School running concept

Since its founding, the school has taken the motto of "loyalty, faith, diligence and courage" as its spiritual benchmark and educational goal, and cultivated students with the characteristics of "do your best to be a person and do things, keep your word true, be honest, be active and diligent, know your shame, know your illness and work hard". Education is a long-term plan for cultivating talents. The school strives to create a high-quality learning environment and cultivate excellent maritime professionals for the country.

Integration of humanity and technology in shaping well rounded people with caring and love toward society and the sea

Professional education integrated into industry focusing on practice and theory

In order to meet the needs of social and industrial changes at home and abroad, strengthen students' internship, experimental courses, and off campus internship training, the academic orientation of each department should be established, and the school running characteristics should be highlighted. We will make joint efforts to plan the "last mile" employment program in combination with relevant industries, so that students can integrate with the workplace as soon as possible after graduation, and achieve the educational achievement of "entering the job market after graduation".

Dual focus on teaching and research emphasizing innovative research and industry academic collaboration

The connotation of teaching is practical and innovative, and students' practical ability to solve problems is strengthened through cross domain technology integration. Through technology research and development, we can transform various scientific and technological research achievements and know-how into physical production technology with commercial value, so as to strengthen the international competitiveness of the industry.

With the rapid development of maritime industry in southern Taiwan, the university is endowed with unique advantages. By using its equipment and human resources, the university is closely integrated with marine related industries in the form of education and training, construction and education cooperation, giving full play to the functions of the University's marine industry technology research and Development Center, innovation and education center, and crew (merchant ship, fishing boat) training center, so that the university can become a leader of marine industry in southern Taiwan Best partner.

Care for every student and cultivate talents with workplace competitiveness

It is a University of marine science and technology in the technical and vocational education system. Most of its students are from maritime, agricultural, industrial and other higher vocational graduates. The school is concerned about every student. First, it should strengthen the subjects that are insufficient in the past, appropriately adjust the course content, increase credits, internship or experimental hours, and grant practical skills in the workplace. It is necessary to help every child to catch up with the expectations of the industry, so that students will have the competitiveness in the workplace when they graduate.

Integrate all kinds of resources and strengthen industrial competitiveness

Effectively integrate talents and various software and hardware resources, organize the best research service team across fields, and assist the industry to improve its R & D capability. By using the special teachers, books and equipment of the University, we can handle the return education, provide lifelong learning and research channels for the industry and alumni, and provide students with internship and employment opportunities. Taking the problems of the industry as the research topics of students' practice or thesis, we can integrate the research energy with the needs of the industry, and make the graduates become the high-level technical talents needed by the industry.

Constructing international learning environment and promoting the goal of Globalization

Globalization and internationalization are the inevitable trend of global development in the future. It is an important task for university education to actively cultivate students' quality based on Taiwan and global outlook. For many years, the school has been actively constructing an international learning environment. In order to improve students' foreign language ability, it has established an English learning park. For students with weak English ability, it has formulated measures to strengthen students' English teaching, hired excellent foreign language teachers, and implemented after-school tutoring teaching in spare time, so as to implement the teaching policy of actively improving students' foreign language ability.

In order to achieve the goal of international high-quality university, we will spare no effort to promote international academic exchanges and promote international industry university cooperation. In recent years, it has continued to carry out two-way academic exchanges with foreign maritime related universities. It has signed academic cooperation programs with more than 30 Maritime Universities in the United States, Japan, Korea, Australia, New Zealand, Panama, Indonesia, Vietnam and Chinese mainland, and exchanged students with some schools.
