Taiwan’s economic development has entered a new phase. Since faculty and administration firmly believe that improvement in quality of all kinds is based on education, the educational design at the school embodies the concept of equal emphasis on theory and practice and integration of courses at interdisciplinary level. This goal can be realized through the implementation of a master/apprenticeship system and cooperation between industry and academia.

This vision motivated the University to integrate the areas of engineering, design and arts, and management, and to set up five research centers, (design and arts research and advanced vehicle technology center, small and medium enterprise incubator center, engineering research and development center, management research and development center).
