Vice President for Academic Affairs and Acting Dean of School of Health and Medical EngineeringDean Ho's words to freshmen
Dear Freshmen,
Congratulations on entering a brand-new stage of your life and becoming a university student!
It is my great pleasure to welcome you to Ming Chuan University, and especially to the School of Health and Medical Engineering. Over the next four years, you will study, explore, and grow here, gradually shaping your professional direction and personal life goals.
Our college integrates interdisciplinary knowledge in biotechnology, medical applications, engineering technology, and healthcare management to respond to the real-world demands of today’s health, technology, and medical industries. If you are willing to commit yourself and embrace new challenges, I believe this will be a place where you can build solid skills, discover your potential, and develop strong competitiveness for the future.
University life offers great freedom, but with freedom comes responsibility. Whether you plan to pursue further studies or enter the workforce after graduation, I would like to share three expectations with you.
First, take good care of your health.
Develop regular exercise habits, avoid staying up late, and maintain a balanced daily routine. These may seem simple, but they form the foundation of all learning and personal growth. With good physical health and mental focus, you will find learning more efficient and challenges easier to handle.
Second, take your classes and learning seriously.
Put your phone aside during lectures and focus on your professional studies. Strong expertise is not built overnight; it grows through consistent attention and effort. At the same time, enjoy your extracurricular life. Participate in student clubs and expand your social network. These experiences help you develop communication, teamwork, and problem-solving skills, which are essential for your future.
Third, make full use of the resources provided by the university and the college.
Your mentors, professional faculty, research facilities, and project opportunities are all here to support your learning. If you already have plans for graduate study or employment, I strongly encourage you to participate in research projects with your professors. The process may be challenging, but the experience will become one of your most valuable assets.
Finally, in university, no one arranges everything for you. Self-discipline is your most important ability. By managing your time well, setting clear goals, and staying committed, you can turn freedom into a powerful force for personal growth.
I sincerely wish you a fulfilling, solid, and meaningful four years at Ming Chuan University—years in which you make choices without regret and move forward with confidence toward the future.
Once again, welcome to the School of Health and Medical Engineering. I look forward to witnessing your growth and transformation here.
