Department of Computer Science and Engineering

The only top-tier computer science department in central Taiwan, dedicated to excellence in artificial intelligence education and research.

The Department belongs to the College of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science and is the only top-tier university computer science department in central Taiwan. Its mission is to cultivate well-rounded information professionals with expertise in information theory, hardware, software, and information applications.

The Department’s curriculum planning and research directions are centered on Artificial Intelligence, encompassing five major areas: Intelligent Systems, Network and Multimedia, Embedded Systems, Internet of Things and Cloud Computing, and Information Security. Course design emphasizes a balance between theory and application, as well as the integration of depth and breadth, thereby establishing a solid theoretical foundation and strong practical skills.

Applied Science and Engineering Building Science Building Classroom

Equal Emphasis on Theory and Practice

The curriculum balances theoretical and practical courses. Core subjects such as Logic Design, Operating Systems, and Electronic Circuits are paired with corresponding laboratory courses. In addition, the required course “Information Project” cultivates students’ abilities in system implementation and integration.

Programming Skills Training

Programming training is a key focus of the Department. Foundational programming courses span the entire freshman year, followed by advanced courses such as Assembly Language and System Programming, Network Programming, Unix Systems and Script Programming, and Smartphone Application Development. Students are encouraged to participate in programming competitions and the Collegiate Programming Examination (CPE).
