The Department of Computer Science and Information Engineering stays informed on new trends in information processing and management so that we can predict future industry needs and prepare our students to meet them. The curriculum features and projected future development of the department are outlined below.

A. Curriculum Features:

1.Strengthening students’ level of competence in designing integrated circuits:

Our new, cutting-edge Electronic Design Automation (EDA) lab will allow hardware design students to develop competency in the newest integrated circuit design techniques and hardware. Our connections with alumni in the Central Taiwan Science Park enable us to provide this important edge to our graduates.

2.Incorporating biological technology with information technology:

Biological technology will continue to lead Taiwan to the forefront of industrial achievement. Providence graduates will be leaders in the field because we have united all research teams in the areas of biological and information technology in our classrooms so they will already be pioneers of teamwork in this field. 

3.Developing network multimedia applications:

As we continue to develop network applications, our focus will be on digital image processing, computerized visual effects, voiceover IP, digitalized albums, parallel algorithms, and grid computing.

B. Future Development:

1.Achieve balanced development in both software and hardware and emphasize

   equally both theory and application.

2.Design comprehensive curricula integrating theories, application, and new emerging

   technology.

3.Maintain good co-operative relationship with high-technology corporations.

C. International Students Appeal

Providence graduates can:

1.Find their desired careers in high-technology companies in Taiwan Science Park.

2.Come back here for their master’s degree after they are employed.
