The fruits subsidize the financial deficit of the school budget. The school also adopts the two main characteristics of "work-study practical internship, three Meiji-style professional development education, and the strengthening of character and attitude of all living schools". It is highly praised by all walks of life and educational peer groups, and it is also a model of private education in China. In the 2020 Foresight Magazine University Rankings, our school was ranked 20th in the country, 6th in Technical and Vocational University of Science and Technology, and 1st in Private University of Science and Technology.

In terms of practical research and development, since 2010, it has been awarded as the “Excellent Unit for Industry-University Cooperation” by the Chinese Society of Engineers. Let down the government or the public's expectations of practical R&D for technical schools and colleges. In addition to the practical R&D industry-university cooperation, the teachers of our school are also committed to publishing the results of applied research in international journals. Therefore, the average per capita performance of SCI and SSCI-level papers published by our teachers over the years has also been impressive. In the past two years (2020 and 2019) ) In the statistical data of the Web of Science database, the performance of our teachers in this project is ranked 3rd in the National University of Science and Technology, and 1st in the private University of Science and Technology. Based on the above, it can be found that in terms of knowledge output, the teachers of our school not only have outstanding performance in industry-university cooperation and research and development, but also have outstanding per capita performance in academic paper publication, which shows that the practice and academic research and development of our school teachers have a solid foundation.

Therefore, this bachelor’s degree program will be based on this outstanding achievement and the advantages of the cross-field integration of the artificial intelligence and data science research center, conform to the trend and trend of world technology development, and the "digital country" and "Taiwan AI Action Plan". National policies continue to make efforts for the school's pragmatic research and development direction, highlighting important features and advantages.

  • Coordination with the overall development of the school
