CSU’s “Mixed Reality Smart Electronic Product Design Program” Recognized as a National Outstanding Program by Taiwan’s Ministry of Labor

Cheng Shiu University’s “Mixed Reality Smart Electronic Product Design Program”, developed by the Department of Electronic Engineering, has recently been awarded the National Outstanding Program Award by the Ministry of Labor’s Kaohsiung-Pingtung-Penghu-Taitung Regional Branch. The program emphasizes the integration of theory and practice, with a particular focus on cultivating system integration skills essential for modern industries. Through hands-on training and corporate internships, students are equipped with real-world competencies, achieving the goal of “employment upon graduation.”

Mixed Reality & Smart Electronics: A Comprehensive Talent Cultivation Model

Spearheaded by CSU’s Department of Electronic Engineering, this program covers a wide spectrum of content including intelligent electronic component design and 3D rapid prototyping technologies. It aims to develop students’ abilities in design thinking, hands-on operation, and systems integration, ensuring they not only possess theoretical knowledge but also practical skills aligned with industry demands.

Students actively engage in product design and fabrication, enhancing their practical capabilities in electronic product development. The integration of 3D modeling further strengthens their competitiveness, particularly in sectors such as sports and leisure product design. These skills not only match current market needs but also give graduates a competitive edge in the job market.

System Integration & Industry Internships: Learning by Doing

The program features a robust link between classroom learning and corporate internships, allowing students to participate directly in real-world product design and production processes. These internships provide early exposure to cutting-edge technologies and industrial practices, helping students develop the competencies required by employers and facilitating a seamless transition into the workforce.

CSU partners with numerous enterprises to offer internship opportunities, enabling students to apply classroom knowledge in real business contexts and gain valuable industry experience. The curriculum also focuses on systems integration, training students to coordinate diverse technologies and resources to ensure smooth product development and successful market launch.

Cultivating Highly Competitive Design Professionals

With the growing demand for smart electronic products—especially in the sports and lifestyle sectors—professionals skilled in mixed reality and smart product design are in high demand. This program is specifically tailored to meet such market needs. Through thoughtfully designed coursework, students graduate not only with hands-on experience but also with the creative capacity to innovate, positioning them as in-demand professionals in the job market.

By integrating practical training, systems thinking, and industry collaboration, Cheng Shiu University ensures its students are fully prepared for future career challenges, enabling them to stand out and seamlessly bridge the gap from classroom to career.
