Brief Introduction of Yuan Ze University
The University adheres to the principle of "Excellence, Thoroughness, Vision
and Harmony" in anticipation of educating students to be independent,
self-determined, responsible, and cooperative to serve the society and the
nation, and furthermore, contribute to the welfare of mankind.
stablished in 1989, Yuan Ze University may be young by traditional standards,
yet it has been recognized as a model for newly emerging universities within
the short 20 years. As the first and the only university to win the National
Quality Award in 2003, Yuan Ze received an award from the Ministry of
Education for the Teaching Excellence Project in 2005. Successively, it has been
designated by the MOE as one of the top 12 universities in Taiwan, receiving an
award for the Aim for the Top University and Elite Research Center Development
Project since 2005. Granted with the highest honor in teaching, research and
administration, Yuan Ze has become a marvel of higher education, in Taiwan.

Currently Yuan Ze has five colleges including the Colleges of Engineering,


Informatics, Management, Humanities and Social Sciences, and Electrical and
Communications Engineering. There are over 9,000 students with a 2:1 ratio between
undergraduate and graduate students on campus. Aimed at housing key research
centers in Taiwan, our Fuel Cell Center and Communications Research Centers have
integrated all resources and recruited talents in all engineering-related departments at
Yuan Ze through support from the Top Universities Project. With the success of
these two centers, Yuan Ze also places heavy focus on the promotion of overall
teaching and research capacity. The College of Management has established the first
EMBA program in Taiwan and all the courses in the Graduate School of
Management are conducted in English to further connect our students to the
international marketplace. The College of Informatics is the first college in Taiwan to
adopt information as the core for its teaching and research. It emphasizes on practical
experience with the integration between technology and social studies. The College of

Humanities and Social Sciences is working closely with our College of General Studies
to promote teaching and research in humanities, general education, and ethics.

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.

Giving top priority to students in the areas of


teaching and counseling, Yuan Ze emphasizes
education in both creativity and ethics.
Moreover, we are active in the nations
pioneering Classics 50 Reading Project,
YeSir Mentorship Program and promote all
types of activities that will enrich students
extracurricular studies. Founded by the Far
Eastern Group, we have established close
relationships with all of its subsidiaries to form
an industrial and academia alliance. The
internship plan for both domestic and
international students can be fully realized
through such a network. Based on the unique
niche Yuan Ze has created, we provide added
value to students and faculty members and
expect ourselves to be the benchmark
university in industry-academia collaboration.

The main theme of the Universitys development strategy emphasizes differentiation


and internationalization. Through differentiation in curriculum design and research,
we will create our distinguishing characteristics and brand; while in recruiting
outstanding foreign faculty and potential international students with provision of
favorable packages and scholarships/fellowships. The International Language and
Culture Center offers Mandarin and cultural programs for international students;
hosts various cultural activities; and promotes cultural exchange on campus.
As the youngest and most energetic university of Taiwans Top universities, we will
continue to fully utilize our competitive advantages of innovation, quality, and
flexibility. We provide a challenging environment for students to enjoy learning,
develop their potentials and surpass themselves; for faculty to devote themselves to
inspiring and mentoring their students and the pursuit of truth and academic
excellence; and for staff to promote the quality of service and fulfill personal growth.

University Logo
:

yi, one means the beginning of everything.

yuan, the first word (head) of the four virtues in I-ching which means the beginning
of good deeds.

da, the character yuan looks like da meaning big and implies university.

gong, as 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 mean that Yuan Ze will shoulder the responsibility
to cultivate and educate talents.

Circular Shape:

Many elements in the universe are round in shape; circles also mean perfect. To
study in the university is not only to learn the knowledge but also to be an upright
person, which is a kind of perfect.

Flowers on both sides: Yuan Ze cultivating talents for the country, they would have a lot of students
around the world.
1989:

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 schools 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 users
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.

Persons involved in traffic accidents may first mediate between themselves for compensation
settlement if the accident only cased damage to vehicles or possessions, or when if there are only
slight injuries. They may also seek assistance from their insurance firms. If no settlement can be
reached, they may consider taking the case to the arbitration committee at the district
administration of local government for mediation. Another option is to pursue civil litigation at a
district court. (Traffic accidents like this fall within the category of civil affairs, and police are
prohibited by law from intervening).
VI.
When there are people injured in traffic accidents, those involved have six months within which
they may go to the criminal investigation division of the police department or the prosecutors
office of the district court with jurisdiction over the area where the accident took place to request
investigation. In cases involving serious injury or death, investigation is automatically initiated by

Living Expenses
Jhongli City in Taoyuan is one of the inexpensive areas to live in Taiwan. The cost of accommodation,
in particular, will be significantly cheaper than many other areas in Taiwan. You will require an amount of
money for your initial expenses when you arrive in the Yuan Ze University. You should bring sufficient
money for the cost of traveling to Yuan Ze University from your point of arrival. You should also have
money to cover any accommodation, food, local travel and any other incidental expenditure. For these
reasons, you will probably need a minimum of NT$10,000 as your immediate expenses. Credit cards are
widely accepted in Taiwan.
An average international student in Taiwan can expect to spend about NT$12,000 a month on:

Accommodation;
($ 3,500 - 5,000)
Food;
($ 4,200 - 5,500)
Books and other related study materials
Clothing;
Entertainment;
Transport;
Domestic travel;
Telephone;

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 islands
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 list below:
1.
Taiwan Weather Central Bureau: http://www.cwb.gov.tw/eng/index.htm

Taiwan touch your heart: http://eng.taiwan.net.tw/
Electrical Appliances
The Taiwan Power Company provides AC110V/60Hz power for general use and AC220V/60Hz power
for some high power consumption appliances. Most electrical outlet sockets take two flat parallel blades
plug (Type A). For some newer buildings, sockets take a Type B plug, which is a Type A with a round
grounding prong.
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.
