Department of Health and Nutrition & Chemical Engineering

History

The school is a comprehensive high school following consolidation of standing non-commissioned officer classes in 1998. There were seven major industrial departments founded; the Department of Chemistry was such department. The department recruited graduates from junior schools as students of the first session of the comprehensive high school. In 2005, the school was promoted as the Army Academy R.O.C., recruiting students from vocational high school and non-commissioned officers in troops. It not only had a six-year development plan for the Department of Chemistry, but established educational goals and chemistry courses. Outstanding new teachers were invited to actively promote the department in cooperation with the future development of the school. Teaching quality is expected to meet students' needs as the school develops.

Educational Goals

The goal of the school is to develop quality voluntary non-commissioned officers with good conduct, clear thinking, solid physiques, and leadership skills to join troops.
