The Intelligent Space System Platform created by an inter-disciplinary team composed of faculty from different colleges won a gold award at the Exhibition of Intelligent Competition held by the Ministry of Education (MOE.). YunTech was assigned by the MOE to develop the platform, a project under the authority of the Center for Application Design of Intelligent Electronics, which is run by the MOE’s Comprehensive Human Resources Cultivation for Intelligent Electronics. The project was jointly carried out by Associate Professor Hsueh Yahsin and Associate Professor Lien Jenn-kai from the Department of Electronic Engineering and Associate Professor Chang Tsen-yao from the Department of Creative Design. With their different expertise, a platform that offers inter-disciplinary courses was established for YunTech’s students. The main focus of these courses is to develop the newest technology and applications with respect to Visible Light Communications (VLC) in the growing Internet of Things (IoT) field. Teachers 4 Light to Life, the gold-awarded product GPS for Elders The Development Center of Cultural and Creative Industries is Playing its Role in Promoting Different Cultural and Creative Designs The Development Center of Cultural and Creative Industries, established by the College of Design, has been subsidized by the Ministry of Education (MOE) under the “Subsidy Directions for Developing Technological University Paradigms” for 5 year. During these years, the center has helped the cultural and creative industries to develop and benefit in different fields. Associate Professor Hsueh Ya-hsin, the project leader,stated that due to the interdisciplinary cooperation and brainstorming involving students from the Department of Electronic Engineering, Department of Creative Design, and Department of Mechanical Design during the courses, 4 applications with attractive appearances and functions were produced. The 4 applications that were on display were A Robot Serving as a Hotel Staff, Light to Life, Confidential System for Office Files, and GPS for the Elders. All the products invented have their own apps, showing their high practicality. These products accomplished positive responses from audiences at the “Exhibition of Intelligent Electronics.” “The Exhibition of Intelligent Electronics” attracted teams from nearly 40 colleges and universities to take part in it. The product Light to Life was produced by students Wang Shou-hui, Chen Yi-kai, and Gang Boufan from the Department of Electronic Engineering and students Liu Chen-yi, Ho Tsai-chen, and Li Chichia from the Department of Creative Design under the instructions of Associate Professor Chang Tsenyao and Associate Professor Hsueh Ya-hsin. and students use their knowledge in different areas to brainstorm new ideas for creating applications, such as uses of interior space, uses in difference contexts, the outer appearance, and functions.
