Let’s play Bamboo

We are very glad to have our local masters in our class and have this wonderful introduction to the characters of bamboo. We not only learned the material from theory but also experienced it through practices. While bamboo is currently used as environment-friendly material, we are looking for its future possibility – aesthetic, functional, and also technological.

Concert: A Dialog between Flutes and History

I just finished my flute concert this year in Hsinchu, in a historical remains – the sixth fuel factory, which is built by Japanese during the WWII. The building was later used for KMT army’s stay after the war. However, since KMT has never been able to “recover” mainland China, the solders staying in this building have to build their homes in the factory. “Buldings in the building” is therefore a unique architectural feature of this historical remains.

Experiencing Autonomous Car

We are at Taiwan Car Lab experiencing the autonomous car developed by the NCKU (department of electronic engineering, Prof. Jyh-Chin Juang’s research team). We also got a very nice introduction from Dr. Longyao Zhang about how Taiwan Car Lab is organizing and serving their “driving classes” as well as “driving tests” for autonomous cars from all over the world.

X-College, the 10th college, is a virtual college at NCKU, which focuses on interdisciplinary learning programs and trans-disciplinary research cooperation. This wonderful program has started on 20th. Sep. 2019, and we just had an exciting course kick-off about the theme this year “FUTUROLOGY”. All teaching staffs giving their introductions about the courses all agreed that “we would like to be students of this program.” All presented issues in this program, including artificial intelligence & future design, circular economy & future city, autonomous mobility & smart society, emotional living & trend design, and virtual interaction & innovation, are challenging but so fascinating. Join us!
