Chair:Kuo, Chin-hwa The DepartmentEstablished in 1969, the Department of Computer Science and Information Engineering is one of the earliest programs of computer science and engineering in Taiwan. The department was reorganized on the basis of the original Management Information System Program under the Graduate Institute of Management Science.
Currently, the department has 25 full-time faculty members, in conjunction with 42 part-time instructors. The undergraduate program covers all aspects of computer science, information engineering, software applications, and computer theory. With the newly developed technologies in computer networks, multimedia computing, and telecommunication, the department offers various elective courses in those related areas. In 2009, there were about 903 students in the Department, including 162 Master’s students and 57 Ph.D. students.
The Department offers academic degrees of BS, MS, and PhD in Computer Science and Information Engineering, and MS degree in Networking and Communication. The Department faculty and students are involved in a wide range of research areas. Several research labs have been established with continued support by the University as well as the government agencies (e.g., National Science Council of the Republic of China) with large research grants.

Globalization is one of the distinguished features of our department. Starting in 2000, some of the graduate courses have been taught in English. A series of lectures in our graduate program will be delivered in English in the future. One of the perspectives of our department is to admit international graduate students, under the permission of the Ministry of Education and Tamkang University.
In the past few years, the department faculty have carried out several joint research projects with collaborators from Hong Kong, Japan, China, Russia, Canada, and some other countries. International research activity is another active perspective. Our faculty members constantly travel overseas to share and exchange professional expertise and experiences with researchers from other countries. We will continuously make efforts to build up the department's reputation in the international community.
