Ideal Our goal is the pursuit of truth. Our passion for the academics and the continuance of traditional culture fuels us to explore the truth of the universe and the human spirit. Our objectives aim at creation and innovation. We study science and develop techniques to improve the quality of technological civilization and natural environment. Our life is based on harmonious nature. We emphasize morality and indulge in arts to attain a life of self-respect and gratitude. Our living rests on a healthy body and mind. We strengthen our body and cultivate our disposition to achieve the highest value of life and the ideal of serving people. 2 Introduction of YZU “Yuan Ze” is named after Mr. Hsu Yuan Ze by Mr. Hsu Yu Shan, our founder, in the memory of his father. Hsu built the school with the mission of “returning to the society and educating talents for the country”. Though the school was only established in 1989 as “Yuan Ze Institute of Technology” and renamed as “Yuan Ze University” in 1997, we have won warm acclaims and were even selected as a “five year five billion top university” in 2005. At the present, we have about 9,000 students, 250 faculty members and 230 administrative staff. Lead by our president, Mr. Perng Tsong Ping, in the area of academic departments, we have 5 schools with 24 departments and 18 graduate institutes; in the area of research, we have 7 research centers; in the area of administration, we have 11 offices. Our campus covers 23.91 acres with 10 main buildings including: Building 1, Building 2, Building 3, Building 5, Building 6, Gym, Student Activity Center, Undergraduate/Graduate/Professor Dormitories and our Health and Recreation Center is expected to open in the summer of 2007. School logo ψԫωΚOne means the beginning of everything. ψցω: The head of the four virtues in I-ching which means the beginning of good deeds ψՕω: The character “Yuan” looks like “Da”meaning big that implies university. ψՠωΚAs Yuan Ze started as the institute of technology, our goal was to cultivate excellent engineers. The character “Gong” also looks like two people carrying things on their shoulders which means that Yuan Ze will shoulder the responsibility to cultivate and educate talents. Circular Shape: Many elements in the university are circular; circles also mean perfect. Flowers on both sides: Cultivating talents for the country. 1989: Historic moment of the school. 3 Introduction of International Language & Culture Center Established in 2006, the International Language and Culture Center functions as the force to promote students language ability including English, Mandarin, Japanese, French, Spanish and Koran; promote international culture; and offer assistance to international students. Lead by Professor Wong Yoon Hwa, we are divided into 3 divisions: Foreign Languages Program, Mandarin Chinese Program, and Culture/International Student Services Program. ILCC Logo 1. The logo of ILCC is formed by a unique combination of four ancient Chinese scripts on oracle bones and four modern English alphabets. These two elements show that the Center embraces tradition and modern, East and West. 2. Both Chinese and English are the most widely used languages of the world today. They are representation of globalization and internationalization. 3. The Chinese scripts occupy the above and central part of the logo while the English is lying below. The formation shows that when a person is well educated with Chinese language and culture and equipped with the English language, he would be very competitive in the age of globalization Mandarin Chinese Class We offer Mandarin classes at different levels to help international students learn the language and culture of Taiwan. For further information, please contact ILCC office for updated information.

Students who are absent without asking for a leave or whose leave application is unapproved considered as an unexcused absence. Rules for handling absence and unexcused absence are as follows. Unexcused absence for one hour is considered as absence for two hours. Students with unexcused absence for sixty hours will be requested to drop out from the program. The course teacher may notify the Office of Academic Affairs to disqualify students who have been absent from a third of the total length of a particular course from the term examination of that course, and the results of that course will be a zero. Students will be requested to defer the study from the school when the total length of absence is a third of the total length of the semester. Students must apply for a leave when they are unable to go to school according to the leave rules of the school established separately. Types of leaves 1. Personal leave: Students must apply for a personal leave one week in advance by registering at the leave application system for a wedding, a funeral, festive occasion, general affairs, participating in activities assigned by the school or handling conscription affairs. 2. Sick leave: Student must apply for a sick leave one week before or after the leave taking day by registering at the leave application system for illness. Approval process Students must register at the leave application system for approval for a leave less than two days. Students must submit valid evidence either in person or by registered mail to the Student Counseling Section for approval within three days from registering at the leave application system a leave for three or more days. The leave application system will automatically notify relevant teachers and the student by email after an application is approved. Students who are prevented from applying for a leave in advance by an unexpected event may make up the application at the Student Counseling Section with valid evidence within one week from the end of the event. Students who are found falsifying a leave application and/or evidence for leave application will be punished according to the Code of Student Discipline and Management Procedures, depending on the severity of offence. 5 Examinations and Grades 1. There are three types of examinations at the YZU in addition to the entrance examination and transfer examination. a. Class examination: to be given by teachers at anytime in the class. b. Mid-term examination: to be given by teachers in the middle of a semester. c. Term examination: to be given at a particular time in the end of the semester. 2.

Many American companies have benefited from Chinese economic growth, as evidenced by rapid and sustained increases in U.S. exports to China. U.S. exports to China increased 28, 22 percent and an estimated 19 percent in 03, 04 and 05, respectively. In 2005, China surpassed the U.K. to become our fourth largest export market. • Meanwhile, China's macro economy continues to grow robustly. According to China’s National Bureau of Statistics, China’s economy increased by 9.8 percent in 2005. Total retail sales rose 13 percent last year and are expected to continue to rise rapidly in 2006 as a result of increased consumer credit, expansion of the retai l sector and increased income in rural areas.

List of Indian Delegates 6. Outcome of the BSM 7. Visitors Contact details 8. Photos. BRIEF OF COUNTRY TAIWAN Taiwan, officially the Republic of China (ROC), is a state in East Asia. Neighbouring states include the People's Republic of China (PRC) to the west, Japan to the northeast, and the Philippines to the south. The island of Taiwan has an area of 35,808 square kilometres (13,826 sq mi), with mountain ranges dominating the eastern two thirds and plains in the western third, where its highly urbanised population is concentrated. Taipei is the capital and largest metropolitan area. Other major cities include Kaohsiung, Taichung, Tainan and Taoyuan. With 23.5 million inhabitants, Taiwan is among the most densely populated states, and is the most populous state and largest economy that is not a member of the United Nations (UN). Taiwan has a history that goes back many thousands of years to the earliest evidence of humans existing on the planet. By around the 1700s, the Dutch colonized the island. The Han Chinese and Hakka immigrants from Guangdong and Fujian provinces made it across the Taiwan Straight to also inhabit this small island country. The Spanish tried to inhabit the country also by the 18th century, but this endeavor was not successful. By the late 17th century, a Ming Dynasty loyalist called Koxinga lost mainland China. Instead, he defeated the Dutch to establish a base on the island.
