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 Science and Engineering. The graduate institutes are Institute of Precision Engineering, Graduate Institute of Communication Engineering, Graduate Institute of Optoelectronic Engineering, and Graduate Institute of Biomedical Engineering. 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 166 full-time and adjunct faculty members (99% of the 151 full-time faculty members have doctoral degrees), 1,992 undergraduate students, 1,471 graduate students, 511 master-degree-program students, and 504 Ph D. students. The College offers nine interdisciplinary programs, such as Hazard Mitigation Technology, Environmental Conservation and Pollution Control Program, Graduate Program for Display Technologies, Manufacturing Engineering, Opto-Mechatronics, Integrated Circuit Design Program, Communication Networks Program, Semiconductor Engineering Program, and Biomedical Engineering Program.

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 are to create and promote engineering theory and technology, to advance innovative and improved techniques for industry, to foster college-industry cooperation, and to establish the development partnership with the Central Taiwan Science Park and the Mid-Taiwan’s industries. The main developed high technologies of the College are opto-electronics, information communication and system chip, biomedical engineering, polymer engineering, precision machinery, nano-technology, special function materials, environmental restoration, and technology for disaster reduction.   To educate excellent students generation by generation, the College completely provides and continuously upgrades all facilities, books, and instruments. The College publishes a three-issue academic journal every year in order to facilitate the faculty and students to present their academic 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 world as leading scholars in their disciplines. For examples, the faculty averagely publishes 3.01 SCI or EI papers per year; two professors won the outstanding research awards from the National Science Council 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 Taiwan Science 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 .Furthermore, 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.
