Division of Electrical Engineering

Program Description

Electrical Engineering at KAIST is a research oriented department with 15 research centers in semiconductors, control and systems, microwave and lightwave, computer and circuit design, communication, and signal processing. The department includes about 55 faculty members, 800 graduate and 350 undergraduate students, and 40 administrative staffs.

The educational objective of the department is to foster men and women with talents who will be leaders in electrical engineering. To achieve our objective, the bachelor science program emphasizes the fundamentals of modern electrical engineering from devices to systems; the masters of science program emphasizes professional skills that the industry demands, and the doctor of philosophy program encourages creative research that will be beneficial to human kind.

The operational objective is to produce future leaders with vision, creativity and communication skills through research and education which will have dramatic effect on our future world.

The curriculum characterized by diverse cooperation with industrial agencies, understanding of theory and concepts by in-depth study as well as experimental verifications, and variety of group seminars is organized so that the students can fully enhance their technical knowledge and develop their ability so to put their knowledge into practice.

Electrical Engineering of KAIST pledges to make constant and sincere efforts to educate information- and technology-minded leaders for free competition in the 21st century.
In the undergraduate program, various fundamental courses in electrical engineering are offered including areas in circuit and semiconductors, control and systems, and telecommunications. Basic concepts in analog and digital domain are introduced from devices to systems.

The circuits and semiconductor area is focused on semiconductor technology which is one of revolutional industrial technology, which includes semiconductor component and VLSI design technologies. In the VLSI design field, computer-aided IC design and software development for design automation is introduced. In the semiconductor component field, basic semiconductor fabrication and physical analyses are introduced.

The control and systems area is focused on mathematical modeling for various dynamic systems including robots, airplanes, and satellites; and also control system analysis and design technology to make their behavior desirable.

The telecommunication area is focused on various theoretical aspects of wired and wireless communication technologies, including optical communication and computer networks.
