This center, partially sponsored by Ministry of Education, was established in 2004. It is under the administration of the Office of Research and Development of CYUT. The major mission of the unit is to integrate our university's product design and innovation resources as to assist related industries to develop advanced technologies, integrate systems, and implement test evaluations. This center also aims to provide verification environment for technological achievement transformation and thus make it as the strong support of research and development upgrades for relevant industries. There are five research and development teams in the unit: Industrial Design, Human Factor Engineering, Precision Measurement Analysis, Consumer Electronic, and Research and Development Management. The teams are composed of the specialized professors from the departments of Industrial Design, Industrial Engineering and Management, and Information and Communication Engineering.
With the integration of advanced research laboratories and high-quality instrument such as rapid vacuum casting system, 3-D scanning system, motion analysis system, virtual reality simulation system, and a variety of computer stimulation analytic software, the technology development center of industrial design and product innovation is able to fulfill prompt and professional technology development requirements of the industry.
This center emphasizes the development of product innovation technology, 3D data acquisition system and the establishment of data transformation platform, establishment of virtual operation and feedback system, applications of new materials, development of product inspection and analytic technologies, establishment of precision manufacturing analytic system, setting up of concurrent development and design environment, as well as the research and development of other technologies. With the operation of this center, cross-field resource integration experiences are cumulated. This center serves as a professional platform for the cooperation between CYUT and the industry, with the objective to assist the industry for sustainable growth.
