“Three-Practice” Competition (Practice, Experiment, Internship)
National Yunlin University of Science and Technology held a grand achievement exhibition on June 2, 2026, at the International Conference Hall. The event focused on students’ practical work, experimental learning, and internship experiences, demonstrating the strong outcomes of the university’s “dual-axis transformation” strategy.
Through hands-on practice, in-depth observation, and industry-based internships, students strengthened their understanding of theoretical knowledge while developing cross-disciplinary problem-solving skills. The process also cultivated teamwork abilities and practical competencies, contributing to the training of highly skilled and industry-ready talent.
Project Highlights
This year’s “Three-Practice” Competition received submissions from 34 student teams, with a number of finalist projects addressing important social issues and emerging technologies.
One notable project, “Perceptive Herbal Intelligence,” integrates IoT technology with generative AI to modernize the traditional herbal medicine industry. By implementing automated temperature and humidity monitoring alongside AI-driven anomaly response recommendations, the system significantly reduces the risk of herbal material deterioration. In addition, its age-friendly UI/UX design helps bridge the technological gap in traditional industries and improves accessibility for elderly users and caregivers.
Another project, the “Smart Communication System for the Elderly and Caregivers,” addresses communication challenges in a super-aged society. By integrating physical input devices, AI algorithms, and ambient lighting control, the system provides an intelligent communication support solution. It aims to serve as a human-centered model for future home care environments, enhancing emotional connection and interaction quality.
The “Electronic Companion Pet” project combines technological monitoring with emotional companionship. Its social interaction features encourage elderly users to engage more actively in social activities outside the home. The team also plans to further optimize AI conversation functions to better align with the communication styles and preferences of older adults.
Overall, these projects demonstrate the integration of IoT monitoring, AI algorithms, and elderly-friendly design principles. They effectively bridge the digital divide in traditional industries and reduce barriers between senior citizens and modern technology. The innovations not only showcase the practical applications of automation and generative AI, but also offer forward-looking solutions for long-term care and home-based caregiving—balancing industrial applicability, technical precision, and human-centered design.
University Perspective
Yuntech President Prof. Chang Chuan-Yu stated that the university actively encourages students to develop creativity and engage in pedagogical innovation. By focusing on social issues, exploring practical applications, and reflecting on real-world challenges, students are able to connect academic knowledge with practice.
Through participation in competitions and the flexible application of learned skills, students are not only inspired to innovate but also cultivate interdisciplinary collaboration and competitive, practice-oriented competencies.
