國際化

The student from the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Zeng Shi-Wei, shares his summer exchange experience at the University of Hradec Kralove in Czech Republic.

Studying abroad has always been a dream of mine, and I plan to pursue a master's degree in Europe in the future. I was fortunate to be accepted into this exchange student program to experience studying in the Czech Republic, Europe. Besides studying, I also hope to gain a deeper understanding of these countries by living and traveling in the local area and neighboring countries.

This summer school's majors are divided into three classes: BIS1, BIS2, and MIT4. The first two mainly offer business management and marketing courses, while the latter focuses more on data analysis and basic AI. Once assigned, you cannot change classes unless you have a strong reason to explain why you need to switch and convince the local director. The course schedule for the first two days consists of major courses (9:00-12:00, 13:30-16:30), Wednesday is for company visits, Thursday for minor courses (9:00-12:00, 13:30-16:30), and Friday will have instructors share industry insights and career planning.

In BIS2, the major courses I'm taking include management, marketing, and cross-cultural business. The courses are not very difficult. Those who fear English can prepare a simple self-introduction, about thirty seconds to a minute long. The professors use simple language but speak quickly, which you can get used to in a day or two. Many professors have taught in multiple countries, so their English pronunciation and teaching content are very professional and lively.

Different from Taiwan, there is only one break during the three-hour classes, which is a real test of concentration. Buying a drink, ice water, or coffee during the break or between classes might help a little. It's important to maintain eye contact with the professor during class. Although no one will mind if you don't listen, it shows respect for the class. Professors often ask questions during the lecture, and it's good to respond actively. Short answers are fine, and professors are usually happy with any response, sincerely responding and praising the effort. There are generally no exams, but there is a group presentation of about five minutes each week.

Participating in a short-term exchange during the summer is a rare opportunity, as it's hard to take half a year to a year off for an exchange during the semester. This exchange program has helped me confirm my goals and provided motivation to move forward. In addition to experiencing studying abroad, meeting peers from other countries is an invaluable opportunity and one of the most precious gains from this trip. It also broadened my horizons through cultural exchange. Living abroad made me realize how accustomed I had become to a monotonous lifestyle. Even though I usually live alone and am used to managing everything myself, adapting to language and cultural differences, as well as slight differences in shopping and transportation habits, still takes time. This exchange allowed me to experience this in advance, making it the most grateful, fulfilling, and rewarding summer I've had.

University of Hradec Kralove(UHK), Hradec Kralove, Czech Rep. Faculty of Informatics & Management.

• Summer exchange program (1 month)
• Exchange program (1 year)
• On June 30, the School of Information and Design of Evergreen University held the opening ceremony of the 2023 Summer Exchange School, and invited the principal, vice-principal, heads of departments of the School of Information and Design, and students from Hradec Kralove University in the Czech Republic. The exchange students and their fellow students from the school participated in the event. The one-month summer exchange school activity aims to provide foreign students with a rich and diverse learning experience. The course content includes virtual reality, 3D modeling, digital manufacturing, cross-cultural communication, Taiwanese food culture and practice, etc. , and arranged a number of off-campus visits, so that Czech students can personally experience the scenery and human feelings of Taiwan. At the same time, the School of Information and Design also sent the same number of Evergreen students to the University of Hradec Kralove in the Czech Republic for a one-month exchange study to experience European culture and lifestyle. Professor Yung Gi Wu, head of the Department of Computer Science & Information Engineering, said that this exchange program is an important cooperation project between our school and European universities. It has been implemented since 2017, but it was suspended for three years due to the impact of the epidemic. Back to normal. He also introduced the history of this exchange program, explaining how it developed from a friendly connection between teachers from both sides to a formal international cooperation program and has achieved good results and feedback in the past few years. He hoped that through this project, the friendship and cooperation between the two schools could be enhanced and students' international perspectives could be cultivated.
