Current Status of the Department of Industrial Engineering and Enterprise Information
Established in 1963 as the Department of Industrial Engineering, we were the first academic department established in the industrial engineering field among Chinese speaking countries. We have been able to observe the dramatic changes in the insdustrial environment of Taiwan and follow the flourishing development of the technology industries. Our department prepares this century’s industrial engineers in both nature and intent. Our students are prepared to plan and execute the direction and orientation of industrial engineering as this new century develops. To reflect the development in Taiwan, in 2001 we officially renamed our department as the Department of Industrial Engineering and Enterprise Information.In 1989, we established our graduate program.In 1996, we opened our graduate courses to students accumulating graduate credit. In 1999, we began enrolling Ph.D. students. In 2005, we will enroll students of Continue Education Program in Hospital Management. Currently, we have 480 undergraduates and 110 graduate students. Because of the continuous outstanding performance of our department, we were recently selected as an outstanding department of Tunghai University.
