New Fantastic Journey of Bamboo, Technology and University
When bamboo products almost completely withdrew from people’s lives, the team of teachers and students at National Chung Cheng University once again picked up this industry that was previously indispensable with multiple functions and also rich in environmental protection. Yet, it is all replaced by plastics now. With the development of science and technology, we strive to make the advantages of bamboo shine again, to attain the Sustainable Development Goals.
Memories are the Starting Point of the Journey
In a community activity where many teachers participated in the discussion, several professors remembered that bamboo had occupied some parts of their respective research careers. The memories of their lives when they were younger are also full of the unique scent of bamboo.
Not knowing when it started, this highly sustainable and green industry seems to be forgotten by the times. With the implementation of the university's social service responsibility practice, the bamboo industry chain places as the main axis to promote the goal of local connection and talent cultivation. The teachers and students of National Chung Cheng University launched the "Bamboo and Bamboo Charcoal Innovation-Sustainable Consumption and Production", and the team had also carried out a brilliant bamboo cultural trip.
The Sustainable Technological Journey of "Bamboo Instead of Plastic"
The United Nations issued the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The development of "Green Economy" and "Environmental Sustainability" has been heatedly discussed and concerned around the world. The characteristics of bamboo that can be grown in four years and can grow repeatedly make it a very sustainable material.
With the active participation of teachers and students in the school, the team spans five colleges with different majors, and injects diversified technological development into the National Chung Cheng University Bamboo Project. Besides, using the forward-looking value of “Bamboo Instead of Plastic" as the goal of promoting local upgrading and transformation can bring the project closer to life and also can promote social value at the same time.
"Participating in the Bamboo Project makes me motivated. This is a project that was executed very happily."
Professor Shi-Ming (JACK) Huang, the R&D director of National Chung Cheng University, who has been engaged in education for more than 20 years and implemented many plans, has developed projects for global environmental protection, local bamboo industry as well as the aspects of culture and marketing at the beginning of the plan. In the early stage of the plan, with the school's engineering technology, the bamboo charcoal mechanical kiln was developed to achieve the goal of recycling bamboo industry resources, improve efficiency and applicability, which has created more and more possibilities to the development of bamboo charcoal (black gold). What is even more unexpected is the chance to integrate with international standards. "Meeting Friends with Bamboo" has allowed Indian and Indonesian industry and academia experts to discover the strength of Taiwan's bamboo technology and have a deeper understanding of Taiwan's bamboo industry.
Students and knowledge practice in the field
In the entire process of implementation of the plan, in addition to the guidance of local experts and the guidance of teachers, the biggest feature is that Chung Cheng University uses the extensive Jhuluo area and the resources of the entire plan as a world for students to practice knowledge. In the first year of the plan, a team of teachers and students proposed to enter the turkey farm for bamboo charcoal spreading, enter the coastal farm to purify water with bamboo charcoal, and also enter the Tsou field to revitalize the cultural space. A bamboo robot that can perform product sales and carbon reduction calculations was invented as well.
In the following projects, there are international internship topics, the bamboo cross-domain forum, and the bamboo innovation proposal competition. In these projects, creative ideas of the students can be highlighted obviously. After the students joined the hard work of the project, they told the teacher that they got a lot of inspiration after collecting information. They thought that the idea was easy to implement. Yet, after discussing it, they found that there were so many factors to consider, and they learned a lot through the practice of the things that wouldn't be noticed in the past. This is also the learning method planned by the project in cultivating talents. In addition to assisting in the local area, it also obtains deeper experience learning beyond academics.
International development and future
In the second year of the USR EXPO, we wrote "We are going out with goodwill" emphasizing that "Gentle and soft power is our Taiwanese value.” Now that the plan is moving towards the second phase, as in the past, we have demonstrated the new value of bamboo through new technology. This year, we are also getting closer to international friends through new technology. Even though the epidemic has hindered our physical exchanges and internships, through video conferences, we have also handled video seminars together. With bamboo culture, there is no distance between us.
From "Jhuluo Bamboo Industry Exhibition" to "Taiwan Bamboo Industry Exhibition", we have picked up old materials through this project, played new value through technology, recorded old culture, and became new business opportunities by adding technology and creativity. Because of this plan, we have been deeply involved in the field, asking cultural experts to learn from it. We cross the world and stand with international friends. Through this social responsibility practice, more research and innovation services are local and global. We are exerting our influence little by little, hoping to bring more beauty to the world, and we are also stepping out of the next period of USR enrichment.
