When I was in high school, I was interested in mathematics and biology. Although I studied hard, my grades were not very good. Even my high school teacher told me that if I went to study mathematics-related subjects, I would have studied very hard.
Many people have an inexplicable sense of distance from mathematics. I must help clarify the subject of mathematics. I think college and high school mathematics are not the same. I liked it very much when I was freshman. Calculus and the results of learning are also very good. If you are interested in thinking and logic, you don't need to have too much fear of mathematics. It will not be difficult if you are willing to learn in college.
# Give yourself a challenge
Not the best in grades, but I spend a lot of time exploring my own different possibilities.
I started my double major study career in my sophomore year. I chose the "Department of Applied Mathematics" I was interested in, and I even took many special foreign courses.
Feng Chia provides a diversified and innovative academic system. In addition to double majors, there are also minors, second majors, A department into B department, and many courses that integrate with the industry. These resources allow me to explore in the school. Own interests and ambitions.
#If you have any questions, just ask! ! !
When you are determined to accomplish something, the whole world will help you.
At the beginning of the double major, I encountered a lot of problems, such as credit collection, course planning, etc., you can take the initiative to ask the teaching assistant of the department or directly ask the instructor, so as to get the most true information in my university. Most of the professors I met in my career are very happy to communicate with students, and are also willing to help students!
#App Creative Program Competition won the championship
My sisters and I teamed up to participate in the "App Creative Programming Competition". Through the combination of virtual reality and jigsaw puzzles, it was applied to the elderly in the community to delay disability care and to study in elementary schools and preschools, and won the first place in the school. I also participated in the "Smart Hometown-MediaTek Digital Social Innovation Competition". In interviews with key users, I realized that the knowledge we learned can be used in life, and the design works will be developed in the future , And have a positive feedback and influence on users. Even if I didn’t win a prize later, I still think it’s worth it.
#Get out of your comfort zone, don’t be afraid to get along with strangers
Many people are afraid to leave their class or familiar classmates, so general courses or extracurricular activities are tied to specific people, but I encourage everyone to break out of their comfort zone. Most of the activities or courses I participate in are not Participate with classmates you know, and you will meet a group of new friends after participating.Don't be afraid to get along with strangers. Although you will be a little lonely at first, I believe there will be more different gains after opening your heart!
#Get a school subsidy to go to Italy to participate in the "European Innovation Academy"
The "European Innovation Academy" (EIA), co-operated by internationally renowned universities such as Stanford University, UC Berkeley, Google and companies, is held in different countries every year.
The school sponsors registration fees every year for interested students to participate. I got tickets for the 2019 EIA through participating in a weekend startup weekend. I joined 38 students from different departments of the school in the summer of 2019 in Dulin, Italy for a three-time Zhou’s Innovation and Entrepreneurship Workshop, this activity requires proposals, teams and solutions with students from different universities around the world.
Everyday life in Italy is very fulfilling. I listen to lectures and lectures in the morning. The lecturers of these lectures are from world-renowned companies. In the afternoon, I will discuss the project with members from Singapore, Shanghai and Taiwan, and finally report to the interested mentor. And the sponsors, and based on the evaluation of these sponsors, the final top 10 is selected.What's amazing is that 5 of the 10 winning groups have students from FengChia!
#Two girls' adventure in Italy
Taking advantage of the weekends between classes and two weeks after class, my fellow team members and I started a self-guided backpacker trip in Italy. The most worthwhile trip was to meet the Fengjia classmates who went to EIA with me and the team members of the same group. , Plus visits to Italian monuments, museums, art galleries, etc.
Italy is a country that you must visit in your life. I am very fortunate that at the age of 20, I can personally visit those buildings, landscapes, and paintings that only appear on computer desktops or art and humanities textbooks.
#Exploring different careers through short-term internships is the most direct way
Career exploration is also something that must be done during the student period, because there is a lot of time at this time, even if you make a mistake, it does not matter.If you are still confused about the future and do not have a clear goal, you can take the two months of the summer vacation to go for an internship. The internship can start from the summer of the freshman year. It is the most direct way to explore different careers through short-term internships.
As for where to find internships, some departments have cooperating companies. You can directly ask the department office for this type. I found it directly on 104 Human Bank. There are also some internship information clubs on fb. You can usually search more. Look.
And please pay attention! The school must sign a contract in advance to recognize the credits during the internship period. If you have credit considerations, you must ask the teaching assistant in advance.
