Founded in 1963, National Kaohsiung University of Applied Sciences (KUAS) was originally known as the Provincial Kaohsiung Institute of Technology with the aim to educate technical professionals to meet the demands of national economic development.In 2000, the beginning of the new millennium, the Institute evolved to be a four-year technical university and the present name was adopted. This transformation from a junior college to a technological university has opened up a new page for KUAS. After more than a decade of development and expansion, now KUAS has reinvented itself as the leading technological university in southern Taiwan.

Currently, KUAS has four colleges offering top-quality undergraduate and graduate programs, serving more than 13,000 students and 100,000 alumni. The achievements of KUAS in teaching, research, and industry-academia collaboration have been highly recognized by the government. In 2012, KUAS received the grant for the “Plan for Developing Technological University Paradigms” awarded by the Ministry of Education (MOE). In addition, more than 10 research centers have been established on KUAS campus by the MOE and the Ministry of Economic Affairs, engaging in state-of-the-art research in a variety of fields. In recent years, over 500 industry-academia collaboration contracts worth more than NT$300 millions have been signed between KUAS and the leading businesses and companies in Taiwan.

To meet the demands of globalized education, KUAS has been active in establishing international ties with institutions around the world in recent years. The university has signed MOUs

    My family shaped my entire life. Yet, so did I. I went down a road that many do not travel on until they are teenagers or in their early twenties. I was born in Hayward, Ca. and lived there for about twelve years. In those twelve years, I went through a lot. I went to Palma Ceia Elementary School, constantly getting into trouble every day. My mother had been told by many teachers that I would never pass the sixth grade, let alone go to college.…

    In an article originally published in Chatelaine, Métis author Chelsea Vowel argues that Indigenous languages should be taught alongside French and English in Canada. Vowel makes a case for the official protection of Canada’s Indigenous languages, which are currently on the brink of extinction. She brings up the uncomfortable reality that there are constitutional protections and billions of dollars of funding for Canada’s two official languages of English and French, while the languages of the original peoples of Canada are left behind.…

    Georgia Tech Case

    Bray articulated three of the most important objectives of the TTOs at Georgia Tech. Together, they strive to “provide good customer service to the faculty, staff, and students that they serve, to protect the intellectual property that is created at Georgia Tech, and to facilitate the creation of new products and services that benefit society.” (Bray, 2016). To measure the success of this TTO, Dr. Bray stated that beyond the traditional metrics provided to the Association of University Technology Managers (such as invention disclosures, patents filed, and the number of agreements), the OIE looks at more indirect indicators. Positive press, the ability to attract new researchers, the development of start-up companies that create jobs, and other economic impacts on the state of Georgia and the greater Atlanta area are just a few of the measures of success important to the OIE. Dr. Bray was clear to express that Georgia Tech does not measure success by how much revenue the OIE brings in, and spent a significant portion of the interview lamenting the misunderstanding regarding the true purposes of the TTO. In addition to this misperception, the OIE finds managing unreasonable expectations by faculty with regards to the time required to execute agreements a great challenge. Furthermore, the OIE struggles with aligning the varying and often conflicting interests of the stakeholders they serve. However, even with these challenges, Dr. Bray is very proud of the development of faster and more efficient processes and considers the overall operations of the OIE a huge success. Based on my review of their mission, vision, and objectives and the sample listing of success stories available online (http://industry.gatech.edu/category/success-stories), I strongly agree that the Office of Industry Engagement at Georgia Tech is indeed reaching its…

    Not many people are honored to say they were in the presents of a famous poet who read to them. This semester in my poetry class I was in the presence of eight poets including the one I am going to write about today, his name is Lenny DellaRocca. When I first saw Lenny DellaRocca go through the doors into my classroom I had a feeling I was not going to like him for some reason. As soon as he got settled in and started reading my feeling changed about not liking him and I enjoyed every word that came out of his mouth. With his poems I feel like he does not hold back, like he does not even care about how anyone would feel about his words and I liked that about his poems. I favorite poem from Lenny DellaRocca is called ‘The Last Laugh’. The reason why I liked this poem so much is because it is so real. He says what is on his mind and does not change words around to try to sugar coat anything. Some of my favorite parts of the poem are,…
