Introduction

The Department of Semiconductor and Electro-Optical Engineering originated from the " Electro-Optical Semiconductor Group" of the Department of Electrical Engineering of our school. The Electro-Optical Semiconductor Group was established in 1998, and a semiconductor laboratory was established at the same time. It was the first vocational colleges to be established domestic technical in Taiwan.

In response to the development of the high-tech optoelectronics industry in Tainan Science Park, the laboratory has been further upgraded to a "semiconductor center. Using existing instruments and equipment and gradually expanding advanced process systems, it can perform research in conjunction with the industry, allowing for a close integration of industry and academia. , to achieve the integration of academic theory and application.

  In order to expand and cultivate talents in optoelectronic semiconductors and provide sufficient human resources for the industry, our department has 15 full-time faculty members, including 7 professors, 5 associate professors, and 3 assistant professors, all of whom hold PhD degrees. All faculty members guide students to research practical topics related to the industry and let students to connect with the semiconductor and optoelectronics industries early.

A brief overview of the development history of our department is as follows:

In 1998, the Electro-Optical Semiconductor Group was established.

In 2002, the College of Engineering was established.

In 2004, the Department of Electro-Optical Engineering was established.

In 2005, the “Department of Electro-Optical Engineering” was established to enroll four-year undergraduate students, and the “Graduate Institute of Electro-Optical Engineering” was also established.

In 2008, the undergraduate and graduate programs were accredited by IEET.

In 2012, the undergraduate and graduate programs passed the second cycle of IEET accreditation.

In 2019, the undergraduate and graduate programs passed the third cycle of IEET accreditation.

In 2021, the undergraduate and graduate programs passed the fourth cycle of IEET accreditation.

On August 1, 2023, the department was renamed to the “Department of Semiconductor and Electro-Optical Engineering.”
