Department of Information and Communication Systems Engineering

Department Features

Anything related to communication is fair game. A curiosity about "connection" is the key to becoming an engineer.

What mechanisms connect smartphones and the internet, which we use daily without a second thought? Base stations and servers are linked to hundreds of computers and communicate using a set of complex protocols. To understand these mechanisms, one must engage in an integrated study of information communication theory and technology. The Department of Information and Communication Systems Engineering provides an environment where students study antennas, circuits, and other hardware, as well as the rules governing communication protocols and packets, networks, applications, and other software. Our commitment is to develop the next generation of information and communication system engineers.

• Diploma Policy

  The Department of Information and Communication Systems Engineering awards a Bachelor of Engineering degree to students who complete the required coursework and earn the necessary credits within the prescribed period, thereby acquiring the following skills and abilities:

   

  (1) In addition to specialized knowledge, Acquire a broad education, including foreign languages and humanities and social sciences, to contribute to the global community.

  (2) Gain fundamental knowledge in science and mathematics, along with the ability to apply these concepts to real-world problems.

  (3) Understand the principles of information and communication systems, which form the foundation of society, and be able to manage them effectively.

  (4) Obtain specialized knowledge in information and communication engineering, understand the societal demands for communication technology, and propose solutions to problems using communication technology.

  (5) Organize their thoughts logically, communicate them clearly, and engage in discussions. Additionally, independently identify problems and plan solutions using logical thinking and a structured approach.
• Curriculum Policy

  To develop students with the competencies outlined above, the Department of Information and Communication Systems Engineering structures its curriculum based on the following policies:

   

  (1) Complete modules that integrate various humanities and social science subjects with specialized courses, along with English courses designed to gradually build practical conversation skills, so that students acquire a broad education essential for information and communication engineers by the time of graduation.

  (2) In the foundational specialized courses, focus on mathematics and physics to solidify the basics, then progress to more advanced content. Students will then acquire the necessary science and mathematics through specialized core courses related to the field of information and communication engineering. These core courses also provide a strong foundation in computer science.

  (3) In the first and second years, students will study basic courses in information and communication engineering through specialized core subjects. This foundation prepares students to take specialized elective courses in the third year and beyond to acquire the essential knowledge required to become professional engineers.

  (4) To practically verify the knowledge and theories learned, students will take programming and network-related courses, along with practical exercises and experiments in the second and third years. Through these courses, students gain expertise in various programming skills, electronic circuits, and diverse technical applications, equipping them with problem-solving abilities for real-world challenges.

  (5) In the second semester of the third year and throughout the fourth year, students will join a research lab with a small group of peers and engage in research under the guidance of a faculty member. They will read literature, including English-language papers, participate in group discussions, present their research findings, and write reports. This experience will help develop document writing skills, logical thinking, cooperation, and planning abilities. These skills will be further refined through graduation research, where students will identify problems, propose solutions, and evaluate them.
• Admissions Policy

  The Department of Information and Communication Systems Engineering aims to develop professionals and researchers who are involved in the development, design, and operation of communication networks, wireless communication, and measurement systems within the field of information communication. To achieve this, the department ensures that students first solidify their understanding of the fundamental mathematics and physics that underpin information communication, before advancing to specialized knowledge in information communication engineering. Students learn the principles of information communication systems, methods for managing these systems, and develop the ability to propose solutions that meet societal demands for communication technologies. Additionally, to succeed in the international community, students acquire a broad education that includes foreign languages, humanities, and social sciences. They also develop the ability to logically organize their thoughts, communicate effectively, engage in discussions, and identify problems while devising logical and systematic solutions.
