00:12.278 --> 00:15.048
The educational goals of a university of technology

00:15.048 --> 00:16.149
should be different from the goals of an ordinary university.

00:17.283 --> 00:18.084
A university of technology

00:18.084 --> 00:19.786
trains graduates ready to serve in industry.

00:20.453 --> 00:23.590
When students take industry internships

00:23.757 --> 00:24.891
or take advantage of the Ministry of Education's

00:24.891 --> 00:26.760
industry-university cooperative projects,

00:27.627 --> 00:29.229
these are both instances of industry and schools

00:29.229 --> 00:30.764
joining forces to train talent.

00:36.536 --> 00:38.738
I'm a senior in the casting program in the College of the Future

00:38.738 --> 00:40.807
at National Yunlin University of Science and Technology (YunTech).

00:41.107 --> 00:42.142
I'm also a development engineer at

00:42.242 --> 00:44.644
Cheng Feng Casting.

00:44.811 --> 00:47.380
I typically work at the company

00:47.380 --> 00:48.915
from Monday to Thursday,

00:48.915 --> 00:50.183
and study at YunTech

00:50.183 --> 00:52.185
on Friday and Saturday.

00:52.185 --> 00:54.220
I had already joined the company

00:54.220 --> 00:55.655
during the second semester of my third year of high school,

00:55.655 --> 00:58.458
and I worked there as an intern.

00:58.458 --> 01:00.393
And after I entered university,

01:00.393 --> 01:02.362
I became a formal employee.

01:02.362 --> 01:04.264
Studying and working

01:04.264 --> 01:07.200
are equivalent; to study is to work.

01:11.671 --> 01:13.273
The materials area is in back.

01:13.840 --> 01:15.075
The heating wires are over there.

01:15.108 --> 01:16.676
We are getting this ready.

01:16.676 --> 01:18.845
3-meters, 2650170—that one?

01:18.845 --> 01:19.913
The goal of industry-university cooperative projects

01:19.913 --> 01:21.381
is to let students learn about

01:21.381 --> 01:22.749
and operate

01:22.749 --> 01:24.217
the things that are actually being used

01:24.217 --> 01:26.219
in factories or in industry today.

01:28.555 --> 01:29.722
Do it slowly—that's okay.

01:29.722 --> 01:31.124
What we initially acquire is

01:31.124 --> 01:32.859
basic professional knowledge

01:32.859 --> 01:34.227
and basic professional skills.

01:34.227 --> 01:34.861
What we are taught

01:34.861 --> 01:36.196
it is truly very specialized.

01:36.196 --> 01:37.263
But is this specialized knowledge

01:37.263 --> 01:39.032
something that will help companies?

01:39.499 --> 01:41.201
Run the program

01:41.201 --> 01:42.168
after confirming there are no problems.

01:44.437 --> 01:46.072
In our industry, our production processes

01:46.072 --> 01:48.408
can be considered very advanced.

01:48.408 --> 01:49.542
I encourage students to

01:49.542 --> 01:51.377
use some cases from our company

01:51.377 --> 01:52.479
to challenge their professors.

01:52.479 --> 01:53.780
Were not trying to confront the professors,

01:53.780 --> 01:57.183
but just to let them know

01:57.183 --> 01:59.953
how far industry has currently advanced.

01:59.953 --> 02:01.354
They can then use their perspective

02:01.354 --> 02:03.089
to find solutions for industry.

02:03.089 --> 02:04.524
To see what could be different.

02:04.524 --> 02:06.025
And then…

02:06.025 --> 02:07.727
But, once again, it is the students

02:07.727 --> 02:09.796
who obtain the greatest benefit.

02:10.797 --> 02:13.166
The relationship between school and company

02:13.166 --> 02:15.168
is mutually reinforcing.

02:15.168 --> 02:16.870
The company can provide some

02:16.870 --> 02:19.439
more concrete results.

02:19.439 --> 02:20.940
And the school

02:20.940 --> 02:23.109
can derive some solutions

02:23.109 --> 02:24.811
based on these results

02:24.811 --> 02:27.113
or problems.

02:27.280 --> 02:29.582
I think the two are very complementary,

02:29.582 --> 02:31.017
and they can obtain excellent results together.

02:33.386 --> 02:35.889
Today's experiment is called a tensile test.

02:35.889 --> 02:37.957
A tensile test can help us determine

02:37.957 --> 02:40.193
many of a material's basic mechanical properties.

02:40.293 --> 02:41.561
The school should

02:41.561 --> 02:43.363
strive to enhance the linkage

02:43.363 --> 02:46.633
between academic principles and practice.

02:47.767 --> 02:49.402
In the workplace,

02:49.402 --> 02:50.703
they may only tell you

02:50.703 --> 02:52.705
that if you do this, you'll get that result,

02:52.705 --> 02:54.140
and what is the wrong way of doing it.

02:54.207 --> 02:55.608
But in school,

02:55.608 --> 02:56.776
you can find out

02:56.776 --> 02:58.311
why you have to do it that way.

02:58.311 --> 02:59.546
If we calculate it by hand,

02:59.546 --> 03:00.880
will we be able to find out

03:00.880 --> 03:02.582
its spheroidization rate?

03:02.782 --> 03:04.817
Of course the enclosed area

03:04.817 --> 03:05.485
is the same as its actual area.

03:05.485 --> 03:06.586
That's to say that it's 100%.

03:06.586 --> 03:07.053
Right

03:07.587 --> 03:08.655
The ideal scenario is for

03:08.655 --> 03:10.156
students to gain a multifaceted understanding

03:10.156 --> 03:11.524
of an industry and practical skills

03:11.524 --> 03:13.626
and background knowledge while still in school.

03:13.626 --> 03:15.061
When they enter industry, they will be

03:15.061 --> 03:17.096
more in touch with the current state of the industry.

03:17.096 --> 03:18.965
They can think about both aspects,

03:18.965 --> 03:20.967
and find their own positioning

03:20.967 --> 03:22.502
and future models.

03:30.510 --> 03:31.211
I was in the Drafting Dept. at

03:31.211 --> 03:34.214
New Taipei Vocational High School.

03:34.214 --> 03:37.016
I've enjoyed playing with Legos since I was little.

03:37.016 --> 03:38.818
I like to design things,

03:38.818 --> 03:40.186
and put things together.

03:40.186 --> 03:42.822
I found that drafting suited me well.

03:42.922 --> 03:45.592
So I decided to pursue a technical education.

03:46.025 --> 03:48.761
The first thing you want to look at is its IO:

03:49.229 --> 03:50.830
Input and output.

03:50.830 --> 03:52.198
Now the output

03:52.198 --> 03:53.199
When I entered university,

03:53.199 --> 03:54.267
I was already sure

03:54.267 --> 03:56.970
of what I wanted to do.

03:56.970 --> 03:58.771
What I didn't want to do

03:58.771 --> 03:59.973
was repetitive,

03:59.973 --> 04:01.741
monotonous work.

04:01.741 --> 04:05.011
So I was interested in pursuing design

04:05.011 --> 04:06.045
and development.

04:06.045 --> 04:09.382
I wanted to find things that might need some changes.

04:12.385 --> 04:14.487
In the past, schools traditionally emphasized

04:14.487 --> 04:17.156
theoretical knowledge.

04:17.156 --> 04:18.224
This knowledge

04:18.224 --> 04:19.993
was not closely connected with industry.

04:19.993 --> 04:22.595
You couldn't learn more practical things.

04:22.595 --> 04:23.496
The reason why the Minth Group took over

04:23.496 --> 04:26.733
The reason why the Minth Group took over

04:26.733 --> 04:28.234
Ta Hwa University of Science and Technology

04:28.234 --> 04:29.769
was that it enabled them to train

04:29.769 --> 04:31.337
human resources to meet their needs

04:31.337 --> 04:32.605
human resources to meet their needs

04:32.605 --> 04:34.240
and then retain them at the group.

04:38.578 --> 04:40.346
These experimental factories downstairs

04:40.346 --> 04:42.081
contain automated

04:42.081 --> 04:43.583
CNC machines

04:43.583 --> 04:44.784
with mechanical arms.

04:44.784 --> 04:46.386
One difference from other schools is that

04:46.386 --> 04:47.887
after purchasing the equipment and installing it here,

04:47.887 --> 04:48.921
we hope that

04:48.921 --> 04:49.889
all this equipment

04:49.889 --> 04:50.757
can be used extensively;

04:50.757 --> 04:52.158
we want it to be used.

04:53.092 --> 04:56.696
Visual inspection seems to have a bit of a problem.

04:56.696 --> 04:58.665
It's unable to…

04:58.665 --> 04:59.732
When an item is clearly OK,

04:59.732 --> 05:00.900
it still puts it in the NG section.

05:00.900 --> 05:03.236
Our first-year students have begun their projects.

05:03.236 --> 05:05.505
I think it's very important for them

05:05.505 --> 05:06.639
to acquire competence through actual doing.

05:06.639 --> 05:09.742
We want to learn a battery packaging process

05:09.742 --> 05:13.313
like that used by the Minth Group.

05:13.313 --> 05:15.181
Because we can move a production line in here,

05:15.181 --> 05:16.082
we have installed

05:16.082 --> 05:17.083
a simplified work station

05:17.083 --> 05:18.451
that simulates the actual process.

05:18.451 --> 05:19.519
It uses machine vision, and robots

05:19.519 --> 05:22.689
with grab and release keys.

05:23.089 --> 05:24.223
When we were in school,

05:24.223 --> 05:26.592
we learned a lot of disconnected aspects.

05:26.993 --> 05:29.295
Here we connect together and apply

05:29.295 --> 05:30.863
the things we are learning.

05:31.831 --> 05:32.965
We've successfully

05:32.965 --> 05:34.500
installed the cover.

05:34.500 --> 05:36.469
We already have a preliminary result.

05:36.469 --> 05:37.403
This has brought us closer to

05:37.403 --> 05:40.006
what the Minth Group is actually doing.

05:40.006 --> 05:40.606
So it will be even easier for us to

05:40.606 --> 05:42.575
get up to speed when we get there.

05:43.810 --> 05:45.445
If they have this level of design

05:45.445 --> 05:47.313
and problem-solving ability,

05:47.313 --> 05:49.315
I think when these students enter industry

05:49.315 --> 05:51.317
and face the problems encountered by industry,

05:51.317 --> 05:53.219
they can apply their problem-solving ability.

05:54.287 --> 05:55.788
When students can gain practical experience

05:55.788 --> 05:56.756
while still at school,

05:56.756 --> 05:58.691
while still at school,

05:58.691 --> 06:01.260
we can send them to participate in overseas internships

06:01.327 --> 06:04.731
to give them more real-world experience.

06:05.698 --> 06:08.301
University's of technology seek to train skilled human resources.

06:08.301 --> 06:10.403
We hope that students

06:10.403 --> 06:12.538
don't just learn skills during this process;

06:12.538 --> 06:13.639
what's even more important is that

06:13.639 --> 06:15.775
they can find

06:15.775 --> 06:17.810
their future directions.

06:18.578 --> 06:20.213
While at university of technology,

06:20.213 --> 06:22.415
they can benefit from industrial equipment and instruction

06:22.415 --> 06:25.017
acquired through cooperation with industry.

06:25.017 --> 06:26.619
It means that our school can provide instruction

06:26.619 --> 06:28.921
from both professors and mentors.

06:28.921 --> 06:30.156
After students graduate,

06:30.156 --> 06:32.225
they will be ready to immediately enter industry.

06:32.225 --> 06:34.961
This is the way that our vocational and technical education system should be developing.
