University’s Long-term Development Plan

2018-2024 Middle and Long Range School Development Plan

Since it was founded in 1994, Chaoyang University of Technology (CYUT) has laid a strong foundation in higher education with the concerted efforts of all staff. Facing external challenges and changes in current circumstances, CYUT is making strides in developing the preeminent education outcome without following the external environment. CYUT needs to continue its efforts in dealing with different forces and risks. Due to the limited resources, we should further ascertain our current priorities, determine the position, and then make a breakthrough in challenges in higher education. While CYUT is in its 25th anniversary in 2019, it t is time for the university not only to maintain its accomplishments but initiate new tasks to inspire the next generation. We will have to assess our position and lead CYUT to become an applied university, oriented in cooperation among academia, research, and industry. We have to focus on scientific research along with industrial research in line with the CYUT’s governance notion. Given the transformational experience, we should achieve the school tasks of CYUT rooted in Taiwan, linking up with the world with a sustainable development, and continue to create a new blue ocean in vocational education with a practical and innovative attitude.

Considering changes in the current society, trends of government’s developmental and educational strategies, and present circumstances as well as worldwide situation, CYUT outlines the core strategies for 2018-2024 middle and long term school developmental plan based on the four core strategies followed during 2013-2018 developmental plan. The development strategies are: S1) Enhancing school reputation and making it a permanent feature; S2) Development of the university culture as industry oriented; S3) Training students with professional skills; and S4) Improving the university’s developmental & operational efficiencies. Also, CYUT has to pursue developmental vision and embody educational spirit to exhibit CYUT’s school-oriented specialty. CYUT will achieve educational missions and determine the orientation of being an "Academia-Research-Industry Applied University".
