The department of Computer Science was established in 1981 under the Business College, and enrolled in a single class. After subordinate to Science College in 1982, the department was changed to be subordinate in Technology College in 2007. In 1986, the recruit of students was changed to two classes, there were total of 120 students recruited every year. In 1998, students enrolled in master class, and every academic year 25 students are recruited.

Teachers’ expertise to the department can cover the field of development, such as software engineering, information security, network and multimedia, embedded systems, and in accordance with the development of the field forming research group. Three undergraduate programs, i.e. Software Engineering, Information & Electrical Engineering and Digital Innovation, are designed for students whose major interest is in computer science. The department also encourages students to pursue further studies abroad, and to provide outlets for applications and assistance, and in addition to increasing student learning experiences, students can also develop an international perspective. With our programs for the Master Degree, we aim at training a group of professional computer engineers to teach or conduct research in the future.
