Introduction
The development goal of the National Kaohsiung University of Science and Technology (NKUST) is to become a pro-
industry university of science and technology. To comply with and implement the development goal of NKUST, the research
and development goal of this department has been defined as “Research and Development of Industrial Technology with 30%
forward-looking vision and 70% practical application.” The human and physical resources devoted to research in this
department are divided into three major groups: electronics, communications, and information. The key research directions
for each group are as follows:
(1) Electronics Group (Optoelectronics, Semiconductor, and IC design)
In recent years, the government has actively promoted the IC industry and the development of thin-film transistor related
devices. The demand for expertise in semiconductor and optoelectronic components will be very high in the future. To meet
the demand for technology development and expertise in the optoelectronics, semiconductor and IC design, the following
areas are selected as the research and development focus of this group:
(
(
(
(
A) Electrical properties of materials used in electronic components.
B) Electrical properties of the electronic components themselves.
C) Research on photoelectric display components.
D) Electronic circuits, systems, and analog IC design.
(2) Communication and System Group
With the rapid advancement of information and communication technology (ICT), the telecommunications service market
has evolved from voice services to diversified services such as data, video, and multimedia. With the development of the
Internet and the increasing demand for personal communication services, the telecommunication industry has become one
of the key cores of Taiwan's industrial development. In recent years, with the 5G communications, the internet of things
(IoT), the artificial intelligence (AI), and the virtual/augmented reality (AR/VR), the telecommunication services have
subverted the past experience model. The combination of ICT and biomedical technology has become an important star
industry in the 21st world. The innovative topics of the integration of the two technologies are very wide, such as medical
imaging, medical electronics, real-time diagnosis, and smart assistive devices, etc. To meet the demand for technology
development and expertise in the ICT and biomedical industries, the following areas are selected as the research and
development focus of this group:
(
(
(
(
(
(
(
(
A) Design of smart systems.
B) Systems and applications of IoT.
C) Theory and practice of medical engineering.
D) Wireless communication technology.
E) Design of antenna and microwave engineering.
F) Optical fiber communication technology.
G) Signal processing technology.
H) New-generation mobile communication and security technology.
(3) Information Group
Taiwan’s information industry, such as the manufacturing of personal computers and their peripheral components,
occupies an important position in the world market. In light of this, long-term fostering and training provided by the school
in software design is essential. To meet the demand for technology development and expertise in the information industry,
the following areas are selected as the research and development focus of this group:
(A) Research on the design of VLSI (very large-scale integration).
(B) Research on biomedical engineering and bioinformatics.
(C) Research on multimedia signal processing and AI systems.
(D) Research on e-commerce and database management systems.
