Overview

In response to the trend of industrial automation and digitalization, the Department's talent training program breaks away from the conventional division of disciplines and is geared toward the needs of the industry. The curriculum is divided into three major fields: "Smart Machine Design and Manufacturing Credit Program", "Thermal and Energy Engineering Credit Program", and "Mechatronics Credit Program". The Smart Machine Design and Manufacturing Credit Program aims to cultivate knowledge and technology related to computer-aided analysis, design, automated machines and modern manufacturing processes required by industry; the Thermal and Energy Engineering Credit Program aims to cultivate knowledge and technology related to energy transformation, thermal flow analysis and modern energy engineering required by industry; the Electrical and Mechatronics Credit Program aims to cultivate knowledge and technology related to industrial automation engineering, single-chip control, image processing and high-efficiency motor design and application. Students can choose to take two credit-awarding programs according to their professional interests and career path. In addition to the cultivation of the above-mentioned professional knowledge and industry know-how, the department also emphasizes a positive work attitude and teamwork. It cultivates students with engineering theory, humanistic care, and social responsibility. The employment opportunities for our graduates are mainly in the mechanical, aerospace, automation, electrical, electronic, semiconductor, and medical biotechnology industries.

Teaching Objectives

In line with the national industrial development policy, the Department is actively engaged in cross-disciplinary integration of teaching and research in green energy, energy conservation, electric vehicles, smart machinery and manufacturing, and AI automation. The Department's talent training breaks away from the traditional division of disciplines and is geared towards the needs of industry and cross-disciplinary integration, with courses designed in three major areas: "Smart Machine Design and Manufacturing Credit Program", "Thermal and Energy Engineering Credit Program", and "Mechatronics Credit Program". Students may choose to take two credit programs based on their professional vocations and future career paths.

The Smart Machine Design and Manufacturing Credit Program: foster and develop research and engineering technologies related to computer-aided analysis, design, manufacturing, AI automation, engineering materials, and non-traditional processing required by industry.
The Thermal and Energy Engineering Credit Program: foster and develop new energy engineering technology, applied research in computational fluid mechanics, fluid mechanics and modern thermal flow engineering, and other related research and engineering technologies.
The Electrical and Mechatronics Credit Program: foster and develop high-efficiency motor design and control, classical and modern intelligent control theory and its applications, image processing technology and its applications, single chip and firmware development, and the integration of artificial intelligence and robotics application, and other related research and engineering technologies.

In addition to the cultivation of the above-mentioned professional knowledge and industry know-how, the department also emphasizes a positive work attitude and teamwork. It cultivates students with engineering theory, humanistic care, and social responsibility. The employment opportunities of our graduates are mainly in the electrical, mechanical, semiconductor, automation, automobile and motorcycle, plant facility engineering, and medical and biotechnology industries.

Program of Study

Professional learning on mechanical and electro-mechanical field, general courses, related to humanity and science, to cultivate students' prospective humanism qualities will be also involved in our curriculums. To obtain a B.S.M.E. degree, students have to complete 130 credits for the course, a minimum level required, in which 30 are essential for general courses, and 75 are required in his major courses. Besides, some courses related to M.E. application are set to be optional, which have been developed into three major credit courses, namely, Intelligent Mechanical Design and Manufacturing, Heat and Energy Engineering, & Mechatronics. Here students, based on individual interest and career goal, are encouraged to choose any two of three groups, and then have to successfully achieve 21 credits, at least, from each credit group before they get the B.S. diploma.
