In order to bridge the professional knowledge and skills between high schools, vocational schools, and technological universities and promote interaction and communication between teachers and students, the Department of Soil and Water Conservation has initiated a summer camp for high school, vocational school, and college students. Through active participation in the program, high school and vocational school students explore various aspects of technical and vocational education, gaining insights into the practical needs of industries and reflecting these insights in their future teaching practices.
The goal is to achieve resource sharing and mutual learning between technical and vocational education institutions and high schools. Additionally, the camp aims to establish friendships for future collaborative projects and allow students from various colleges and related departments to become familiar with the faculty, equipment, research directions, and post-graduation development of the Department of Soil and Water Conservation.
The summer camp, held in two sessions from July 20 to 22 and July 25 to 27, includes participants from high schools, vocational schools, and colleges nationwide.
The camp features a diverse range of activities such as “Outdoor Classroom Interpretation of Soil and Water Conservation,” “Introduction to Meteorological Stations,” “Application and Monitoring of Plants in Soil and Water Conservation,” “246 Building for Soil and Stone,” “Application of Drones in Soil and Water Conservation,” “Case Studies of Illegal Development on Sloping Land,” and “Analysis of Slope Engineering and Residential Safety Cases.” Field visits are also organized to relevant sites, including a visit to the Linhou Siling Plain Forest Park, which incorporates forest recreation with green afforestation concepts. The park showcases low-density green building designs that align with ecological, energy-saving, carbon reduction, and health principles, creating a comprehensive ecosystem suitable for environmental education.
Through professional course explanations by department faculty and experiential learning, the camp aims to deepen the public’s understanding of land conservation and disaster prevention concepts. Participants gain a more in-depth understanding of the Department of Soil and Water Conservation and its role in these critical areas.
