College of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science

Overview

The College of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) at National Taipei University of Technology was established in August 2006. Its history, however, can be traced back to 1912, when electrical engineering education was first introduced at the University’s predecessor institution.

Building on more than a century of tradition in engineering education, the College integrates teaching and research resources in electrical engineering, electronics, computer science, electro-optics, and aerospace systems. It is committed to cultivating professionals with solid theoretical foundations, practical skills, innovative thinking, and a global perspective.

The College comprises:

• Department of Electrical Engineering

• Department of Electronic Engineering

• Department of Computer Science and Information Engineering

• Department of Electro-Optical Engineering

• Graduate Institute of Aerospace and System Engineering

With more than 100 full-time faculty members, the College is one of the major academic units at Taipei Tech.

The College also offers the International Program of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (IEECS) for international master’s and doctoral students. Taught entirely in English, IEECS integrates academic and research resources across the College and provides international students with advanced professional training and research opportunities.

Education and Research

Taipei Tech has long been recognized for its rigorous engineering education and emphasis on practical applications. Continuing this tradition, the College places equal importance on theoretical knowledge and hands-on training, preparing students to meet the rapidly evolving needs of technology and industry.

Undergraduate students receive extensive practical training and are required to complete capstone projects, which are presented and evaluated publicly. Through these experiences, students develop professional knowledge, problem-solving abilities, teamwork, creativity, and engineering skills.

Faculty members collaborate across disciplines and conduct research in a wide range of areas, including:

• Power electronics

• Intelligent transportation

• Wireless communications

• Optical communications and optoelectronics

• Software engineering

• Multimedia communications

• Artificial intelligence and data analytics

• Information security

• Healthcare technologies

• Space and satellite technologies

The College also maintains close partnerships with industry. Through university–industry collaboration, faculty members and students engage in applied research and technology development, helping transform academic achievements into practical applications while providing students with valuable exposure to real-world engineering challenges.

Interdisciplinary Learning

In response to the growing demand for professionals with interdisciplinary expertise, the College actively promotes cross-disciplinary education and provides a variety of interdisciplinary programs and micro-programs.

Areas of study include artificial intelligence and deep learning, data analytics, information security, unmanned aerial vehicles, smart sensing technologies, offshore wind power, natural language processing and interaction design, space technology, and low-Earth-orbit satellite communications and applications.

These programs allow students to expand their knowledge beyond their primary fields of study, develop expertise in emerging technologies, and enhance their competitiveness in both domestic and international job markets.

Educational Objectives

The College is dedicated to providing high-quality education and fostering innovation in electrical engineering and computer science. Its educational objectives are to:

1. Continue Taipei Tech’s tradition of rigorous and practice-oriented engineering education.

2. Provide interdisciplinary professional training that integrates theory with practical applications.

3. Cultivate professional ethics, social responsibility, teamwork, and well-rounded personal development.

4. Promote diverse and collaborative research across disciplines.

5. Strengthen university–industry cooperation and facilitate the practical application of research outcomes.

6. Expand international academic exchange, research collaboration, and global learning opportunities.

The College aims to cultivate professionals and future leaders in electrical engineering, electronics, computer science, electro-optics, and aerospace systems who possess strong professional expertise, practical and innovative capabilities, international perspectives, ethical awareness, and a commitment to society.

International Exchange

The College actively promotes internationalization through academic partnerships, international research collaboration, student and faculty exchanges, conferences, and professional competitions.

The International Program of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (IEECS) provides an English-taught academic environment for international master’s and doctoral students and serves as an important platform for international education and research collaboration within the College.

The College also offers a dual master’s degree program with the University of Texas at Arlington (UTA).

Faculty members and students are encouraged to participate in international academic activities, present their research at conferences, publish in international journals, and collaborate with academic and industrial partners worldwide.

Through these activities, the College seeks to broaden the international perspectives of its students and faculty and strengthen its connections with the global academic and technology communities.

Career Opportunities

Graduates of the College are well prepared for careers in the rapidly developing fields of electrical engineering, electronics, information technology, optoelectronics, artificial intelligence, communications, semiconductor technologies, and related industries.

With solid theoretical knowledge, extensive practical training, and experience in interdisciplinary learning, graduates are highly valued by both high-tech and traditional industries. Many pursue professional careers in industry, while others continue their studies and research, enter academia, or establish their own businesses.

The College’s close connections with industry and its extensive alumni network provide students with a strong foundation for professional development and future career opportunities.
