FCU recruits scholars from Taiwan and abroad. In the past three years, more than 40 chair professors have joined the faculty. They include Chin-Chen Chang, who is considered Taiwan's father of cryptography, and Chung-Jen Hsu, former general manager of Uni-President Enterprises Corporation. Chang is ranked number two in the world for the number of published research papers that have been included in the computer science database of the Digital Bibliography & Library Projects (DBLP).


In cooperation with [[Renmin University of China]], the Center for the Tang Dynasty Culture spent six years proofreading the ''Quan Tangfu'' (The Complete Tang Odes).
The Green Energy Development Center has developed an anaerobic [[bioreactor]]. This bioreactor yields 151/hr biogas from every liter of anaerobic sludge, making it one of the best performing bioreactors in the world. Due to these and other achievements, FCU was chosen as the site for the APEC Research Center for Advanced Biohydrogen Technology, which was established in cooperation with APEC and the National Science Council. In addition, the Taiwan branch of the International Association for Hydrogen Energy (IAHE) has been established on the FCU campus. In 2011, FCU completed the world's first Bio-H2 gas station.


In 2024, the International School of Technology and Management cooperate with [[Australian Maritime College]], [[University of Tasmania]], Australia, to offer the Bachelor of Global Logistics and Maritime Management.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Tasmania |first=University of |date=2021-11-02 |title=Educational partnerships |url=https://www.utas.edu.au/community-and-partners/partner/educational |access-date=2024-10-04 |website=University of Tasmania |language=en}}</ref>
The Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Research Center has twice been honored by the US-based Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI) with a Special Achievement in GIS award. In 2010, this research center was invited to join the European Union's Plan4All project; among its 25 collaborative partners, FCU was the only academic organization from Taiwan. In that same year, the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) approved the GIS Research Center as its first software standards compliance testing center in Asia. It was also named one of 20 OGC principal members.

The Construction and Disaster Prevention Research Center brings together researchers from the fields of civil engineering, hydraulic engineering, water resources engineering and conservation, and geographic information systems. This center has developed technologies with applications for environmental conservation, slope land disaster prevention, and environmental monitoring. It also serves as a long-term partner of the National Science and Technology Center for Disaster Reduction, providing support for local government disaster prevention and rescue efforts. This center participated in the rebuilding efforts that followed Typhoon Morakot and received awards for its contributions and achievements from the Executive Yuan.

In cooperation with [[Renmin University]] of China, the Center for the Tang Dynasty Culture spent six years proofreading and editing the ''Quan Tangfu'' (The Complete Tang Odes). The center's edited version of this important ancient Chinese compilation has been included in many library collections in Europe, North America, Japan, and Korea.

Feng Chia University

Feng Chia University (FCU; Chinese: 逢甲大學) is a private research university in Taiwan, located in Taichung. It was named after Chiu Feng-Chia, one of the leaders of the military resistance against the Japanese invasion of Taiwan in 1895.[5]

Feng Chia University has a partnership with Purdue University, RMIT University, University of Zaragoza, and San Jose State University.[6]

History

[edit]

In 1961, the Feng Chia College of Engineering and Business was established on Guanyin Mountain in Beitun District of Taichung City. Two years later, it was moved to its current location in Xitun District in central Taiwan. The school was granted university status in 1980 and its name was changed to Feng Chia University (FCU).

In 2008, the APEC Research Center for Advanced Biohydrogen Technology was established on the FCU campus. In 2009, the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) designated the Geographic Information Systems Research Center as the Asian standards testing center with one of 20 official principal members.

FCU is the third university in Taiwan to complete and receive marks of excellence on five National Science Council technology transfer projects.[7] In March 2017, Apple recently established Taiwan's first Apple Regional Training Center at FCU, which makes FCU the only university in Taiwan authorized to conduct Apple-certified training courses.[8]

Students and programs

[edit]

The university has 20,000 graduate and undergraduate students yearly in its nine colleges of Engineering, Business, Sciences, Construction and Development, Information and Electrical Engineering, Finance, Humanities and Social Sciences, School of Management and Development, and School of Technology and Management.[9][as of?] There are 33 academic departments (excluding undeclared honors programs), four independent graduate institutes, and three independent doctoral programs.

In total, FCU offers 57 bachelor's, 76 master's, and 14 doctoral degree programs. Since 2008, surveys of executives from Taiwan's top 1,000 enterprises have consistently ranked FCU in the top 10 for the quality of its graduates.[7]

Academics

[edit]

There are 37 specialized research centers on campus, including the Green Energy Development Center, Geographic Information Systems Research Center, Construction and Disaster Prevention Research Center, Information and Communication Security Research Center, and the Center for Tang Dynasty Culture.[10] FCU recruits scholars from Taiwan and abroad. In the past three years, more than 40 chairprofessors have joined the faculty. They include Chin-Chen Chang and Chung-Jen Hsu, a former general manager of Uni-President Enterprises Corporation.

The Green Energy Development Center has developed an anaerobic bioreactor. This bioreactor yields 15 liters of biogas per hour from every liter of anaerobic sludge.[11] FCU was chosen as the site for the APEC Research Center for Advanced Biohydrogen Technology.

In cooperation with Renmin University of China, the Center for the Tang Dynasty Culture spent six years proofreading the Quan Tangfu (The Complete Tang Odes).

In 2024, the International School of Technology and Management cooperate with Australian Maritime College, University of Tasmania, Australia, to offer the Bachelor of Global Logistics and Maritime Management.[12]
