課程概述 |
本課程之前身為 「進階科學研究計畫管理」 (ENT 5045;英文名稱:Advanced Project Management for Laboratory Scientists),旨在培養同學們規劃與執行科學研究計畫時,應具備之實務能力。該課程自 2013 年 2 月 (101 學年第 2 學期) 開授,以中文授課,迄今已逾十年,獲高度肯定。同學們咸認為對科學研究頗有實質之助益。
2. 為提升同學之英文溝通、表達能力,希冀於本課程通過後,改以英文授課。課程名稱之修改,乃回應同學之教學意見反映,使課名與課程內容更為相符。
3. 課程綱要請參閱課程進度之「單元主題」(最後一頁)。
Course Overview
1. The previous course, "Advanced Project Management for Laboratory Scientists" (ENT 5045), aimed to cultivate practical abilities for planning and executing scientific research projects. It has been taught in Chinese since February 2013 (Spring Semester of the 101st academic year) and has earned high acclaim for over a decade. Students widely acknowledge its significant contribution to scientific research.
2. With the goal of enhancing students' English communication and expression abilities, there is a plan to transition this course to be taught in English upon completion. This change in course delivery is in response to valuable feedback from students and aims to align the course title more accurately with its content.
