PhD in Department of Electrical Engineering

Electrical engineering is the discipline concerned with electricity, electronics, and electromagnetism, and their application in systems such as power generation and distribution, electronic devices, communications, and control systems. It relies on a strong foundation in mathematics and physics, and at advanced levels extends into specialized topics such as power electronics, control theory, semiconductor devices, and communication systems. A doctoral program in electrical engineering is built around independent, original research resulting in a dissertation, generally addressing a focused technical problem within a subfield such as power systems, control systems, semiconductor devices, or communications. Over an extended period, a candidate designs and conducts experiments or theoretical analysis, evaluates results, and publishes findings that contribute new knowledge to the field. This work develops the ability to lead independent research and to communicate technical results to the academic and engineering community, preparing graduates for careers in academic research, industrial research and development, or senior technical roles in electronics, power, and communications industries. This doctoral program is offered by the Department of Electrical Engineering at Tatung University, located in northern Taiwan. Instruction is delivered in English, allowing international candidates to pursue doctoral research in this field in Taiwan without requiring Chinese-language fluency. A PhD undertaken in Taiwan in electrical engineering situates a researcher within a country with a substantial electronics and technology manufacturing base.
