Main Page > Introduction

National Taipei University was formerly known as the College of Law and Business of National Chung-Hsing University. Besides the well-established foundations in law, business and humanities, the University is extending to a new campuse Sanhsia. The original Taipei Campus is located at the junction between Minsheng E. Rd (8th Blvd) and Jianguo N. Rd (10th Ave), which is a major financial district in Taipei City. The new Sanhsia Campus is located close to Nankang Software Park, Academia Sinica and Hsinchu Science Park, and also near to Sanhsia communication channels, and is thus at the heart of the high-tech zone in Taiwan. Sanhsia Campus is large with convenient transportation. It is located at the foot of Yuan Hill beside Dahan Steam, with beautiful scenery. The Department of Computer Science and Information Engineering was founded in 2004, and began offering undergraduate degree programs, aiming of balancing science and humanities.

Our department is the first technological department established in

a university previously concentrated on law and business programs. It provides many professional training courses. The Colleges of Law, Business and Humanities provide an opportunity not commonly found in other science schools.

Professional training focuses on the integration of theory and practice of IT. Students will receive rigorous computer science training, using state-of-the-art equipment, through various academic activities and industries cooperation exchanges, thus giving them the opportunity to understand both theory and practice in computer science.Students are expected to possess high aptitude in both humanities and technology.

Various presentation on theory and practice are given from time to time to help students to understand existing and future industrial and academic directions

Facilities of the department include laboratorieson Electronic Circuit, Digital Microprocessor, Networking, Multimedia and Image Processing, Mobile Computing, Network Communication, Distributed System, and IC Design. All laboratories are equipped with brand-new and advanced facilities.

Electronics, IT, and telecommunication are among the most fast developing industries currently. Students who graduate from these fields are well positioned to pursue careers in the semiconductor, IC design, IT and telecommunication sectors. A solid educational background in these areas will enhance a student’s employment opportunities. Moreover, the university is strategically located between Hsinchu Science Park and Taipei Industrial Park (including the Jhongli,Tucheng,and Sindian industry areas), giving students easy access to these industries.

National Taipei University currently has total of four departments in the field of Electrical and Computer Engineering, namely Computer Science and Information Engineering Department (our department), Institute of Communications Engineering, Institute of Electrical Engineering and Institute of Information Management. Furthermore, the College of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) will also be established in 2007. The EECS college will eventually have two undergraduate programs departments (Electrical Engineering and Computer Science) and multiple graduate programs. The Master degree program of Computer Science and Information Engineering will be set up first. Medium-term and long-term plans are to set up research institutes in subjects such as Multimedia, IC Design, Digital Content, Virtual Reality and Cybernetics Engineering. One of the major educational objectives of our department is the undergraduate degree program. All our faculty are employed in conjunction with these independent institutes, and are also advising for graduate students. Besides these institutes, the college of Electrical and Computer Engineering will set up the Financial Engineering research center in cooperation with the College of Business, and the Intellectual Property research center in cooperation with the Law School.
