To advance early-stage cultivation of semiconductor talent, Asia University’s Bachelor’s Program in Semiconductor Studies conducted an educational exchange visit on February 2, led by Vice President Huang and Advisor Chiu, together with a team of faculty members, to Hsu-Kuang Senior High School in Nantou County. During the visit, the two institutions reached a consensus to introduce a “Semiconductor Micro-Course” at Hsu-Kuang Senior High School starting in the second semester of the 2025 academic year, providing local high school students with an early gateway to the high-tech industry.
As the semiconductor industry is a key pillar of Taiwan’s economy, precise alignment of talent development is essential. Vice President Huang noted that this visit demonstrates the university’s commitment to investing in local educational resources. Through the professional faculty and teaching resources of the degree program, high school students are given early exposure to fundamental semiconductor concepts and career development pathways, helping to reduce information gaps between education and industry.
Advisor Chiu added that the planning of the semiconductor micro-course will focus on being accessible, engaging, and easy to understand, with content covering fundamental principles, industry trends, and future career outlooks. This initiative is expected to enrich students’ diversified learning experiences while inspiring outstanding students to pursue careers in technology and research.
Principal Mao of Hsu-Kuang Senior High School expressed strong affirmation and appreciation for the collaboration. He stated that the school has long been committed to providing students with diverse opportunities for exploration and thanked Asia University’s semiconductor program for bringing the latest industry knowledge onto campus. He noted that close exposure to the semiconductor field will greatly assist students in making informed academic and career choices.
On the same day, the delegation also visited National Caotun Senior Vocational High School, where in-depth discussions were held with Principal Chang regarding future collaboration in semiconductor education, micro-course planning, and the development of vocational education transformation.
Vice President Huang further noted that Asia University has been working to establish a comprehensive semiconductor education framework in recent years. The visit to Caotun Vocational High School reflects the university’s recognition of the school’s solid foundation in technical and vocational education. Through the integration of university resources, the initiative aims to enable vocational students to gain early exposure to frontline semiconductor equipment and process knowledge.
Principal Chang welcomed the Asia University delegation and expressed strong support for advancing semiconductor education into vocational campuses. He noted that allowing vocational students to access Asia University’s introductory semiconductor courses and micro-course resources—whether through flexible learning periods or professional curricula—would significantly broaden students’ career pathways and enable vocational education to align more closely with national strategic industries.
