History
Fu Jen Catholic University was re-established in Taiwan in 1961 and the College of Science and Engineering (originally named the College of Science) was founded in 1963 by the Society of the Divine Word (Societas Verbi Divini or SVD).

In 1963, the College of Science and Engineering started to recruit new students for the Department of Mathematics and the Department of Home Economics and Nutrition. In 1994, the Department of Nutrition & Food Science, the Department of Textiles & Clothing, and the Department of Applied Life Science were excluded from the College of Science and Engineering, and at present, they constitute the College of Human Ecology. Now, the College of Science and Engineering consists of 6 departments, 1 multidisciplinary Ph.D. program, and 2 research centers.

Six departments have been founded since 1963:

 Each department offers both undergraduate and postgraduate programs. There are two in-service Master programs at the Department of Electrical Engineering and the Department of Computer Science and Information Engineering. The Department of Chemistry offers a separate PhD program. The multidisciplinary PhD program, the Graduate Institute of Applied Science and Engineering (ASE), was founded in 2002. Two research centers are Biomedical and Photonic Interdisciplinary Research Center and Research Center of Software and Internet Multimedia.
