📌Introduction to Cross-Disciplinary Learning

✨Please complete your studies according to the curriculum regulations of each program (check the first three digits of your student ID or ask your department assistant to confirm which year’s regulations apply!)
First, let’s talk about what kinds of “Cross-Disciplinary Learning” we have~

1. “Double Major”　    
2. “Minor”　 
3. “Cross-Disciplinary Micro-Program”
4. “Cross-Disciplinary Specialty Program”

Second, let’s talk about the advantages of “Cross-Disciplinary Learning”~

1. Gain professional knowledge in their major department while also having the opportunity to extend into another professional field.
2. Accumulate two or more professional competencies during their studies, which will be a great asset when facing future career challenges.
3. Elevate their added value and make “Cross-Disciplinary Learning” a key to an extraordinary life!!

Note:
According to university regulations, starting from the 2017 academic year, all daytime undergraduate students (except those in certain departments preparing for national examinations) must complete at least one professional program in their major department and one cross-disciplinary learning program (options include “Double Major,” “Minor,” “Cross-Disciplinary Program,” “Cross-Department Specialty Program,” or “Sub-Specialty” (completing three professional courses offered by the department providing the specialty program)), and meet the relevant graduation requirements to be eligible for graduation.

📌Cross-Disciplinary Micro-Programs

Cross-Disciplinary Program – Cross-Platform APP Programming (This program will be terminated starting from the 114 academic year)

🔸Program Introduction

With the rapid development of information technology, this program is specially designed to cultivate cross-platform APP development skills required for industry-academia collaboration, using Visual Studio to develop professional APPs for iOS/Android/Windows that integrate IoT and databases.

Through this cross-platform APP program, students will receive training in various APP system software programming and further design practical APPs that integrate IoT and database access, cultivating high-level cross-platform APP programming talent needed by industry. In other words, it equips students with the ability to be job-ready upon graduation and nurtures cross-platform APP developers in line with global trends.

🔸Program Features and Advantages

1. Cultivate talent to meet industry demand for cross-platform APP programming, reducing the gap between learning and application
2. Enhance students’ knowledge in cross-platform APP programming
3. Strengthen students’ cross-platform APP development capabilities
4. Develop students’ industry-academia application skills related to cross-platform APP programming
5. Cultivate high-quality cross-disciplinary talent to increase graduates’ competitiveness

🔸Career Prospects

This program trains students in Web APP development, Android/iOS APP programming, human-computer interface theory, mobile application development practice, cross-platform smart life and IoT integration, and database-integrated APP development. Instructors provide opportunities for internships and visits to related cross-disciplinary enterprises (e.g., Nantex Industry, Cheng Shin Rubber, Pou Chen Group), allowing students to experience real-world needs and strengthen workplace readiness.

🔸Employment Guidance

The Cross-Platform APP Programming Micro-Program enhances the employability of students from the Department of Computer Science and Information Engineering, Artificial Intelligence, Information Communication, Bioinformatics and Medical Engineering, and Photonics and Communication Engineering. In addition to their primary professional skills, the added value of cross-platform APP programming provides students with more diverse high-quality education and expands future career fields related to cross-platform APP development.
