History

Over thirty years have past since our department was established, during which we have made great performance and achievements in graduate promotion, further study, employment and business startup and is reputed by all fields. Our department was established as the division of industrial electronics in December 1969 shortly after the school made its debut, and changed its name to the division of electronic engineering in 1973 as approved by the MOE. In July 1983, the evening session was added as rectified by the MOE, and the computer engineering section and the applied electronics section were set up under the division of electronic engineering. As the school was upgraded to Lunghwa Institute of Technology, our division was renamed as the Department of Electronic Engineering i n 1999. Junior college graduates were enrolled under the two-year program, and vocational college graduates, under the four-year program, and our department provides continuing education channels for graduates specialized in computer, electronics and other fields from nationwide junior colleges and vocational colleges. In 2002, the master's program was added to cultivate senior technological talents required for national economic development.

With the school's support, our department continues to train and employ PhD teachers, add practice facilities for students and research facilities for teachers, and at the same time purchase precise teaching and research devices in recent years, all for further improvement.

The master's program started recruiting students in 2004, and there are three classes under the four-year program and one class under the two-year program for the daytime session, two classes under the four-year program and one class under the two-year program for the continuing education division, and one class under the two-year program for the continuing education college. Currently, there are 16assistant professors or above, 10 lecturers, composing a powerful faculty. There is one 3-storied department building (with an area of 3,000m 2 , not including common classrooms), including 14 rooms composed of practice classrooms for students and research rooms for postgraduates and 30 research offices for teachers.

Educational Goals

Over thirty years have past since our department was established, during which we have made great performance and achievements in graduate promotion, further study, employment and business startup and are reputed by all fields. Currently, There is the master's program, three classes under the four-year technology program and one class under the two-year technology program for the daytime session, two classes under the four-year technology program and one class under the two-year technology program for the continuing education division, and one class under the two-year technology program for the continuing education college.

Our department aims at cultivating technologists with hands-on experience in fields of information and electronics. In addition to the basic compulsory courses in electronics, curriculum design intends to promote students' study performance and expand professional fields. The elective courses are classified for the electronic circuit section, the computer section and the systems section respectively. All planned courses cover basic theories and related practical applications, as follows:

• 1. Electronic Circuit Section

  As the micro-electronics era is coming, importance is attached to courses of modern physics, semiconductor engineering, IC design, and programmable digital logic design relating to micro electronics. This section aims at cultivating senior specialists in electronic engineering that have capabilities in design, research and development so as to respond to the demand for technological resources in the era of knowledge economy.

• 2. Computer Section

  The curriculum design focuses on multimedia and computer network engineering, and covers window programming design, system programming, database system and management, multimedia design, computer graphics, network analysis, internet programming design, etc, the practicability and generality of computer engineering being expanded. The section aims at training students from software system users to software system designers.

•   3. Systems Section

  The curriculum design focuses on power electronics, signal processing and communication engineering, and covers power electronics practice, communication fundamentals, digital signal processing, communication electronics, mobile communication system, digital communication system, optical fiber communication system, electromagnetism, microwave circuit design, etc. The section aims at cultivating technologists that master both theories and practical skills.

  To match the demand of the related industries, the department strengthens its efforts in exchange with industries with respect to technologies and practice experience, playing its role in helping students to learn experience in R&D, design and application system development from relevant industries and building up its reputation and influence in related industries.

Development

The department focuses on the development of microcomputer system application design, wireless communication development system and power electronic circuit design, and aims at cultivating technologists in electronic engineering with hands-on experience.

1.   As for the direction of microcomputer system application design, in addition to having the advanced teaching and academic environment relating to analog, digital and mixed-mode circuitry in computer aided VLSI design, there are the good teaching and academic environment relating to microcomputer application system design that supports and tests the achievements in computer aided VLSI design so as to strengthen students' capabilities in system design and application.
2.   As for the direction of wireless communication development system, development focus is given to high-frequency and microwave electric circuit design, radio frequency system design, mobile communication system, coding and information theory and satellite communication and tracking system, etc.
3.   As for the direction of power electronic circuit design, the department lays stress on basic requirements of high-quality power supply and drive devices and the conformity to small scale, low harmonic wave, low noise, voltage stability, high power density and high efficiency.
