Curriculum outline
In order to achieve the educational objectives of the graduate school of Electronic Engineering, the curriculum of the school consists of three fields, such as communication network, multi media signal processing and wireless communication. Those fields are connected to the in-depth major subjects of the undergraduate department of Electronic Engineering, which is focused on certification program, so that the students may have basic academic skills when they go on to graduate school.

Basically, the curriculum of the graduate school is composed by stages in consideration of the level of difficulty and systemicity, based on the academic ability acquired from the undergraduate subjects. In reality, in the case of the department of Electronic Engineering, a sophomore student who has chosen the department will complete the subjects such as Electromagnetics 1, 2, Circuit Theory 1, 2, Electro Physics 1, 2, Digital Engineering 1, 2, and Signals and Systems, which are the basic courses for the Electronic Engineering major in the first year after the selection of department. In the 3rd year, he/she will register for the courses such as Circuit Theory 1, 2, Communication Theory 1, 2, which are the basic subjects, and other general major subjects that are the basis of in-depth major subjects. Finally, in the 4th year, the student may prepare for going on to graduate school or get ready to find employment by registering for the courses centered on in-depth major subjects.

After entering the graduate school, the students may study on high-level contents, which they could not deal with at the undergraduate, through the subdivided curriculum for each major field. The connectivity between the curriculum of undergraduate and graduate course of the Department Electronic Engineering is illustrated in the following figure.
