The Department of Electrical Engineering is the largest department at National Penghu University of Science and Technology. It currently comprises a regular four-year undergraduate program in Electrical Engineering, a Graduate Institute of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, and a five-year program in Electrical Engineering.

The four-year university program in Electrical Engineering accepts students from vocational high schools through university entrance examinations or recommendation applications. Graduates are awarded a bachelor's degree upon completion of the program.

The 5-Year Program in Electrical Engineering accepts students from junior high school, allowing them to graduate as equivalent to sophomore students in a traditional four-year university program. After graduation, they can choose to continue their education in the four-year program as junior students, provided they meet the qualifications, or they may seek employment directly. One of the requirements for graduation is the possession of a specific certificate from the Department of Labor in designated areas.

The Graduate Institute of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science accepts students from four-year university programs, and they are awarded a Master of Science degree upon graduation. The major course areas of the NPU Electrical Engineering department include industrial control and green energy. Research directions vary with each professor; please refer to the "Faculty" page for more information.
