GOALS AND CHARACTERISTICS
Digital Technology Design is one of the
industries with the most potential in the future.
NTUE’s Digital Technology Design department is a
combination of high technology and humanity. The
mission of our department is to cultivate
professionals in digital content and computer
science fields.
The fundamental (core) courses in Digital
Technology Design include computer science,
multimedia design and learning technology. Also, we
offer four programs (Information technology,
Internet Technology, Multimedia Design and
Creativity, and Learning Technology) as the options.
The main research interests of the 5 faculty
members are in these areas:
• Artificial intelligence
• computational science and engineering
• databases
• graphics and visualization
• networking, operating systems, and distributed
systems
• programming languages and compilers
• software engineering
• theory of computing and algorithms
• creativity and development of electronic games
NTUE is geographically located at the center of
Taipei city. It has a history of 108 years and has a
top education college. The establishment of Digital
Technology Design Department will bring NTUE a
coalition of convention and innovation. Information
technology and multimedia integrate with
conventional departments will propel the development
of digital learning into a higher level.
The Master program in Toy and
Game Design started in fall 2003. The main objective
of the program is to train the students to extend
their professional development in the field of
designing toys and games, and provide advanced
studies not only for academic research but also
production and marketing. One of the disciplines,
toy designing, focuses on player interaction for toy
models, advantaged toys, robot designs, and remote
control aircrafts for all ages. The other
discipline, game design, focuses on exploring the
extreme of player interaction for digital
conferences, digital 3D graphic technology, and
portable gadgets. The resourceful college
environment definitely encourages the students to
design materials for teaching and learning context,
teaching aids, intellectual toys and games, and
cooperative games for elicitation, motivating
learning, felicitating and supporting teaching.
