Associate Professor Ming-Chia Hsieh, who serves both as a faculty member in the Department of Accounting under the College of Management and as the Director of the Innovation Incubation Center at I-Shou University, recently led a group of student representatives on a corporate visit to the industrial sector. During the visit, students observed firsthand the business operations and ongoing digital transformation of the enterprise, deepening their understanding of the theories and applications related to artificial intelligence, lean management, and ESG carbon governance.

Professor Hsieh noted, “The purpose of this visit is to enhance students’ understanding of the industry, allowing the theoretical knowledge learned in the classroom to be connected with real-world practice. At the same time, we aim to inspire students to pursue careers in innovation, entrepreneurship, and production-sales management.”

During the course of the visit, students not only witnessed the company's implementation of AI management tools and real-time data analysis systems but also engaged in on-site Q&A sessions to learn how the company applies lean processes to reduce waste, improve efficiency, and meet carbon neutrality goals.

The Chief Education Officer of I-Shou University stated that the university is actively promoting industry-academia interaction and innovation incubation. Associate Professor Hsieh has long been devoted to practical teaching and interdisciplinary industry-academia collaboration. This visit represents a key part of the university’s educational planning. Going forward, the university plans to integrate more corporate participation programs to strengthen its “learning-integrated-with-application” teaching model, providing students with a solid foundation for career preparation and long-term development.
