1.2 Degree Programs: Interdisciplinary Curriculum Planning Concept and Characteristic

1.Focus on strengthening students' cultivation of computing knowledge and skills, be able to conduct demand analysis and system design in specific application fields, and design courses for students in various discipline.
2. Interdisciplinary courses emphasize teamwork, which can train students with system integration capabilities.
3.Leverage the advanced courses in computing/professional fields of existing departments, with course guides and course maps.
4.Some courses will be connected with industry, and teachers with interdisciplinary expertise and industry experts will jointly guide students to implement application topics.
5.There are more than 20 teachers across the colleges of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, Engineering, science, and Management.
6.Link industry, academia, and research resources to provide a comprehensive interdisciplinary application-oriented integrated teaching and research environment!
