Abstract

Along with the adjustment of industrial structure, the pattern of the TVE in Taiwan has altered. Ever since the year of 1990 when the government started to promote new establishment of institute of technology and the institution status change, name change and upgrading policy of various types of schools, the number of technological universities and colleges has dramatically increased. However, in terms of a campus that affects essentially and greatly students’ environmental cultivation learning, a technical college should in fact take the conformation of technical and vocational spirit and educational orientation into consideration and shape the school style and applicability of the technical university that possesses vocational education content based on school comprehensive planning and development framework of organic growth and sustainable operation. The purpose of this study is to probe into the course of campus planning development in the early stages of foundation of private university of science and technology in Taiwan. It is hoped that the research be conducted aiming at the development context of school formulation from the standpoint of technical and vocational education’s historical development. This study adopts qualitative observation, documentary research and in-depth interview to try to understand the research topic from multiple aspects through field observation and interactive interview. Lastly, the study applies “comparative analysis approach” for reflecting on the development characteristics and issues of Taiwan’s private vocational school in the light of campus developing process and implementation modality of private technical university before proposing the relevant suggestions at the end of the paper.
