Student Employment Outcomes

Graduate Students Flow

Alumni resources are an important asset to the school, and alumni perspectives can help the school reflect on the propriety of school operations and curriculum planning. YunTech has collaborated with the Ministry of Education’s “College Graduate Career Flow Tracking Operations” and used the “YunTech Alumni Service Platform” to integrate and promote alumni career care and tracking. We have also tracked the career development status and alumni feedback through questionnaires to review school-operation goals, curriculum planning and implementation, and teaching adjustments.

From 2019 to 2021, alumni tracking questionnaires were used to conduct surveys on the career paths of graduates one year after graduation for students who graduated between the 2017 and 2019 academic years. The questionnaire recovery rate is over 80%, and the employment rate for graduates is over 94%.

Employer Satisfaction Rate

One of the primary concerns of the school is students’ performance in the workplace after graduation. The Human Resources Bank is entrusted to conduct an employer satisfaction survey based on three yearly criteria: job performance, job fitness, and work ethics. The satisfaction score is 5.

Start-up Companies

Our teachers and students have an abundance of R&D energy, and the school actively promotes the commercialization of R&D results to assist teachers and students in realizing their entrepreneurial dreams. We have guided innovative teachers and students to form entrepreneurial teams and launch campus startups through entrepreneurship competitions. The goal is to form the YunTech campus culture of innovation and entrepreneurship and encourage more teachers and students to invest in future innovation and entrepreneurship potentials. A total of 30 new start-ups were established in the past 4 years. Every year, industry experts are invited to select teams with commercialization potential to guide the new campus startup establishments, promote R&D result commercialization, and encourage new venture development. The selected teams can receive free entrepreneurship courses and consulting services, business subsidies, and first-priority admission to the student micro-entrepreneurship training course.

Life Education Outcomes

To teach students basic life-saving skills, the school has offered Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) + Automated External Defibrillator (AED) course. The license passing rates were 97% in 2020 and 94.1% in 2021.

Integrate the Connotation of Life Education into the Existing General Education Curriculum – Implement the Spirit of Holistic Education

Health Promotion Activities

Promote Campus Life Education Counseling Activities

In recent years, schools have paid increasingly more attention to domestic college students physical and mental health. Since 2021, YunTech has applied for new project subsidies to expand the campus life education promotion network. The goal is to connect the Counseling Center with the General Education Center, the Office of Academic Affairs, the Office of International Affairs, and other units of various attributes while continuing to implement the spirit of life education promotion in different aspects such as teaching, academic affairs, administration, and counseling. The contents include “emotional education,” “mental health,” “interpersonal companionship,” and “suicide prevention training” to cultivate the knowledge of care to campus faculty and employee. We aim to fully improve holistic personal development literacy and caring spirit for teachers and students in our school.

Build a “Healing Heart Garden” Rest Area

Our Counseling Center has turned a desolate campus into a “Healing Heart Garden” space to “maintain harmony with nature and learning from life.” In addition to striving for funds to maintain the landscape, create a friendly interactive environment, and experience the vitality of nature, we have also cultivated young students to establish a harmonious relationship between people and themselves, people and others, and people and nature. The goal is to gain a sense of belonging among others, relieve internal stress, and achieve self-acceptance and self-affirmation.

Special Education and Life Education

Our Counseling Center ensures nondiscrimination, fairness, and high-quality education to provide a friendly campus. Our correct understanding and emphasis on special education conform to the spirit of the SDG to protect the rights and interests of people with disabilities, improve the knowledge of special education, and assist special education students in developing their talents and realizing their potential. Furthermore, we will continue to encourage special education students to take steps toward realizing their dreams, make the Love Without Barriers Dream Project a highlight of the school’s special education program, and showcase the school’s “love without barriers” friendly campus spirit.

Gender Equality Education Events

The school provides individual and group counseling services for teachers and students with counseling needs due to gender differences, sexual orientations, gender traits, or gender identities. The school has organized several activities, including “Gender Equality Education Discussion in Graduate School Campus,” “Gender Equality Education Lecture,” “Women’s Film Festival,” and “Gender Film Festival” to improve gender diversity understanding for teachers and students, raise gender awareness, and improve gender equality. We have also invested resources inside and outside the school to expand participation effectiveness and promote the importance of gender issues on campus and in the community. We aim to help people tolerate differences, respect diversity, and implement gender equality education.

Drug Abuse Prevention

In recent years, new drugs have infiltrated our society through various channels with packaging disguised as drinks and candies. They have also invaded campuses and poisoned students. We will continue to build a dense and solid campus anti-drug education publicity network and diverse and effective anti-drug publicity channels to prevent the harm of drugs. Therefore, our school has enlisted the help of volunteers and students from student organizations to invest in anti-drug campaigns by combining service-learning courses with anti-drug propaganda. In addition to disseminating propaganda at various school gatherings, we have created friendly and lively content and recruited volunteers to enter junior high and elementary schools in neighboring communities to “join hands” as big brothers and sisters to educate kids against drugs. The goal is to help children understand the dangers of drugs and develop anti-drug skills at a young age, increase the anti-drug awareness of volunteers or community students participating in the events, deeply cultivate an anti-drug mentality on campus, and create a healthy learning environment for students.

Environmental Sustainability Education Outcomes

Department of Environmental Safety and Health Engineering

Full-time teachers have many years of practical experience and a strong work ethic. We also employ part-time teachers with extensive practical experience to expand the department’s diversity and international features. The goal is to provide students with fundamental mathematical and engineering skills, meet industry demands for environmental safety and health professionals, foster a supportive environment, and inspire the spirit of lifelong learning. The department has received the highest possible rating from the Ministry of Education for a professional department at a national science and technology university, passed the Institute of Engineering Education Taiwan (IEET) Certification exam, and been recognized by the international engineering education community. Our courses place a strong emphasis on helping students earn professional certificates while emphasizing both theoretical and practical training. We frequently offer professional certificate training programs in disciplines like environment or safety to increase students’ employability through theoretical and practical training.

We focus on developing practical skills, place a strong emphasis on applicable topics and practical design training, and offer a variety of laboratories (including 4 teaching laboratories and 15 professional research laboratories). The school has established a “Center for Emergency Response Information,” “Research Center for Soil & Water Resources and Natural Disaster Prevention,” “A Center for Process Safety and Industrial Disaster Prevention,” “Center for Sustainable Development and Green Technology Research,” and “Clean Green Sustainable Innovation Research Center.” The Environmental Protection Administration of Executive Yuan has also established the “Support Center for Air Quality Modeling.” The main personnel of these centers is teachers from our departments, and their goal is to actively pursue industry-government-academia cooperation projects. The positive outcomes and relevant industry-academia training projects have enhanced the students’ practical experiences. In the future, we will continue to progress toward internationalization and collaborate with government and industry policies to train students to become high-level technical talents in environmental engineering, safety and health, disaster prevention, and green ecological resources.
