Introduction
The Department of Intelligent Network Technology (INT) of ISU was founded in 2002 and admits 50 undergraduate students each year. Over the last ten years, INT has admitted 350 students, and more than 140 students graduated from our department. Nowadays, communication by electronic devices has become an indispensable way of living. The INT of ISU focuses on three major areas, which are wireless communications, microwave optical fiber systems and broadband networking, to achieve a diversity of communication technologies.
Teaching and Research
The faculty of INT consists of 2 professors,2 associate professors and 3 assistant professors. Most faculty members have devoted themselves to research in the areas of communications and received research grants from the National Science Council and other organizations. Recently, the Department has collaborated with local companies and well-known research institutes abroad. This will be an important factor in improving the teaching capability and raising the research quality and status of the Department.
Curriculum and Development
The Department expects students to specialize in at least one of the three areas: wireless communications, microwave optical fiber systems, and broadband networking. The INT offers well-designed courses which cover an introduction to fundamental theories, a decent study of professional knowledge, and a series of laboratory courses. In addition, the Project Study course is designed to enhance students' ability to solve practical problems. The teaching and research facilities include Electronic Circuit Laboratory, Microprocessor Laboratory, Microwave and Optical Electronics Laboratory, Communication System and Optical Fiber Laboratory, and Broadband Networking Laboratory.
Career Development
Being rigorously trained for four years in INT, students with a B.S. degree can have a broad range of opportunities. They can either apply or pass the entrance examination to enroll in advanced graduate programs such as telecommunications, communication engineering, electrical engineering, optical electronics, and other related fields. They can also find excellent positions in modern technology companies, such as a communication system engineer, electronic design engineer, communication application engineer, network engineer, etc.
