明志科大師生設計團隊榮獲技職之光肯定，展現專業實力

The design team of Ming Chi University of Technology has been recognized and commended with the "Outstanding Technical and Vocational Education Award," showcasing their professional competence.

　　明志科技大學師生設計團隊以「探鏡」獲頒「技職之光-競賽卓越獎」，教育部於12月14日假臺北市青年發展既家庭教育中心舉行頒獎典禮，副校長馬成珉與獲獎師生出席與會並接受表揚。

　　教育部設立「技職之光」獎項，以表揚學生於技職教育中傑出的表現，並鼓勵學生發展專業技能，今已邁入第十九屆。明志科大表示，學校技職教育致力扎實技能的培育，養成學生實踐理想的實力，並藉由跨領域課程及一年的海內外實務實習，讓學生接軌職場、放眼國際，讓專業技術變得更加紮實，面對將來就業也更有信心。

　　本次獲獎團隊來自學校視覺傳達設計系，包括學生林雨柔、林倢妤、侯函伶、高若淇、劉嘉紋及指導老師楊朝明，以作品「探鏡」榮獲技職之光「競賽卓越獎」。「探鏡」發想乃根據聯合國永續發展目標 SDGs第十五項「保育陸域生態」為基礎，以台灣的嘉明湖、七彩湖及大小鬼湖，三大具有代表性的高山湖泊進行相關資料調查、分析，並運用插畫為其規劃嶄新的視覺形象，結合書籍排版、裝幀設計等專業技術，來展現台灣高山湖泊之美，並呼籲生態保育。該作品亦屢獲國際設計大獎，如「莫斯科國際平面設計雙年展金鋒獎」、「DNA Paris Design Awards」、「德國iF Design Award」、「International Poster Biennial in Mexico(BICM)」，以及「德國紅點設計大獎」等，實屬難能可貴。

　　獲獎團隊表示，插畫設計是以三種不同主題呈現，分別為：「嘉明湖-神秘外星」、「七彩湖-夢幻仙子」，以及「雙鬼湖-崇高神靈」，各自蘊含著不同的特色，藉由充滿想像的插畫來喚起觀者對高山湖泊的重視，同時也注意它們正遭受破壞，希望大家能夠共同維護生態與美景，讓這些自然景觀能永恆的被留下。

　　本次師生的共同創作，打造出兼具質感與意義的作品參加國內外競賽，讓台灣更能被世界看見，同時又受到技職之光獎項的肯定，著實激勵團隊充滿信心向前跨步，憑藉設計專長為在地發展、永續經營等目標做出貢獻。

　The design team of Ming Chi University of Technology was honored with the "Outstanding Technical and Vocational Education Award-Competition Excellence Award" for their project titled "TAIWAN AlPINE LAKE Discover and Imagine." The Ministry of Education held the awards ceremony on December 14th at the Taipei City Youth Development and Family Education Center, where Vice President Cherng-Min Ma and the winning faculty and students attended and received recognition.

　The Ministry of Education established the "Outstanding Technical and Vocational Education Award" to acknowledge outstanding student performances in technical and vocational education, aiming to encourage the development of professional skills. Ming Chi University of Technology emphasized its dedication to cultivating practical skills in technical education, enabling students to realize their ideals. Through interdisciplinary courses and year-long domestic and international internships, students are integrated into the professional arena, gaining a global perspective and bolstering their confidence in facing future employment challenges.

　The winning team originates from the university's Visual Communication Design Department, comprising students Yu-Jou Lin, Jie-Yu Lin, Han-Ling Hou, Rou-Chi Kao, Chia-Wen Liu, and their mentor, Professor Yang, Chao-Ming. Their project " TAIWAN AlPINE LAKE Discover and Imagine " earned the "Competition Excellence Award" in the Outstanding Technical and Vocational Education Award . The concept behind " TAIWAN AlPINE LAKE Discover and Imagine " is rooted in the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 15, focusing on conserving terrestrial ecosystems. It involved comprehensive research and analysis of Taiwan's iconic alpine lakes - Jiaming Lake, Qicai Lake, and Shuang-guie Lake. Utilizing illustrations, the team crafted a fresh visual identity, incorporating professional techniques in book layout and framing design to showcase Taiwan's alpine lakes' beauty while advocating for ecological conservation. This project has also received numerous prestigious international design awards, including the "Golden Bee Global Biennale of Graphic Design," "DNA Paris Design Awards," "iF Design Award," "International Poster Biennial in Mexico (BICM)," and the " Red Dot Design Award," which is a remarkable achievement.

　The award-winning team explained that the illustration designs are presented in three different themes: " Jiaming Lake - Mysterious Extraterrestrial," "Qicai Lake - Dreamy Fairies," and "Double Ghost Lake - Sublime Spirits," each encapsulating distinct characteristics. Through imaginative illustrations, they aim to raise awareness of the importance of alpine lakes while highlighting the threat of their destruction. Their hope is for collective efforts to preserve the ecology and beauty of these natural landscapes for eternity.

　This collaborative creation by faculty and students, crafting a work that combines texture and significance, participating in domestic and international competitions not only showcases Taiwan to the world but also receives recognition through the Outstanding Technical and Vocational Education Award. This acknowledgment significantly motivates the team to stride forward with confidence, utilizing their design expertise to contribute to local development and sustainable practices.
