Department Introduction
The electrical engineering is a field of engineering that deals with electric energy, which is essential for human life and plays a pivot role in the modern industries. The department is offering various lectures related to electric materials and high voltage, power electronics, electronic equipment, electric installation and application, power system engineering, signal processing and system, control and microprocessor application, which are fundamental for electrical engineers. Also, the department has been playing a vital role in the development of electrical engineering and the relevant industrial fields through education, vigorous research activities and industrial-academic cooperations, including maintaining the harmonious balance between theoretical knowledge and practical technologies.
Educational Objectives
"Training qualified engineers with creativity and practical job skills!"The professional programs of electrical engineering(hereinafter referred to as 'Professional Program') is a 'Voluntarily cyclic-type educational system' proposed by the Accreditation Board for Engineering Education of Korea(hereinafter referred to as 'ABEEK'), which has been operated according to the Engineering Accreditation Standards since March 1st 2002. The Professional Program aims at training electrical engineers equipped with scientific thinking and applicabilities based on the comprehensive knowledge in electronic information technology fields, centering on electricity and system fields.
Currently, on the strength of continuous development of electrical and electronic information industry, the necessity of various and enhanced electrical engineering is rapidly increasing.
In order to satisfy such demands, the role of electrical engineering education and importance of professional training has come to the fore. To meet the needs of the times, the educational objectives of professional programs, which put emphasis on practical skills, are as follows.
1. Training engineers equipped with broad and basic science knowledge
2. Cultivating field adaptabilities through reinforcement of experiments and practical training
3. Training electrical engineers equipped with creative system design ability
4. Training electrical engineers equipped with both expertise and sense of responsibility
