Taiwan has long been the hub of communications in the Western Pacific, and has grown into a strong and important entity in the global economics owing to the government"s devotion to the infrastructure of common education and industrial advancement. While people value the lifestyle of fashion and beauty as well as the living environment, more and more products and service with humanistic design made by mechatronics engineering become critical and delicate.

We aim at close links by means of strategic alliance for the integration of local and foreign resources to cultivate our students to think globally, value teamwork, embrace life-long learning, and serve mankind as a global villager.
Health and leisure management includes "health promotion, digital tourism, leisure and recreation, eco-tourism and exhibition management". Having attracted wide attention as a trend to catch up, new departments related to health and leisure management have been established in succession in universities in Taiwan since more than a decade ago.
According to the "Tourism development vision" upheld by Tourism Bureau, Taiwan had achieved the goal of establishing itself as an island of industry, economy and trade in the twentieth century while gearing towards the aim of making itself as an island of green, technology-oriented and silicon-islands in the twenty-first century.
Over the past decade, Taiwan has witnessed the shift of industrial structure, out-relocation of labor-intensive industries, out-weight of production and job holder in service industry over that in manufacturing industry, and gearing of the overall industries towards high-tech, information technology and automation. As technology advances, it has brought fluctuation to manpower structure at workplaces and to all walks of life, driving a booming catering industry in which new foods services are emerging one after another and five-star hotels are amplifying rapidly. In view of such phenomenon, the Department of Hospitality Management was established in August 2014 to conform to the urgent needs arising in the new food services and five-star hotels for professional practice and management personnel.
The Department of Digital Marketing has, since its inception in August 2014, strived to equip students with professional knowledge on top of the cultivation of their self-confidence and skills by following the trends of integration of online and offline marketing using information technology and digital multimedia.
As architecture and interior design industries are getting increasingly segmentation and categorization, as well as the public is demanding higher quality of living space, interior design industry has been marching towards particularity and specialization. In addition, in view of the trend of green construction leading to the reconstruction and reutilization of existing living spaces, as well as in echo to the development of regional leisure industry, the Department of Interior Design was established in August 2014 to cope with the increasing demand on professionals in interior design and decoration.
According to 2013 statistics on student number in technical and vocational system, set-up of academic departments, and demands on manpower in industries from The Ministry of Education of the Republic of China, the number of graduates in mechanics and in electrical and electronic engineering in technical and vocational educational system has dropped 21.14 and 13.86 percent respectively in the past decade. However, demands on industrial manpower during the same period were still strong. In 2012, industrial manpower took up 36.23 percent among domestic manpower in all industries, yet the number of students relating to industrial manpower only took up 22.30 percent among all graduates from technical and vocational educational system. This phenomenon indicates that our cultivation of industrial manpower falls significantly beyond what is actually demanded by domestic industries.
As leisure consumption culture evolves in recent years, fashion and beauty industries have gradually expended into ordinary people’s daily living, rather than just satisfying the luxurious pursuit from the upper class. Beauty services industry has witnessed a rapid growth in the past decade, with annual production up to hundreds of billions of NT dollars. The overall trend of development of the beauty services industry has transformed from family-oriented operations in the old days into specialized, chain-style, or even comprehensive operations by enterprises or consortiums. Due to the development of modern bio-medical technology, new opportunities have emerged in the application and development of new cosmetic technologies.
