Why should I choose the IPSD? |
| A1: |

| Q2: |
Why are the three modules "Watershed Management", "Climate Change and Adaptation", and "Community Development"? |
| A2: |
- The three modules are selected because of our three faculty members, Drs. Ching-Yi Horng, Hsin-Chih Lai, and Chao-Hsing Huang have extensive knowledge and experience in the three sustainable development issues. They have also conducted many projects funded by central and local governments and private companies. Thus, with their guidance, the IPSD students will be able to get involved with their projects, observe and learn at the forefront as sustainability advocates.
- The module of "Community Development" is designed to coordinate with the construction of the “Jane Goodall’s Roots and Shoots Eco-Educational Center" in CJCU. This EcoCenter will be built in a cooperative fashion, hence serving its educational purpose through the building process, starting from May to October 2018. Do not worry about how the module will be run after the EcoCenter construction is finished, because its design allows easy remodeling and expansion when needed, its sustainable building materials and bamboo furniture require timely replacements, and its green roofs and walls, along with the landscaping and flood detention area, provide continuous opportunities for action and service learning.
