The research outputs of teachers and students have repeatedly won the competition awards: In the 2022 National Technical College Student Practical Thematic Production Competition and Achievement Exhibition held by the Ministry of Education, we screened from hundreds of works in the highly competitive group of housekeeping, hospitality and food, and entered the finals with “Bao Hu Ning”, which stood out and won the championship.
Excellent performance in the national college entrance examination: In 2022, Ji, Rou-Xi, Lin, Ming-xuan, and Chen, Pin-xun from the Department of Medical Technology ranked first, fifth, and seventh in the top ten of the national college entrance examination. In the 2022 optometrist college entrance examination, Lin, Guan-ting took the third place. In addition,one-third of the top 30 in the country were from our school. Su, Qi-yu from the Department of Nursing and Ji, Rou-xi from the Department of Medical Technology are the best in the country.
C. Improvement in the Publicity of Higher Education
Encouragement of students to apply for and obtain valuable professional licenses The proportion of economically disadvantaged students obtaining Class A professional licenses has increased from 16% to 50% in 2018-2022. This shows that strengthened certificate counseling strategies such as certificate counseling classes, online question banks, and simulated test training, etc., has significant benefits for students to get the licenses.
Building the smart cloud campus: We takes the smart cloud campus as the core, and it is divided into three aspects: smart Health, smart Life (student side), and smart management (teacher side). We wrote programs by ourselves, became the first college in the country to successfully transfer technology from a private university to a national university. In addition, we developed the “HWAI Electronization” APP--which is a smart mobile management platform--to achieve intelligent, mobile, and real-time precise decision-making management effects. During the Higher Education Sprout Project (2018-2022), the “HWAI Electronization” has been gradually improved, and 18 new functions have been added. At the same time, we completed a total of 9 cloud smart campus solutions through the online system to implement the feedback of school affairs research results into the school affairs governance mechanism. For example, this year we created Summary of the School’s COVID-19 Situation to help the school’s management to grasp the dynamic situation of COVID-19 in the school; cooperate with the government’s epidemic prevention measures; and, provide a platform that can immediately remind teachers and students of the latest school response instructions. It obviously helped us more conveniently get the latest news of the epidemic in HWAI.
D. Fulfill Social Responsibility
Establishing the social enterprise operation model: We received the gold prize in the 2022 APSAA Asia Pacific Sustainable Action Awards from the Taiwan Sustainability Energy Research Foundation for our efforts to revitalize the Nanhua-Beiliao community’s free space by establishing a small ice cream shop.
Innovation practical courses: We placed first in the Volunteer Innovation Field Practice University Social Responsibility Competition at Fooyin University, and second in the 2022 USR Field Practice Course Competition at the same university.
