About us
Electronic engineering is a discipline that leads core fields in the Fourth Industrial Revolution, including computer science, semiconductors, information, wired and wireless communication, home appliances, robotics, and imaging. In addition, the electronics industry belongs to a high-techno-intensive value-added industry with accelerated speed in technological development, serving as a cradle for venture industries. This is why the technological standards for electronic engineering make up a critical determinant in a country's economic standards.
The Department of Electronic Engineering at Sogang university strives to foster professional human resources and contribute to technological advancements across a broad range of fields: semiconductor devices and design, CAD and integrated circuit design, computer structure and design, super high-frequency circuits, wired and wireless communication systems, Internet and super-speed computer communication networks, signal and image processing, multimedia and computer vision, robotics, medical electronic engineering, and artificial intelligence (AI). Graduates from the undergraduate and graduate schools mostly become attached to Korean and international corporate bodies, research institutes, and universities in electronics, computer science, information, and telecommunication. The relatively small number of graduates from the Department of Electronic Engineering have gone on to make remarkable achievements with startups and successful management experiences in many venture businesses.
On top of the above-mentioned major disciplinary fields, students from the Department of Electronic Engineering can acquire the capabilities to design computational soft- and hardware while learning basic theories and application skills over general electronic engineering. As an industry with added value from technology-intensive high-technology, the electronics industry is the most advanced area in Korea, and, as a driving power in national economic development, boasts unlimited potential for new challenges and opportunities. Choose Electronic Engineering, the backbone for contemporary industries, as your major, and realize your future dreams.
