The College of Science and Engineering is administered by the Society of the Divine Word. It has seven departments: Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Psychology, Electronic Engineering, and Computer Science and Information Engineering. Each of these departments offers the Bachelor of Science degree and the Master of Science degree. Moreover, Both of the Department of Chemistry and the Department of Psychology have Ph.D. programs. There are approximutely 3500 undergraduate students and 300 graduate students in the college.

The general aims of this college are to educate and train students to take their places as professionals in the fields of science and engineering, and to apply scientific principles to help meet the different needs of today¡¦s society. We emphasize the teaching of science and technology, but we also provide many courses in arts and humanities in order to help our students to develop their overall potential.

Furthermore, we have taken steps to integrate the curriculum across department lines, offering nine interdisciplinary programs in this college. These are the Computational Mathematics Program, Software Design Program, Opto¡VElectronics Technology Program, Electro-Optical Materials Program, Computational Molecular Biology Program, Bioinformatics Program, Biotechnology Program, Microelectronics Technology Program, and the Network Technology Program. Each program requires taking 20 to 30 credit hours of courses in the field of choice. The students are encouraged to select any program they are interested in. A certificate will be granted after finishing all requirements. It will provide them with a stronger background and better knowledge in the designated field, and help them to find a job more easily or to go for advanced studies more confidently.

Research programs in all departments attempt to extend the frontiers of knowledge in various fields with special emphasis on the present needs of the country. Research cooperation with government institutes and with local industry is increasing, thus raising the level of active research done in each department.
