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.

25 Networking services

Wireless networking

Wireless networking enables convenient mobile learning! Yuan Ze's network covers all building floors, but if networking can be carried out indoor and outdoor, it would certainly proffer tremendous convenience to the faculty and students alike. Arising from such spirit, the school’s OLIS (Office of Library Information Services) has been actively engineering our campus wireless network since 2001. In addition to the various buildings' common classrooms, libraries, administration building and student center that are fully equipped for mobile networking, the outdoor areas including the circle and track field are also outfitted, and coupled with some departments' own facilitation, the campus is virtually geared for seamless roaming. As wireless technologies are constantly been updated, progressive planning and facilitation is certainly more economically efficient. OLIS has divided the project into different phases, and is currently seeking suitable contractor.

Roaming Convenience and easy setting are the basic requirement the user ask of mobile networking. With a PC and wireless, the user can access network anywhere on campus without having to neither apply for access permit nor suffer signal interruption due to change of geographic location. In a complicated environment like campus, roaming cannot be ascertained simply by setting SSID to the same; it requires consideration of the user’s network setting must be applicable to all departments and colleges, and not private IP. Therefore no modification is required; this can even be overlooked. Network access is gained directly through ID verification.

Taiwan weather

Taiwan, an Island known as a Pearl of Pacific Ocean, is about midway between Korea and Japan to the north, and Hong-Kong and Philippines to the south. The island has subtropical climate. Summers in Taiwan has the rainy season from May through September. During this time, monsoon and typhoons occur frequently; as the result, the weather can get quite hot and humid. However, winters in Taiwan are quite short from December through February. The weather is moderately cold and dry. Only the island’s higher mountains will have snow falls. Basically, there is still a clear distinguishability between summer and winter; therefore, people living in Taiwan usually need two seasonal clothing: summer and winter. Temperature in Taiwan ranges normally from 15~32. For details information for Taiwan weather, please have a look at the Website: www.cwb.gov.tw

Electrical Appliances

The standard Taiwan voltage is 110 volts. Electrical outlet sockets take a square 2 pin plug (with the exception of shavers that use a different supply which is a 2 pin plug). If the voltage and plugs are different in your country, we recommend that you bring an adapter with you. Any appliance that works on a higher or lower voltage may be damaged if a proper adapter is not used.
