Department of Computer Science
History
The Department of Computer Science at National Pingtung University was founded in 2000 to offer an undergraduate degree. Since 2004, the department has offered a graduate degree. In order to meet the needs of leading technology professionals in the computer and information industry, the department was reorganized into non-teacher education in 2006. In 2010, the Institute of Education Technology was integrated into the department.
Mission
The teaching goal of the Department of Computer Science is to equip students with professional skills, including theories. For digital learning technology, our department combines the Department of Visual Arts to train computer science professionals in digital learning and digital archiving. Since 2004, our department has held a digital learning conference each year. The Journal of Computer Science and Application has been published by our department since 2005.
Faculty (Academic staff)
There are 11 full-time faculty members in our department, including four professors, four associate professors and three assistant professors, all of whom have a Ph.D. degree. Research expertise includes image processing, digital content, artificial intelligence, e-learning, cloud applications, virtual reality, computer networks, computer systems, information security, algorithms, operating systems, circuit design, intelligent computing and monitoring automation systems.
Course Design
In our department, there are 3 areas including Image Processing and Communication Networking, Computer System Design and Intelligent Computing, and e-Learning and Digital Content. As a result of our training, students can become professionals in these areas.
Future Careers for Students
