The Department of Electronic Engineering, as one of the representative departments of Kwangwoon university, strives to produce excellent manpower for the electronic engineering industry. The department focuses, through the practicality-oriented education, on providing its students with basic theories of their major studies and capability to apply those theories to the practical use, thus cultivating the ability to work in the field

Introduction

The School of Electronic Engineering is a core and representative division of Kwangwoon University. In an attempt to lead the 21th-century information-oriented society, the School of Electronic Engineering keeps intensive and effective researching and teaching programs by combing 3 related departments; electronic engineering, telecommunication engineering and microwave engineering. Each year has about 300 students with 25 professors. The graduate course for M.S. and Ph.D. are based on the rudimentary study on the undergraduate course and offer sophisticated education for their future advanced professional career. With the guidance of dedicated and highly educated professors and with the newest equipments and experimental environments donated by affiliated companies, the students can learn about advanced knowledge and technology together with practices in the parallel with the theories. During last 25 years, these three combined departments have produced huge amount of well-trained engineers and have done their best for the contribution to national development with extraordinary pride and responsibility. The graduates can advance into prominent companies related with electronics, telecommunications, computers, broadcasting and press industries, government invested institutions, and private research centers. They can play an important role in leading electronic engineering in various fields over the country. The School of Electronic Engineering was established to inherit the foundation objective of Kwangwoon University, which is to give birth to the well-educated professionals who lead electronic engineering, and to realize Kwangwoonian's dream can materialize the cradle of electronic engineering. In this regard, a well-organized curriculum is essential. The division breaks the curriculum into two levels. These are the lower level which offers fundamental and required courses for students to acquire the basic knowledge of electronic engineering and the higher level which provides advanced courses to cover specific major fields. The school provides following specialities depending on the division units: the field of Core Electronic Engineering such as physical electronics, circuit theory, electromagnetic theory, digital engineering, eletronic circuit; the field of Common Electronics Depth such as data communication theory, circuit analysis and synthesis, computer architecture, probability and random signal; the field of Semiconductor and Device such as semiconductor, VLSI etc; the field of Information Communication such as data communication, computer network, optical communication, high speed network; the field of Signal Processing such as digital signal processing, multimedia engineering, and multi-media communications; the field of Microwave Communication such as microwave engineering, antenna engineering, mobile communication. Since students can master the fundamental theories through the lower level courses and increase their own professional knowledge through the higher level courses, they will have a lot of opportunities for their future. One who has finished the basic lower level courses and his required course work from one of the special major fields can advance into the other special major fields like the field of the electronic information engineering, the information communication engineering, and the mobile and satellite communication engineering with a great interest.

Course Objectives

The course objectives of the School of electronic engineering are associated with those of university and college of engineering.

At first, the school of engineering attempts to raise a practical engineer who pursue pragmatism through the basic theoretical education and scientific ideas.

Secondly, the school of engineering targets to cultivate a professional engineer who leads the electronic engineering of the maturing information society. For these objectives, the various professional coursework are offered in the junior and senior level.

Third, the school of engineering points to let the student have the feeling of the R&D and manufacturing. To raise this ability, the professors who had various field experience teach those curriculum such as multimedia engineering, senior engineering laboratory and new media communications, etc.

Fourth, the school of engineering aims to cultivate the creative person who generate new paradigm by autonomous activity. For this purpose, student should complete engineering design at freshman and thesis project at senior.
