engineers and to strengthen the technical competence of the local
electrical engineering industries. To reach the goals mentioned, (1) we
strengthen the faculty by hiring professors who have strong theoretical
background and practical experiences; (2) we promote the cooperation
between the University and industries, in an attempt to advance the
technical level of the local industries; (3) Different research groups
are to expand the research power of the department; (4) By fully
utilizing the manpower and facilities available, the Department is
actively involved in research and development,. Currently, the
Department offers the Ph.D., master and the bachelor degree programs.
The evening school which offers the bachelor degree has over 850
students.
The research groups of our Department include: communication, control,
and electric power. Specifically, they are: (1)
Communication-communication technology, microwave engineering and
optical communication; (2) Control-system control and signal processing;
(3) Electrical Power-power electronic and electrical power system.
Teaching and Research
The undergraduate program of the Department focuses on
three directions: (1) General elective courses: The goal is to help
nurturing well-educated human beings. (2) Required and elective
technical courses: The emphasis is on both theoretical knowledge and
practical know-how in the laboratory. Students can choose courses
according to personal preferences. Also, a number of laboratory courses
are taught by experienced professors. Students are able to build a sound
fundamental knowledge in electrical engineering technology through
hand-on approaches. (3) Development of research capability: Students,
under the guidance of professors, are trained to conduct research and
write research reports. The ultimate goal is to assist students to
develop research and problem solving skills.
The faculty members of the Department frequently receive grants from
National Science Council, Ministry of Education and other related
agencies. Research results are published in international journals,
domestic engineering journals, and technical conference proceedings,
etc. The Department also sponsors technical workshop to promote cross
fertilization of knowledge. The faculties have joint projects with a
number of universities in Taiwan.
Curriculum and Facilities
The Department provides our faculties and students an excellent environment for basic instructional and research works. A large number of courses are offered by the Department. The areas of concentration within the Department are mainly classified into three categories, i.e., power engineering, control engineering, and communication engineering. All of the equipments are arranged in the following laboratories: 1. Power System Laboratory; 2. Power Electronic Laboratory; 3. System Analysis Laboratory; 4. Optical and Microwave Communications Laboratory. The students can choose courses of particular field according to their personal preferences.
Career Development
The Southern Taiwan has long been the industrial heart
of Taiwan, together with the establishment of the Taiwan Science Park
and the affiliated industries of I-Shou University. It has created a
large demand for those who have technical skills. The graduates of our
Department have excellent prospects in employment, usually with several
offers waiting for each graduate. In short, there is no concern of
unemployment among our graduates. In addition, many students can still
pursue their advanced degrees in the related graduate schools.
