History
................................................................................................................

The General Education Center was founded in August 2000. The goal of the center is to push forward its well-rounded education principles throughout the school, so as to compensate for the insufficiency of the technological and vocational education, which results in overemphasis on the development of one's professional skills. In short, the center hopes that students not only pursue their specialty while at school, but also develop wholesome personalities and broad horizons.
　

Based on the positioning of the school, the center, in its early stage, was a unit in charge of coordinating and planning cross-departmental curricula. Therefore, our main task, initially, was to devise general education study programs suitable for students, which also included finding teachers qualified for teaching these classes. In its first five years of "adjustment", the center offered 70 courses in 4 major categories. Today, the center regularly offers 40 or so courses each semester for students in different fields of study to choose as electives. There will be continual addition of new courses and elimination of old ones from the curriculum.
　

In the present stage (from the academic year of 2005), the center, according to its own design, will focus on the promotion of general education activities. So far, we have gained approval from the school authorities for bringing in teachers in the division of general courses under the supervision of the general education center. In doing so, we hope that it will diversify the contents of general education.

In addition to abiding by the school motto, which is "Honesty, Justice, Lawfulness, and Renovation", the aim of general education also lies in shaping an individual into a well-rounded being, equipping oneself with the latest scientific knowledge and international vision, as well as motivating one's lifetime learning requirements for a modern citizen.
