全球視野下的工程師:陽明交大-維吉尼亞大學全球化教室

本課程探討全球化語境下工程師的養成,專業認同,社會責任與創新模式。本課程將與維吉尼亞大學工程與社會系合作,以全球化課堂的方式進行,着重培養學生以下能力: 1. 跨人文與工程領域的主動學習 Interdisciplinary and active learning 2. 跨國界與跨文化的思維 Transnational and cross-cultural perspectives 3. 批判性的思考全球與地方的關係 Reflection and critical thinking 4. 跨文化語境下偏見的自覺與反思。Awareness and Reflexivity 5. 跨文化的溝通能力。Cross-cultural communication 這些能力將有助於工程系學生打開國際視野,深入思考未來職業規劃,人生目標與工程師社會責任 Course Description Engineering programs like to promote innovation in product creation. However, issues about what it means to be an engineer, and how engineers from different cultures identify themselves and their jobs have seldom been addressed. This course aims to provide this missing link, by encouraging students to engage with the following questions: How do you situate yourself and your profession in the changing globe, where new innovations, as well as increasing crises and tensions such as the pendemic, trade/tech wars among countries are rapidly and changing our life? Does any of these impact your career choice, identity and goal of being an engineer? What are the advantages, contributions as well as disadvantages and limitations being an engineer in Taiwan when facing these grand challenges? Drawing from history of science, STS and global studies, this course will offer a historical and geopolitical account of examining the history and contemporary practice of engineering in US, China and Taiwan. It will be operated under the NYCU-UVA Global Classroom, a global learning platform for students to engage in realtime dialogues with peers from the US, to explore cross cultural and self-directed learning about their engineering education in different regions, professional identity formation, and explore how to be better prepared for future job market and contribute their expertise to the local and global society.

What are the characteristics of a Taiwanese engineer? Are they different from engineers from other regions? How do you picture yourself and your profession in the current changing globe? You'll make a 15-minute short film as your term project to help your American partners understand your engineering education and the engineering culture in Taiwan. The project is divided into 5 tasks, each is 15% of total grade). For each assignment, you will prepare a 5-10 min video clip to respond to the following questions, and exchange it with your global partner. You will then provide written comments on each other’s video. During the course period, a Discord Forum will be set up to enable real-time discussion and feedback. HW1. 介紹你自己,你為什麼要選擇交大工學院? 你心中的工程師模範或典型? 你對未來職業與生活的想像? 你對美國及美國工程師的印象? Introduce yourself. Why did you choose the School of Engineering in NYCU? Do you have any engineering role model? How do you envision your future career and life as an engineer? What are your impressions of the engineers in the United States? HW2: 你的工程師訓練與校園生活。哪些元素構成你在交大的工程師的訓練與生活? (餐廳?服裝?實驗室?宿舍?打電動?社團或其他社會活動?) 請用影像捕捉這些活動與空間,幫助你的美國夥伴理解台灣的工程師與工程教育Portray your engineers training and campus life in NYUC. What components constitute your daily life and practice as an engineer in NYCU—give some concrete description such as the daily schedule; the space you have daily activities such as restaurant, laboratory, classroom, dormitory, gym, etc.; the dress code; the students’ societies or social events you join; how engineer students date? What video games/leisure entertainment do you play? Capture the spatial-temporal dimensions of these activities to help your U.S. partners understand engineering life and engineering education in Taiwan HW3: 你對工程師在全球化語境下的想像與實踐。你認為21世紀的工程師有什麼特質?面對什麼樣的挑戰? 需要什麼樣的技能與訓練? 在台灣的教育環境與體制下你面對什麼挑戰與困境?如何克服? How do you envision the role and responsibility of engineers in the global context? What global situations and challenges do you think engineers are facing?
