Physical and mental disability social work is the new course field of the social work. With the deepening understanding of the global society towards disabilities, the support and construction of the services have been affected too. The course topics include: how to dissipate the work and cooperate among national responsibility, family responsibility, and social responsibility; how to construct the support system and deliver the services to support the disabled people and for the diversity of their house life; what contributes to the difference between the legally defined disabled people and the actual situation of their disabilities; the power shift between the oriented and individual oriented disabilities; how to pave the way from ability to power; how to transform from service to construction of a friendly environment; how demands are decided, by whom they are decided, and the strategies they used from needing to satisfy the needs. Assessment: participation/discussion (30%), midterm reports (30%), final exam (30%), attendance (10%).

This course is for students who have taken Intermediate III of the Chinese Language Course for International Students or those who have taken Chinese for at least 700 hrs. By the end of the course students are capable of using written language to communicate effectively in formal writing and of understanding public announcements, news, and other broadcasts. In addition to the text lessons, this course also brings up topics each class that help students develop proficiency in listening, speaking, reading and writing. Through the course, students are able to use appropriate Chinese to carry on discussions, and read newspapers and magazines to further understand Taiwanese culture and language. 

This intermediate macroeconomic course covers the neoclassical framework, including both the neoclassical growth theory and neo-classical business cycle. It examines both theory and data to analyze how macro-economists answer economic questions.

The course examines the motions of linkages, gear sets, and cams. Students learn about the analysis of displacement, velocity, and acceleration of mechanisms by using graphical and analytical methods. The course analyzes real-world engineering applications of the mechanisms. It covers the kinematic analysis by using Autodesk Inventor. 

This course provides a fundamental knowledge of dynamics, including kinematics and kinetics of particle, system of particles, and rigid bodies in planar and three-dimensional motion. A systematic approach, namely Vector Analysis and Modeling Procedure (VAMP), is introduced to precisely describe linear and angular positions, velocities, accelerations, forces, and torques for generating a set of equations of motion, without missing any terms. Other modeling of work/energy equations, impulse/momentum equations, impact of particles and rigid bodies, and Euler equations are also addressed. Not only are students trained to have the ability of modeling dynamic systems in terms of equations of motion, but they are also experienced with engineering insight of physical laws.

This course presents the children's evolution concept to lend understandings of children's rights, welfare policy and development. Also, the course raises the awareness of concerns about children welfare from the existing children welfare service status and policy. Topics in the course include: content on child welfare services, from concept policy; current welfare service system; child care services; child protection services; services to high-risk families; single-parent family and child services; child foster care and adoption services; establishment of children's institutions; services to children with special care and early intervention services. The course uses lectures and related instructional videos, current affairs cases and group discussions. Social workers are invited to share their own experiences during lectures to present actual facts of children cognitive issues. Students are placed into groups and involved in community implementation to gain real participation experiences.

This course provides a study of the basic techniques for building intelligent computer systems and how Artificial Intelligence is applied to problems. It covers theory, algorithms, and their applications. The course is divided into four parts. The first part of the course includes an introduction to AI, history of AI, problem solving and search. The second part covers machine learning, linear models, decision trees, and neural networks. The third part studies decision marking and includes topics such as, logical agents, quantifying uncertainty, Bayesian networks, Markov decision process, and reinforcement learning. The final part of the course examines natural language processing, computer vision, and robotics.

This course leads students to understand the theater sound system and practical application methods, including: Acoustic concepts; basic sound system understanding and application; theater sound design concept, and understanding and application of digital arrangement software. The contents of this course are mainly for students from the Department of Art and Design. In order to ensure the quality of the class, the number of additional applicants is limited. International students are encouraged to conduct an interview in the first week of the course. 

The purpose of this course is to enable students to have a deeper understanding of Taekwondo through explanations and practical operations, and to be familiar with the rules and have professional knowledge to watch Taekwondo competitions. And through the practice of class content, improve self-body coordination ability, muscle strength, muscle endurance and simple self-defense skills.

The second semester of first-year elementary French, covers basic grammar, sentence structures, listening comprehension and conversational skills. With "Amical 1" as the textbook, this course starts from Lesson 13 and ends at Lesson 24. Homework includes translation assignments, grammar exercises, compositions and others. There are three major unit exams and quizzes in class.
