The growth and development of information and communication technologies have led to their wide diffusion and influence in our society. As part of its development program, INHA University designated the field of information and communication technologies as one of the specialized programs in 1999. The Department of Information and aCommunication Engineering (ICE) was founded in 2001. The goal of ICE department is to develop each student's capacity for creative thinking, as well as their understanding of fundamental concepts, so that they will be global leaders of the 21st century.
 
Research in the department of Information and Communication Engineering (ICE) encompasses a broad spectrum of areas such as communications/networking, multimedia systems, embedded systems/VLSI design, optical information systems, and software engineering. Research in the ICE department serves two main purposes: the generation of fundamental knowledge and the education of students who can apply their acquired knowledge to real world challenges. ICE's faculties are organized into five technical interest groups. These groups are highly interrelated and many faculty members are involved in research in multiple technology interest groups. The five technology groups are as follows:

Integrated Circuits and Systems Design
- VLSI design
- System-on-a -chip design
- Intelligent systems

Multimedia System
- Multimedia signal processing
- Computer vision and Pattern recognition
- Multimedia communications and networking
- Computer graphics

Communications and Networking

- Mobile communication

Semiconductor & Optical Information Systems
- Optical communications
- Optical devices & circuits
- Solid stste electronic devices
- Semiconductor modeling

Software
- Operating system
- Database
- Embedded system
- Computer graphics
