Building New Talents through the Asia Eastern University of Science and Technology Learning Atlas

        Inflation, the pandemic, geopolitical tensions... The world is facing the impact of rapid change, and even businesses continue to seek direction in the changing situation. How should schools find their positioning and characteristics, and then lead students to overcome the ever-changing future and support industries?

        Efficient transformation to respond to industry demand

                Digital technology and artificial intelligence are constantly changing the appearance of industries, and there are also higher requirements for talent. According to the observation of Asia Eastern University of Science and Technology, "data analysis and technology application ability" is the primary condition in order to classify and summarize complex problems, and then find ideal solutions. Secondly, communication among team members is often an important factor affecting efficiency and productivity, therefore, "communication skills and open thinking" are also necessary equipment for workplace workers. In addition, although professional skills are important in the fiercely competitive workplace, possessing a "humanistic literacy and social care spirit", a correct work attitude, professional ethics, and good interpersonal relationships will better meet the expectations of employers. At the same time, it is necessary to demonstrate "global mobility with an international perspective" in order to align with the world in the era of globalization.

        In response to the industry's pulsation, Asia Eastern University of Science and Technology is constantly transforming its teaching design. Focusing on the personalized growth and development needs of students, it plans a new education model. In addition to using cloud computing, Big Data, artificial intelligence and other communication technologies, integrating educational data resources and cross domain knowledge, and creating a smart and efficient digital learning model, In terms of cultivating cooperation spirit and communication and coordination skills, the school also designed team cohesion training activities and communication skills lectures, and promoted "top-notch teams" and "relocation and seedling cultivation" programs through higher education deepening programs, allowing students to learn together with students from other departments and outside the school to find solutions to problems; In addition, students are encouraged to participate in humanities and art activities, care about social culture and natural environment and other public issues, and promote the development of knowledge and ability in line with public welfare undertakings through Service-learning courses and moral cultivation activities; In response to the demand for internationalization, we will promote overseas internship programs, expand students' horizons, and accumulate energy to enter the global market.

        Pragmatic application breaks down the barriers of learning

                Unlike general university education that emphasizes theory and academia, the Asian Eastern University of Science and Technology, which has evolved and grown from engineering and technical colleges, is renowned for its "pragmatic and practical" educational characteristics. Faced with the diverse industrial demands catalyzed by new technologies such as cloud computing, AI, and Big Data, the school has specially set up micro courses to provide professional lectures, technical guidance, and resources for innovation and entrepreneurship from the perspective of both basic theory and operation. Students are encouraged to explore the application of new technologies in different industrial fields, and through interdisciplinary thematic research, teachers and students are encouraged to participate in the innovation process together; Each department also regularly holds new technology application competitions or participates in international exhibitions and competitions. On the one hand, it stimulates students' creativity and provides a stage for showcasing innovative achievements. On the other hand, it also helps to establish connections with the industry, attract attention from enterprises to innovative works, and establish a platform for industry university research cooperation to promote the commercialization of research and development achievements through technology transfer.

        Not only that, Asia Eastern University of Science and Technology also collaborates closely with Far Eastern Group affiliated enterprise on collaboration between industry and school, promoting students to join enterprise internships and apply what they have learned to practical work. At the same time, industry experts are invited to come for guest lectures and collaborative teaching, facilitating students to directly learn from senior executives in the industry and improving their job competitiveness.

        Joining hands with closed enterprises to seize industrial opportunities

        The aging society has brought challenges to the world, but it has also driven business opportunities in the health industry. In view of this, Asia Eastern University of Science and Technology has specially integrated internal resources, offered relevant courses and licenses, and actively cooperated with the group's affiliated enterprises. In addition to developing sports intelligence tips and aging detection technologies, it has also accelerated technology transfer to improve the efficiency of industry and university research and development; In addition, we have collaborated with Far Eastern Memorial Hospital on the "long term care Lezhi service stronghold" project and the production and learning program. Through classroom discussions and practical exercises, we assist students in accessing the actual work environment, understanding practical therapies used for nursing clinical purposes other than traditional medicine, strengthening nursing knowledge and attitudes, and further enhancing the quality of care.

        In addition, the school has also established characteristic laboratories for teachers and students to conduct research, development, and implementation. The 'long term care characteristic classroom' and the 'home health care practice area' are both combined with professional teachers on and off campus to facilitate students' systematic learning and enhance employment competitiveness. In order to gain a deeper understanding of industry trends and market demands, the school also utilizes industry forums and academic courses to guide teachers and students to understand the problems facing the industry, learn how to respond to challenges, and cultivate interdisciplinary talents and problem-solving abilities through cooperation between departments.

                With the rapid development of technology, the learning mode is no longer a single template. Asia Eastern University of Science and Technology plans a new learning guidebook to move industries onto campus, encouraging students to actively explore, balance theory and practice, and become more resilient new era talents!
