Creating Interdisciplinary Learning Environment

Guiding students in exploring industrial knowledge

HIWIN prioritizes knowledge sharing and is committed to guiding students in understanding the smart mechanical industry. We provide customized curriculum materials and classroom activities that cater to various educational levels, including high school, vocational school, and university. Our research and development executives and engineers visit campuses to share product knowledge and industry trends, enriching students with mechanical-related knowledge and inspiring their career development exploration.

Pre-employment training seminar for tailored programs

Before students begin their internships during the third year of high school, we offer simple and easy-to-understand courses to help them realize that the key components, which may seem unfamiliar, are actually applied in various aspects of daily life, including food, clothing, housing, transportation, education, and entertainment. Through group activities, students build team cohesion, learn workplace communication skills, and cultivate a spirit of mutual support and cooperation, which also aids in their transition to internships in the future.

HIWIN is dedicated to nurturing talent in the engineering field, with teachers playing a crucial role as mentors in students’ career exploration. By sharing industry trends and product knowledge, high school and college educators can break through traditional perceptions of precision machinery, expanding their understanding and inspiring new ways of thinking about industry development. This, in turn, empowers educators to encourage students to engage in cross-disciplinary learning and broaden their horizons. Through diverse educational approaches, teachers can guide students in exploring future career paths, attracting more students to the field of precision machinery.

Supporting the Adaptive Development of Industry-Academia Students

HIWIN has actively promoted industry-academia cooperation for over a decade. Each year, we prioritize selecting underprivileged students for educational opportunities through these collaborative programs. For these students, this becomes a pivotal moment as they acquire academic qualifications and gain access to career prospects. Whether they are enrolled as students or interns, they receive the same salary and benefits as regular employees, which not only improves their family’s economic situation but also provides stability for their loved ones.

Throughout their time as industry-academia students, they are guided by supervisors, mentors, and HR professionals. They receive support in developing job-specific skills, personal growth, and overall well-being. HIWIN’s industry-academia students are not restricted by age or qualifications; instead, their advancement opportunities are based on their abilities, performance, and efforts. Over the years, these students have grown from small saplings to become the backbone of our Company, assuming key positions in various departments. Within five years after graduation, they have achieved significant success, establishing their families and finding fulfillment in life. They stand alongside us, dedicating themselves to nurturing the next generation of students, passing on their knowledge and commitment.

Driving Medical Engineering with Mechanical Expertise

HIWIN-CMU Joint Research and Development Center, established by HIWIN and China Medical University (CMU), is dedicated to conducting research in healthcare, advancing technology development, exploring interdisciplinary applications, and nurturing high-level talents in medical engineering. Since 2015, an annual investment of US$325.7 thousand has been made to synergize industry and university expertise, propelling Taiwan’s medical engineering to new milestones.

In 2023, the R&D center conducted two clinical collaboration projects, including the technical development of surgical robots and the medical automation system verification. Through clinical verification, product improvement suggestions were obtained. For example, the usability test of surgical robots improves the ease of control for robotic arm, ensuring that both surgeons and assistants have a good operating experience, thereby enhancing the quality of surgery. Furthermore, the Joint R&D Center periodically organizes the “Broad View on HealthCare” Forum and satellite conferences on international geriatric medicine research. Esteemed experts are invited to analyze long-term practices, thereby enhancing the healthcare knowledge of professionals and the general public. In 2023, we invited Professor Shi-Ching Chen, CEO Ren-Hao Pan, and General Manager Tsui-E Lin to deliver a series of lectures. They shared insights on various topics, including how assistive technology can enhance the life quality for the disabilities and the elderly, the digital health provides solution healthcare inequality, and the use of AI in combating dementia. These discussions helped attendees understand how to utilize the latest technology and knowledge to tackle the challenges of caring for an aging population and the growing number of individuals with disabilities.
