Founding Purpose
Taiwan’s semiconductor industry has achieved a significant global standing due to decades of relentless efforts by its people. Recent events such as the US-China trade war, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the Russia-Ukraine war have underscored the strategic importance of semiconductor technology, influencing geopolitical relations worldwide. To maintain our country’s technological leadership, higher education must address the industry’s talent needs. The semiconductor sector is highly specialized, with complex operations rooted in fundamental scientific principles. For non-STEM students, acquiring relevant knowledge can pave the way for careers in the tech industry. Our program’s curriculum, focusing on semiconductor and optoelectronic technology, aims to equip non-STEM students with the necessary expertise to enter the tech field or pursue further studies in engineering.
National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University (NYCU) is committed to cultivating top talent, contributing to Taiwan’s leading position in the global semiconductor and related technology industries. The recent COVID-19 pandemic and geopolitical conflicts have accelerated technological transformations in the semiconductor field, creating a surge in talent demand. Recognizing these changes, NYCU emphasizes the need to train not only top-tier professionals but also a broad base of technological talent. Our program’s curriculum focuses on classic subjects in electrical engineering and optoelectronics, employing accessible teaching methods to enhance students’ professional skills. The program integrates scientific theory with practical application, fostering versatile skills that balance theoretical knowledge and hands-on experience. Utilizing existing faculty and industry resources, we aim to increase cross-disciplinary talent cultivation and align education with industry needs.
