The College of Engineering is composed of six departments, four graduate institutes and three affiliated units. The six departments are Department of Civil Engineering, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Department of Environmental Engineering, Department of Electrical Engineering, Department of Chemical Engineering and Department of Materials Engineering. The graduate institutes are Institute of Precision Engineering, Graduate Institute of Communication Engineering, Graduate Institute of Optoelectronic Engineering, and Institute of Biomedical Engineering. In addition, with the collaboration of faculty from various departments and institutes, the College of Engineering established two top research centers, which are the Center for Environmental Restoration and Environmental Restoration (CERDR) and Center for Advanced Industry Technology & Precision Processing. The three affiliated units are the Machinery Workshop, the Center for Research and Development of Engineering Technology, and the Meng Yao Chip Center. The College has 174 full-time and part-time faculty members (98% of the 146 full-time faculty members have doctoral degrees), 1,840 undergraduate students and 1,365 graduate students. The College offers nine interdisciplinary programs, such as Hazard Mitigation Technology, Environmental Conservation and Pollution Control, Graduate Program for Display Technologies, Manufacturing Engineering, Opto-Mechatronics, Integrated Circuit Design, Communication Networks, Semiconductor Engineering, and Medical Engineering.

The College places equal emphasis on teaching and research. The teaching goals of the College are to provide students both theoretical and practical aspects of all engineering disciplines, to cultivate excellent undergraduates and graduates and to effect national and international academic collaborations and exchanges. Our research aims to create and improve engineering theory and technology, promote innovative and improved techniques for industry, and foster college-industry cooperation and research and development partnership for the Central Science-Based Industry Park. Key and core technologies developed in the College are divided into two methodology groups: one is used to create new products and increase new values, and this includes opto-electronics, information, communication, bio-medical engineering, polymer engineering, precision machinery, nano-technology, and special function materials; the other is to reduce loss and increase durability, and this group contains hazard mitigation, vibration control, and environment conservation. To educate excellent students generation by generation, the College completely provides and continuously upgrades all facilities, books and instruments and even technical projects for teaching and research. The College publishes a three-issue academic journal every year in order to facilitate the faculty and students to present their original and advanced teaching and research results. Being devoted to engineering science and technology development, the College has made outstanding research achievements and some faculty members have been recognized by domestic and international academic societies as leading scholars in their disciplines. For examples, the faculty averagely publishes 1.73 SCI or EI papers per year and two professors won the outstanding research awards from the National Science council, Taiwan in 2003. Funds granted from government agents and industries are more than ten million US dollars every year. In addition, the College and the departments also devote their efforts to irregularly offer training courses, workshops, seminars and conferences for national and international engineers and educators.

The faculty members of the College have established several key-technology research teams according to their technical specializations, in order to actively devote their efforts to not only participate in developing technologies for university-industry cooperation, but also construct closer research and development relationships between the innovative incubation center of the College and all companies in the Central Science-Based Industry Park. To speed up the globalization pace, the College has paid considerable attention to assign strategic allies with international reputable colleges, schools and universities, such as Columbia University in the United States and Waseda University in Japan, to enhance mutual students exchanges, collaboration and academic cooperation, and to host international conferences and symposiums. For future work, the College will continue to plan and establish interdisciplinary education programs for emerging and cutting-edge technologies, to promote college-industry partnerships, to aggressively join international academic exchanges, thereby facilitating herself to become a world-class engineering college. In addition, through technological integration, pragmatic teaching service, effective industry-oriented research and efficient team work, our college will play a dominant role in propelling industry development of the big Taichung area.
