When you hear that for the last three years all of the universities in the nation have been promoting professional competence and academic service curriculum, what comes to mind? Is it combining social services with academics? Is it making extracurricular activities more exciting? Or is broadening the horizons of university services? Actually it’s all of the above! But you might not know that aside from increasing student’s competence through the addition of professional knowledge, that these research results may be recorded and published in both SCI and SSCI. This will give students different avenues of study as well as let the professor’s research be known around the nation. For this reason, the Office of Student Affairs held the “Professional Curriculum Meets Student Studies and Services” event in the Business and Management Building B302A on December 2nd.

The event was hosted by the Office of Student Affairs’ research assistant, En-tzu Wu, who stated, “This project that increases the student competence both on and off campus is an opportunity to stimulate the professors’ creative abilities through sharing their knowledge and experience.” Also in attendance was Fu Jen Catholic University’s assistant professor of Industrial Management, Zong-ying Zhou, Chungyuan Christian University’s electrical engineering professor, Yao-jen Chang, TKU’s Statistics Professor. Tzong-ru Tsai, assistant professor of the Department of International Tourism Management, Weili Jasmine Chen, assistant professor of the Department of Computer Science and Information Engineering, Jui-fa Chen and professor from St. John University, Jih-fu Tu.

Jui-fa Chen shared his experience stating, “In 2012 we designed a program pertaining to the use smartphones for health related rehabilitation. This semester we have started a curriculum in the master’s program for online software medical treatment through the cooperation of doctors.” Jui-fa Chen went on to explain that they created wireless sensors that could assist patients suffering from urinary incontinence. The doctors explained that patients could rehabilitate damage to the pelvic area with Kegal exercise, but during the recovery process, urinary incontinence is still a problem for the patient. This newly designed wireless sensor has been a great development for the medical world. The success of the students working with the medical staff to design a more convenient recovery process for patients suffering from urinary incontinence has been recorded and published in SCI (Social Contribution Index). Jui-fa Chen closed with, “Technology when used appropriately is truly our greatest gift.”
