Ph.D. Program

Educational Objectives & Features

This institute focuses on the integration of computer and communication technologies. It is oriented toward the development of practical technologies to meet the needs of the industrial specialists in computer and communication engineering, as Taiwan developing its Asia-Pacific operation center and national information infrastructure. It will also promote substantial cooperation between the university and the associated industries..

This institute concentrates on the development of four areas:

 A.     Computer Engineering:Software, hardware, firmware, human interface, microcontroller, micro-electronic application, information application, embedded system, image processing, and electro-medical engineering.

B.     Communication and Signal Processing:Spread spectrum communications, mobile communications, data communications, signal processing, information theorem, error-code correction, speech recognition, and network application.

C.     Electromagnetic Engineering:High-frequency circuit and measurement, RF integrated circuit, antenna design and measurement, electro-wave propagation, high-speed digital transmission techniques, microwave IC design, and microwave components.

D.     Integrated Circuits and Systems:Mixed-signal chip design, digital communication chip design, IP design, analog IC design, electronic design automation, hardware-software co-design, embedded system, and SOC platform design.

Furthermore, it stresses the integration and application of the above subject areas and also promotes substantial cooperation between the university and the industries associated.
