機械工程學系暨數位機電碩士班 Department of Mechanical Engineering and Master Program

系所課程規劃除充分參考國際和國內知名院校規劃，並依國家產業科技發展、系所特色及定位、家長及校友期望、業界需求及學生個人發展和生涯規劃，提供學生最有用之課程安排，以利學生未來繼續深造、從事研發或就業所需之通識及專業能力。本系特依機械科技發展趨勢提供學生最有用之課程安排，並逐年增加選修課程，以主動提供及滿足學生之學習需求，達成全系整體與個人的學習目標。為貫徹系宗旨『培育理論與實務兼備之機械工程人才』為發展目標，提升教學與研究能量，培養畢業生具備核心能力。近期發展重點：

1. 善用本系數位科技之教學軟硬體設備，活化機械學理，增加專業課程內容之立體度，使學生深刻瞭解學理並能透過電腦科技的應用，將學理應用於工程問題之分析及機械之設計。
2. 應用本系 機電、數位製造、熱流、材料、及系統組合實驗室之設施，普遍實施專題研究與實作教學，以培養學生應用相關知識處理工程實務問題之能力。

The curriculum planning of the department not only takes into account the plans of internationally and domestically renowned institutions but also considers national industrial and technological development, the characteristics and positioning of the department, the expectations of parents and alumni, industry demands, as well as students' personal development and career planning. We provide students with the most useful course arrangements for their future academic pursuits, research, or employment needs in terms of both general and professional competencies. Based on the trends in mechanical technology development, we offer students the most relevant and useful course arrangements. We also gradually increase elective courses to actively meet students' learning needs and achieve the overall and individual learning objectives of the department. In order to fulfill the department's mission of "cultivating mechanical engineering talents with both theoretical and practical abilities" and enhance teaching and research capabilities, we aim to develop graduates with core competencies. Recent development focuses include:

1. Utilizing the teaching software and hardware equipment of the department's digital technology to activate the study of mechanical principles and enhance the three-dimensionality of professional course content. This enables students to have a deep understanding of theories and apply them to the analysis of engineering problems and mechanical design through the application of computer technology.
2. Utilizing the facilities of the department's electromechanical, digital manufacturing, heat transfer, materials, and system integration laboratories to implement project-based research and practical teaching. This aims to cultivate students' ability to apply relevant knowledge to solve practical engineering problems.

未來發展分向主要聚焦於機電整合與控制技術之發展，除教學上以此方向規劃多樣豐富化之必選修課程外，為提高學生視野並了解國內學術界或產業界之現況與發展，本所定期邀請校外學者或業界菁英蒞校演講。在此同時，系所專任老師亦將帶領研究生積極從事相關研究，以期除在政府機關委託之各類研究計畫之質與量皆有明顯績效外，相關之論文及專利產出，預期亦將相當豐碩。

此外，由於產學合作是教師將研究成果付諸實現的重要方式，未來亦將是本所推動的重點工作。目前除個別教授和企業訂有相關產學合作合約外，本所目前依所上師資專長及附近產業特性綜合考量下，分成以下數個推動小組︰

1. 通訊及寬頻網路組：由本所及電機系相關專長教授組成，積極與南港工業園區廠商通訊電子及生產寬頻網路設備之廠商洽談相關合作案。
2. 精密機械與自動化組：由本所及機械系相關專長教授組成，由於鄰近工業區內除有相當數量廠商生產自動化或精密馬達機械相關設備可提供產學合作機會外，專業電子製造商許多生產機台亦需要自動化或控制技術協助，以提高生產效率及品質，有鑑於此，此方面合作案已積極與廠商洽談中。
3. 專業軟體與軔體開發組：由本所及資科系相關專長教授組成，由於內湖軟體工業園區成長快速，近年來已發展成台灣最大軟體工業園區，未來成長性無可限量；此部分產學合作機會無限，而本所在機電系統監控所需軟韌體開發工作上，有相當之研發成果，已由相關專長教師積極與廠商洽談相關合作案中。

Future development will mainly focus on the development of electromechanical integration and control technology. In addition to designing a variety of rich elective courses in this direction, we regularly invite external scholars or industry elites to give lectures to broaden students' horizons and help them understand the current situation and development of the academic or industrial field in Taiwan. Meanwhile, our faculty members will lead graduate students in actively engaging in relevant research. Besides achieving significant results in various research projects commissioned by government agencies, we also anticipate substantial output in terms of related papers and patents.

Furthermore, as industry-academia cooperation is an important way for teachers to translate research results into practical applications, it will also be a key focus of our program in the future. Currently, in addition to individual professors having collaboration contracts with companies, we have established several promotion groups based on the expertise of our faculty members and the characteristics of nearby industries:

1. Communication and Broadband Network Group: Composed of professors specializing in our department and the Department of Electrical Engineering, actively engaging in discussions and cooperation with companies in the Nangang Industrial Park that produce communication electronics and broadband network equipment.
2. Precision Machinery and Automation Group: Composed of professors specializing in our department and the Department of Mechanical Engineering, taking advantage of the numerous manufacturers in the industrial area that produce automation or precision motor-related equipment. There are also opportunities for industry-academia cooperation, as many professional electronic manufacturers require assistance with automation or control technology to improve production efficiency and quality.
3. Professional Software and Firmware Development Group: Composed of professors specializing in our department and the Department of Computer Science, due to the rapid growth of the Neihu Software Park, which has become the largest software industry park in Taiwan in recent years. There is unlimited potential for industry-academia cooperation in this field. Our department has made significant research and development achievements in software and firmware development for monitoring electromechanical systems. Relevant faculty members are actively discussing cooperation opportunities with industry partners.
