NDHU CSAE was founded by a batch of Taiwanese-American scholars from United States, Canada. The college was selected one of eight "National Key Bilingual College" for Science and Engineering by the Ministry of Education (MOE) in 2021.[4] The college offers BS, MSc, and PhD's programs with its research center and faculty, including one international member of National Academy of Sciences, four IEEE Fellows, six IET Fellows, one BCS Fellow, nine Distinguished Professors, and 10 of the Stanford's Top 2% Scientists.[5][6]

History

edit

Foundation

edit

In 1994, National Dong Hwa University was established, founding the Graduate Institute of Applied Mathematics as a precursor to NDHU College of Science and Engineering. The Graduate Institute of Applied Mathematics attracted many oversea scholars, including Fu James, Professor of Statistics at University of Manitoba,[7] Wu Tiee-Jian, Professor of Mathematics at University of Houston, and Research Fellows Cheng Philip E. and Chiang Tzuu-Shuh from Institute of Statistical Science at Academia Sinica.[8][9][10]

With Hsia Yu-Ping, Chair of Chemistry at California State Polytechnic University, Pomona, returned from United States, NDHU College of Science and Engineering (NDHU CASE) was founded in 1995 as Taiwan's 2nd institution for Natural Sciences and Engineering to serve the interdisciplinary trend of both disciplines.[11] In 1995, NDHU CSAE was established with 3 graduate institutes - Graduate Institute of Applied Mathematics, Graduate Institute of Computer Science and Information Engineering, and Graduate Institute of Material Science and Engineering. These graduate institutes were founded by many Taiwanese scholars from United States, including Kuo Sy-Yen, Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at University of Arizona, and Wong Ming-Show, Research Scientist of Materials Research Center at Northwestern University as Founding Director.[12][13]

In 1996, NDHU College of Science and Engineering established Graduate Institute of Biotechnology, which offered Taiwan's first degree for Biotechnology. NDHU CSAE established Graduate Institute of Chemistry, which was co-founded by Hsia Yu-Ping, Chair Professor of Chemistry at Yale University, Hwang Wen-Shu, Chair of Chemistry at National Sun Yat-sen University, and Tsai Ying-Ren, Chair of Chemistry at Chung Yuan Christian University. Meanwhile, Department of Applied Mathematics was established and inaugurated the College of Science building (now the Science and Engineering Building I).[14][15]

In 1997, NDHU CSAE established Department of Physics, Department of Life Sciences, Department of Computer Science and Information Engineering, and Graduate Institute of Electrical Engineering. The Department of Physics was with Wang Jixiang, Professor of Physics at North Carolina State University as Founding Chair. The Department of Life Sciences was Taiwan's 3rd oldest academic institution for life sciences.[16][17][note 1][18][19]

In 1998, NDHU CSAE established Department of Chemistry and PhD program in Applied Mathematics, later was one of Taiwan's oldest PhD program in Applied Mathematics. In 1999, the Department of Electrical Engineering was established. In 2000, the Department of Material Science and Engineering was established. In 2001, NDHU CSAE established Graduate Institute of Applied Physics, PhD program in Computer Science and Information Engineering (CSIE), and PhD program in Chemistry (CHEM). In 2002, PhD program in Electrical Engineering (EE) and PhD program in Material Science and Engineering (MSE) were established. In 2003, NDHU CSAE launched PhD program in Applied Physics (AM).[20][21][22][9][23][24]


In 2005, NDHU College of Science and Engineering inaugurated Engineering Building II (now the Science and Engineering Building II). In 2006, NDHU CSAE established Graduate Institutes of Opto-electronic Engineering and Graduate Institutes of Electronic Engineering were established, with Ho Ching-Hwa, Fellow of Optical Society of America (OSA), and Chi Jim-Yong, Chair of Opto-Electronics & Systems at Industrial Technology Research Institute, as Founding Director.[25][26]

Present

edit

In 2008, with the merger of National Dong Hwa University (NDHU) and National Hualien University of Education (NHUE), NDHU College of Science and Engineering integrated NHUE's academic units, including Departments of Mathematics, Departments of Information Science, Departments of Applied Science, and Graduate Institute of Learning Technology. In 2010, NDHU CSAE established the Department of Opto-electronic Engineering and MS program in Statistics. In 2011, NDHU CSAE established established International BS and MS programs in Computer Science and Information Engineering, which offered Taiwan's first English-taught degree programs for Computer Science and Computer Engineering.

In 2012, NDHU CSAE of Science and Engineering opened the 3rd research building, Science and Engineering Building III. From 2012 to 2023, NDHU CSAE established 10 international MS and PhD programs in Applied Physics, Chemistry, Biotechnology, Electrical Engineering, and Material Science and Engineering. In 2024, NDHU College of Science and Engineering launched International BS in Data Science, marking its first college-level international bachelor's program. In 2025, NDHU CSAE launched International BS in Biomedical Sciences and Biochemistry, the 2nd college-level international bachelor's program.
