About NTUEE
The Department of Electrical Engineering was founded in 1945 when Taiwan was returned to the Republic of China after the Japanese occupation and Taihoku Imperial University was renamed National Taiwan University. The Graduate Institute of Electrical Engineering was established in 1947 with a Master's degree program, and started to offer programs of study leading to a Ph.D. degree in 1968.
The EE Department has long been one of the top choices of high school students who attend the Joint Collegiate Entrance Examination in the category of natural sciences and engineering. The high quality of the entrants is well known. The faculty members are actively engaged in state-of-the-art research. Each year, over three hundred research grants and contracts are awarded by governmental and private institutions, totaling over 500 million NT dollars or 15 million US dollars. Over 300 IEEE or SCI papers are published in journals each year by the faculty members, an achievement comparable to the top ten EECS and ECE departments in the United States. Such fruitful research outcome with its international reputation, together with decades of teaching experience and contributions by its departments and institutes, has made the Department one of the most competitive departments within the University.
