Summary of Phase I of the Project – Performance and Noteworthy Achievements
- Summary of Project Performance
We have fully executed all common and self-assessed performance objectives of the Higher Education Project, exhausting the entirety of the approved budget in the process. Driven by practical teaching, the project was guided by self-assessed indexes such as independent learning, applied practice, and international mobility competencies to customize talent development to the requirements of technical fields. Furthermore, the institution has been focused on advanced teaching and incorporating MIG technicality, as well as being committed to a balanced duality between academia and industry and preparing for internationalization. Resources have also been allocated to provide more funding for financially disadvantaged students. The institution further aims to publicize information, improve the faculty structure, and facilitate continuous learning. Both local agricultural products and industrial transformation have been promoted, with sustainable development at the core.
- Noteworthy Achievements
- Implement Innovative Teaching & Improve Teaching Quality:
- Outstanding achievements on self-learning:
The Mingxiu Academy was launched to guide students through independent learning and self-exploration. Thanks to the academy, talented individuals can develop confidence and charisma, and achieves scores of over 80 (out of 100) on average—considerably higher than the average student GPA. Students have been incentivized to take on challenges: 2,231 people were granted aid in 2022, which increased to 50% compared to 2018.
- Remarkable performances in practical/technical fields:
Cross-grade, practice-oriented courses are on offer; a total of 95.2% of students across the entire institution have experienced a significant increase of professional fundamental practical skills in the 2021 academic year. Our students also excelled in the 48th to 52nd National Skills Contests; seven students won gold medals, four students won silver medals, and three students won bronze medals.
- Proactive student entrepreneurship:
Given the importance of OIE—originality, innovation, and entrepreneurship—we have offered courses and guided 211 cross-school, interdisciplinary, transnational practice performance teams; 10 of which have established startup companies with the assistance of the NCUT counselling group.
- Incremental increase of faculty members dedicated to innovative teaching:
Our faculty members are trailblazers of new paths of teaching by infusing the institution with PBL and MOOCs, both of which have fostered a significant boost in learning motivation, and achieved remarkable results. Members of this group have grown from 57 to 234 since the introduction of the project; a growth rate of 310%. They have also been approved for specific teaching and research projects of the Ministry of Education; totaling 55 projects from 2018 to 2022.
- Incremental increase of quality and quantity of faculty members:
The number of academic papers publicized by our faculty members in the WOS database has grown from 115 in 2017 to 388 in 2022; a growth rate of 237.39%. We won first place in the authorized citation rate among public vocational schools and fifth place in the degree dissertation contribution awards among public vocational schools in 2021. Six professors were nominated in the top 2% of prominent scientists with the most powerful scientific influence in 2020, and in the top 2% of scientists worldwide in the lifetime scientific influence rankings.
- Developing Institution Features:
- MIG Technology R&D:
Five service centers have been founded to support MIG technology, with ongoing cooperation with over 500 corporations. Academic-industrial partnerships totaled 3,060 between 2018 and 2022. The amount spent on technical transformation peaked at NT$15.40 million in 2021; 58.9% higher than in 2017 when the project was not yet in progress at only NT$9.69 million.
- International mobility:
We have recruited 320 international students from 12 countries and engaged 110 institutions in cooperative partnerships; 2.8 times more than previously. Our tier has soared to 451-500 in the QS rankings, ranked 1000th in the THE Global Best Universities rankings while the Department Electrical Engineering and Computer Science entered the list for the first time and is ranked 801+ worldwide, 12th among Taiwan universities, and 67th in the GreenMetric World University Rankings.
- Student financial aid:
Annual funds raised have reached over NT$28 million five years in a row, in addition to subsidies of nearly NT$20 million from the Ministry of Education. A total of 14,257 students received financial aid from 2018 to 2022; 80% of whom were consulted. Among these students, Guo Bai-feng, an underprivileged student of the Department of Electronics sponsored by the Ministry of Education, was awarded the Certificate Master of the Outstanding Technical and Vocational Education Award (the Oscar Award in Technical and Vocational Education) in 2022.
- Two USR Programs:
We have implemented two programs: Category A and Category B, representing entry-level and mid-term programs respectively, assisting the local district office of Taiping to market fruit by establishing webpages to increase sales, among other initiatives. We also helped mushroom farmers boost production by optimizing the growing environment.
The area we serve has now been expanded, with more funding being injected and increasing by 105%; from NT$3.4 million to NT$7 million.
- On-the-job training:
We offer an Industry-Academic Collaboration Program to meet the talent demands of enterprises, which has increased from 28 classes to 54 prior to the implementation of the project.
- Community-based continuing education:
A life-long community-based network has been established, offering 52 classes, compared to 30, prior to the project.
Summary of Phase II of the Project
本校依教育部大專校務研究分析報告、學校校務研究分析及面臨問題，先行全面盤點第一期高教執行成效，分別區分為：
We reviewed the execution effects of Phase I of the Higher Education Project based on the Research and Analysis Report of College Affairs, the Research and Analysis of the Institution, and Problem Facing published by the Ministry of Education. which are divided into:
- 第一期值得再推動面：第一期執行成效佳，第二期持續擴大推動。
- Phase I, Continuous Promotion: The execution effects of Phase I was good. Therefore, promotion will continue and the scale will be expanded in Phase II.
- 第一期檢討與精進面：未達成預期目標，應修正後再推動。
- Phase I Review and Advancement: The expected goals that were not achieved in Phase I will be revised and re-promoted.
- 第二期新措施推動面：因應新增問題，訂定新策略及目標。(如圖2所示)
Phase II Promoting New Measures: Making new strategies and goals to tackle new problems (as shown in Figure 2).
因此本校從一期MIG擴大加乘發展到(MIG)2建構出五大面向，以「重點發展(MIG)2 全面提升學生競爭力」為總目標，訂定出相對應執行目標與策略，同時透過校務研究追蹤分析機制，定期檢討執行成效，並驗證計畫推動後成效改變，具以回饋精進推動執行方案，確保計畫品質，形成高教深耕計畫整體的正向循環迴圈，有關計畫藍圖如圖1所示。
We expanded Phase I MIG and developed (MIG)2, synergizing both to establish five major aspects: "Emphasizing development (MIG)2 to enhance the competitiveness of students overall" is the final goal around which all corresponding implementation goals and strategies will be set. Meanwhile, we reviewed the execution effects regularly via the institution research tracking and analysis mechanism, and verified the effectiveness after making changes following project implementation. We also promoted the execution plan with feedback and improvement to ensure project quality, and formed a complete, positive circle for executing the Higher Education Project. The blueprint of the project is shown in Figure 1.
