Welcome to the Electrical Engineering Department of National Cheng Kung University.
The Department was established in early 1931, the same time as National Cheng Kung University. For over half of the century, the department has continuously committed to improving the practice of electrical engineering through the education of professional electrical engineers. Currently, there are 34 professors, 10 associate professors, and 16 assistant professors, together with an enrollment of 754 undergraduates (including continuing education program), 517 master's students, and 318 Ph.D. students. To accommodate for the rapid expansion not only for the student population but also for the facilities, the department relocated to its newly built twelve floors building in 1998.
Each year from the department, approximately 180 students graduate with bachelor's degrees, 200 students earn master's degree, and 30 students earn their doctorates. More than 8500 EE alumni from over the years have fine accomplishments and have greatly contributed in the various fields.
In recent years, in order to promote the research and development projects to meet the demands of several key-technology disciplines, the department has developed a comprehensive curriculum program to advance the fields of teaching and research. Eight specialized research groups, working independently yet in a cooperative mode, have been established. They are, respectively, Electronics (Solid-State), Electronic Materials, Control, Computer and Network, Power, VLSI/CAD, Communication and Network, and Instrumentation systems.
In the past few years, each research group has actively participated in the establishment of technology basis required for the respective area, which has led to remarkable teaching and research accomplishments. The department plans to further advance along these specialized directions to enhance the teaching and research status, to facilitate the training of highly skill electrical engineers, as well as to provide constructive contributions to national industry. In particular, through the cooperation with industry sector, further research conduct, development, and integration of application-oriented key-technology systems are anticipated.
The newly established Tainan Science-based Park and the future planned Lutsu Science-based Park are only thirty minutes drive away from Tainan city. Both parks focus primarily on the electrical engineering related industry. The department will, thus, play a very important role in the rapid growth of Taiwan's science and technology in the twenty-first century.
