Introduction
The Department of Applied Software provides students with the expertise and experience required in the era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, which is characterized by intelligentization and hyperconnectivity of electronic devices.
The products we use in this new era will be intelligent, connected, and virtualized, which will improve our quality of life. To manufacture these products, companies will need specialized workers with knowledge and skills in artificial intelligence, advanced communications, robotics, and more.
Therefore, the ability to solve the problems of related systems will be important for software and hardware development engineers in the future. As a major that combines computer science, electronics and control engineering, and industrial engineering, students will learn electronic control technology, computer engineering technology, and system integration and operation technology to meet the needs of the times.
