Introduction

    With the rapid development of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and the urgent need of the market, ICT plays an important role in the development of the industry. The ICE department began with a master program in August 2002. Then the undergraduate program was inaugurated in August 2007. The curriculum of ICE department emphasizes on two fields: 'Information network' and 'Communication system.' ln 2012, the ICE department was accredited by the Institute of Engineering Education Taiwan (IEET), both in undergraduate program and master program. The IEET accreditation bridges the department to international academic agreements such as Washington Accord and Sydney Accord. And the IEET accreditation expands the territory of student's career worldwide. For the further development, four fields are set for the ICE department: Network application and multimedia progranming, network planning and management, embedded systems, and communication systems.
