Calls for need of higher education in pace with the rapid development in Taiwan industry have prompted the department develop graduate school: Institute of Mechatronic Engineering, offering master as well as doctoral degrees.  Both institutes serve as platforms for developing high-technology techniques and products. The main research areas for respective institute are as follows:

    (1) Mechatronic Technology: mechanism, electronics, sensor, actuator, and controller integration, machine vision and image processing, automatic optical inspection, interactive recreational equipment design, etc.

    (2) MEAMS: microsensor and microactuator, microsystem design and fabrication, optoelectronic measurement, microthermal and fluid system, micro system packaging and testing, RF communication IC design, micro molding            and injection, etc.

    (3) Precision Machinery: precision mechanism and transmission system, precision driver design and control, vibration and noise control, rapid prototyping design, precision machinery design and control, etc.

    (4) Semi-Conductor Technology and BioTech: semi-conductor device design, IC manufacturing process, IC packaging and testing, DNA chip, protein chip and biochip design, etc.

Teaching Features

The department currently has more than 40 staff members and 500 students. The educational goals of this department are :

    (1) To nourish professional engineers of the ability in the field of mechanical engineering both in theory and practice

     (2) To offer trainings in foreign languages, liberal arts and law for well-rounded industrial people

    (3) To boost the level of research skill and improve the ability in developing new technology for industry

The department offers 2-year as well as 4-year programs, both leading to bachelor degree. Special attentions have been paid to the teaching of basic courses so that every student has a sound mechanical engineering knowledge both in theory and practice. For the higher level students, the junior students are required to take all courses that are pertinent to build the foundation for advanced studies; and for the senior students, the department provides more freedom and selectivity so that they can acquire the necessary knowledge for enriching their professional engineer career.

Another unique feature in the department course program is the design of special "academic programs" that are objective-oriented and multi-disciplinary.  According to students’ own aptitude, any of the following four academic programs can be chosen as a specialty: mechatronic engineering program, precision manufacturing program, innovation design program, and fluid and thermal program. Upon fulfillment of the requirement in each program, students will be awarded a certificate verifying their accomplishments and hence boosting their competence in job hunting.

The following Charts show the core courses in four-year program and two-year program.

Orientation

In order to set a pursuing target for the students during their study in the university, a policy so called ‘1-3-1’ Policy has been developed.  The students have been encouraged to work hard in acquiring the following pieces of certification:  
   1 piece of diploma: a useful and honorable NTUT diploma
   3 pieces of certificate: professional skill (national high/general exam、technician)、English proficiency、computer ability.
   1 piece of certification: certification of public services (within campus and/or  community service)
