本學院各系發展重點如下。化學工程與材料工程學系以材料、生物技術、系統工程等領域為發展方向。工業工程與經營資訊學系以系統工程與作業研究、企業電子化與智慧型系統、經營管理等領域為特色。環境科學與工程學系發展重點在大氣模式、地下水、固廢、重金屬污染分析與生態保育。並從地球環境至個人健康，以環境生態與自然保育環境污染防治、環境化學及環境規劃與管理為重點。資訊工程學系以軟體工程、計算機網路、計算機硬體暨嵌入式系統為主。電機工程學系以通訊與網路、積體電路設計及奈米科技等為發展主要領域。自動化與企業協同研發中心特色為配合政府推行自動化科技政策，以強化本校在自動化領域之教學及研究水準，發揮對社會及產業服務之功能。
本學院中工業工程與經營資訊系與佛羅里達州立大學進行五年一貫學、碩士雙學位之合作，學生將可在台灣修習四年大學學程及至美國修習一年碩士課程。同樣的化學工程與材料工程學系與美國New Jersey Stevens Institute of Technology合作辦理五年一貫攻讀學、碩士學位。工業工程與經營資訊學系90-92及94-96學年度獲學校重點系所獎勵，化學工程與材料工程學系91-93學年度獲學校重點系所獎勵，資訊工程學系93-95學年度獲學校重點系所獎勵。
目前本學院化學工程與材料工程、工業工程與經營資訊及資訊工程等三學系設有輔系。資訊工程學系89學年度成立「碩士在職專班」，工業工程與經營資訊學系94學年度「醫務工程與管理碩士在職專班」招生。化學工程與材料工程學系設有「高分子材料與加工學程」，工業工程與經營資訊學系設有「企業協同學程」，資訊工程學系設有「軟體工程學程」。「自動化製造系統學程」由化學工程與材料工程學系、工業工程與經營資訊學系與工業設計學系三系合辦。
The College of Engineering, Tunghai University
The college of engineering at Tunghai University was established in 1960. It was reorganized in 2007 in accordance with the university’s development. It currently contains five departments: chemical engineering, industrial engineering and enterprise information, environmental science and engineering, computer science, and electrical engineering. The college has a research center: industrial automation.
Each of the college’s departments and center has its distinctive characteristics. Chemical engineering emphasizes on advanced material, biochemistry, and chemical systems. Industrial engineering and enterprise information focuses on systems engineering, intelligent systems, and enterprise management. Environmental science and engineering studies environmental ecology, nature conservation, environmental pollution prevention, environmental toxicology, environmental chemistry, and environmental planning and management. Computer science emphasizes on software engineering, computer networking, and embedded systems. Electrical engineering highlights wireless communication, semiconductor design and electronic materials as its development areas. The industrial automation center strengthens the training of automated manufacturing and management, enabling both the faculties and students to be better equipped for the industries.
Two departments are reaching out to have exchange programs with universities abroad. The department of industrial engineering and enterprise information has a 5-year double degree agreement with Florida State university. In the same fashion, the department of chemical engineering works with New Jersey Stevens Institute with such a double degree program. In 2001 and 2005, the department of industrial engineering and enterprise information was awarded one of the distinguished departments at the university. The departments of chemical engineering, and computer science were also awarded the honor in 2002 and 2004 respectively.
At the present time, three of the five departments offer second major courses: chemical engineering, industrial engineering and enterprise information, and computer science. Both industrial engineering and enterprise information, and computer science departments provide master programs as extension education. Special topic course programs are also given: polymer engineering by chemical engineering, collaborative business management by industrial engineering, software engineering by computer science and automated manufacturing systems jointly by chemical engineering, and industrial engineering and enterprise information.
