KSU is one of the few universities sponsored by the International Cooperation and Development Fund (TaiwanICDF), to offer such an unprecedented four-year collage program to outstanding international students. KSU has long partaken in various internationally cooperative projects. In 2002, KSU worked side by side with TaiwanICDF to provide technical assistance in plastic injection and precision mold to Costa Rica and Republic of Dominican. Technical staffs from Taiwan worked in these two countries to offer courses and on-site problem solving assistance. KSU has also hosted a series of international symposiums on bio-engineering, nano-technology, and precision molding, thanks to funds provided by the Ministry of Education, Taiwan. The current program is designated to nurture students to be novel and well-cultivated engineers and scientists with good expertise for modern engineering. The goals of current program include: 1. To encourage foreign students to learn relevant culture courses as selective ones, thus enabling students to learn within a multi-cultural environment. 2. To make arrangements for students to have opportunities as an intern, to visit and interview Taiwan technology industries in order to understand Taiwan technology industrial models. We hope to increase foreign students’ desire to work in Taiwan in the future. 3. To cooperate with famous schools, recognize each other’s programs, promote dual academic degrees together. 4. To invite visiting professors to give lectures in the program. Create and increase the interactions between students and visiting professors. 3 ◆Program Objectives Kun Shan University locates at the suburb of Tainan city, which was the capital of Taiwan from1900. Only five miles to KSU locates Tainan Science and Industrial Park, which is a village dotted with high-tech manufacturers. In the village stands the headquarters of world-leading TFT-LCD manufacturer, CMO, and the largest IC OEM firm in the world, TSMC. The core courses of this program include CAD/CAM, materials, mechatronics, opto-electronics, energy science, and green technology. Courses of Chinese culture and local culture are also offered. Visiting and apprenticeship to local injection machine and mold makers is added into the training courses as well. The required courses include special topic project that is designed specifically to cultivate students to be future leaders in areas of plastic injection and precision mold. In terms of humanism, the aim is to cultivate students to be aware of social values in the entirety, with the purpose of fully understand different influences and changes in which technology will be brought to our society. In fierce global competitions, Taiwan’s high-tech industry appears to be the unique operating management models, which are well-known for qualities, such as: fast delivery, high mobility, combination between industries and completion of machinery systems. The program is designed to combine nearby technological industry’s relevant information and resources entirely. Our faculties will include professionals from technological research departments and technological enterprises. Furthermore, internship opportunity and technological industries visits will be part of the program. 4 ◆Core Courses for Mechanical Engineering Program Compulsory Courses: Calculus, Physics, Workshop, Chemistry, Computer Programming, Mechanisms, Electronic Devices, Engineering Mathematics, Engineering Mathematics, Material Engineering, Computer-Aided Engineering, Applied Mechanics, Manufacturing Processes, Mechanics of Materials, Thermodynamic, Machine Design, Industry Management, Special project, and ME special topic presentation.
