跨領域研究已成為當代高等教育與科技發展的重要趨勢。隨著傳統學科界線逐漸模糊，教學與研究模式正逐步轉向跨領域整合，透過不同專業領域的知識交流與合作，促進創新研究與多元學習。

勤益科大積極推動跨領域研究與教學，透過整合各學院專業資源與研究能量，建立跨領域合作平台，鼓勵教師與學生突破學科界線，發展創新研究與應用技術，並提升學生未來職場競爭力。

一、跨領域研究與學術合作

跨領域研究不僅能拓展教師的研究領域，也能促進不同學科專家之間的合作與交流。透過跨領域整合，教師得以運用多元研究方法與資源，推動具有影響力的研究成果，並提升研究計畫與國際合作機會。

此外，學校亦積極推動國際學術合作，與來自加拿大、印度、波蘭等國的研究人員共同發表學術論文，研究主題涵蓋材料科學、奈米科技、能源技術與環境科學等領域，展現本校跨領域研究的國際化發展成果。

二、跨校學習與教學資源共享

為擴展學生的學習資源與跨領域學習機會，勤益與臺灣國立大學系統15所成員學校合作，簽署跨校選課合作協議。

自2022年起，系統內約80,000 名學生可共享約 10,000 門課程，學生每學期可選修兩門跨校課程且免收學分費，使學生能依據自身興趣與職涯規劃選修不同學校的特色課程。

此合作機制整合各校教學資源，包括一般大學、科技大學、師範大學與體育大學等多元學術領域，促進高等教育資源共享與跨校合作，進一步提升學生的學習彈性與跨領域能力。

三、大學社會責任（USR）與跨領域實踐

勤益積極推動大學社會責任（University Social Responsibility, USR）計畫，透過跨學院合作，結合專業知識與在地需求，推動多項社會實踐計畫。

近年來，學校透過工程學院、管理學院及人文與創意學院等單位合作，吸引大量師生與社區民眾參與，促進地方產業發展與社會服務，展現大學在社會責任與永續發展上的積極角色。

四、推動永續發展目標（SDGs）

為回應全球永續發展議題，勤益積極將聯合國永續發展目標（SDGs）融入教學與研究。學校每年開設數百門與永續發展相關課程，並結合研究計畫與跨領域研究資源，推動多項永續議題研究與社會實踐。透過跨領域教學與研究，學校積極培育具備永續發展理念與全球視野的人才。

五、跨領域發展的未來展望

未來，勤益將持續深化跨領域研究與教學發展，整合國內外學術資源與產業合作平台，強化跨校合作與國際學術交流，打造兼具創新研究能力與社會責任的跨領域發展環境。

透過跨領域整合與資源共享，學校將持續提升研究能量與教育品質，培育具備跨域整合能力與全球競爭力的專業人才。

Performance

Interdisciplinary research has become a major trend in modern higher education and technological development. As traditional disciplinary boundaries continue to evolve, teaching and research increasingly emphasize interdisciplinary integration. By combining expertise from different academic fields, universities are able to foster innovative research and diverse learning opportunities.

NCUT actively promotes interdisciplinary research and teaching by integrating the academic strengths and research resources of its colleges. Through interdisciplinary collaboration platforms, the university encourages faculty members and students to transcend disciplinary boundaries, develop innovative research applications, and enhance students’ competitiveness in the global workforce.

1. Interdisciplinary Research and Academic Collaboration

Interdisciplinary research not only expands faculty members’ research perspectives but also strengthens collaboration among experts from different academic disciplines. Through interdisciplinary integration, researchers can utilize diverse methodologies and resources to produce impactful research outcomes and increase opportunities for international collaboration.

NCUT has also actively engaged in international academic cooperation. Faculty members have collaborated with researchers from countries such as Canada, India, and Poland, publishing research in fields including materials science, nanotechnology, energy technology, and environmental science, demonstrating the global development of the university’s interdisciplinary research initiatives.

2. Cross-University Learning and Resource Sharing

To expand students’ access to learning resources and interdisciplinary opportunities, NCUT participates in the National University System of Taiwan (NUST), which consists of 15 member universities.

Since 2022, approximately 80,000 students within the system have been able to share nearly 11,000 courses offered by partner universities. Students are allowed to enroll in up to two cross-university courses per semester without paying additional credit fees.

This collaboration integrates teaching resources from comprehensive universities, universities of technology, normal universities, and sports universities, enabling greater academic resource sharing and fostering interdisciplinary learning across institutions.

3. University Social Responsibility (USR) and Interdisciplinary Practice

NCUT actively promotes University Social Responsibility (USR) initiatives by integrating expertise from multiple colleges to address local and societal needs.

Through interdisciplinary collaboration among the College of Engineering, College of Management, and College of Humanities and Creativity, faculty members and students participate in community engagement and regional development projects. These initiatives support local industry development and social innovation, demonstrating the university’s commitment to social responsibility and sustainable development.

4. Advancing the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

NCUT integrates the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) into its teaching and research activities in order to respond to global sustainability challenges.

The university offers hundreds of courses related to sustainability each year and promotes interdisciplinary research projects addressing sustainable development issues. Through interdisciplinary education and research, NCUT is committed to cultivating talents who possess sustainability awareness and a global perspective.

5. Future Outlook for Interdisciplinary Development

Looking ahead, NCUT will continue to strengthen interdisciplinary teaching and research by integrating domestic and international academic resources and industry collaboration platforms. The university will further expand cross-institutional cooperation and global academic exchange while fostering a dynamic environment for interdisciplinary innovation.

Through interdisciplinary integration and resource sharing, NCUT aims to enhance its research capacity and educational quality, while cultivating professionals equipped with interdisciplinary competencies and global competitiveness.
