The Department of Computer Science and Engineering is committed to excellence in both teaching and research. Our curriculum is designed to balance strong theoretical foundations with practical applications. In addition to classroom instruction, courses are complemented by laboratory work, hands-on practice, project-based learning, and guided discussions led by faculty members and teaching assistants. The Department also actively participates in the planning and implementation of interdisciplinary academic programs across colleges and departments, providing students with a solid, comprehensive, and diversified foundation in computer science and engineering.

Each year, the Department undertakes numerous research projects commissioned or funded by government agencies and research organizations, including the National Science and Technology Council (NSTC), the Ministry of Education (MOE), the Fisheries Agency, the Ministry of Agriculture (MOA), the Ministry of Transportation and Communications (MOTC), Taiwan Semiconductor Research Institute (TSRI), the Taiwan Testing and Certification Center (ETC), the Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI), the Institute for Information Industry (III), and local governments. The Department also maintains close industry–academia collaborations with leading information technology companies.

To strengthen students' practical competencies and career readiness, the Department has established internship partnerships with leading companies, including SYSTEX Corporation, Wistron Corporation, Chunghwa Telecom, and QNAP Systems, Inc. These collaborations enable students to bridge the gap between academic learning and professional practice through valuable industry experience.

Looking ahead, the Department plans to establish specialized research and development centers that integrate regional research resources and foster collaborative innovation. Through these initiatives, the Department aims to become a leading hub for information technology research, innovation, and talent development in Northern Taiwan.
