The rapid development of the internet has brought major changes to our society, economy and lifestyles. There have also been major advances in semiconductor technology. Computers are now a part of every kind of electronic device, and these devices are connected to communications networks, forming a ubiquitous information society. It is therefore becoming more and more important to train information technologists to handle this electric and electronic technology. The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering aims to do this by fulfilling the following course aims:

• ①To provide students with knowledge of fundamental aspects of electric and electronic engineering, such as electromagnetism and electric and electronic circuits, and give specialist training in areas such as semiconductor engineering and electric engineering.
• ②To provide students with knowledge of information and computational engineering and give specialist training in software programming and network systems, to produce flexible engineers who can handle new technical fields combining electrical and electronic technology and information technology.
• ③To train technicians who can think about the effects of technology on society and the environment and use electrical and electronic technology to tackle energy and environmental problems.
• ④To improve students' ability to solve problems in the electric, electronic and information fields by teaching them to see things from a global perspective and improving their communication and presentation skills.
