1. Introduction

National Changhua University of Education (NCUE) is the only national university in Changhua County, comprising seven colleges. We are committed to advancing sustainable development in line with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). By engaging in various collaborative initiatives, NCUE has established strong partnerships with government agencies and non-governmental organizations to implement sustainable development policies jointly. To drive these efforts, NCUE has adopted three core models for promoting sustainable development goals:

(1) Administrative Governance Level: By participating in key government policy programs, NCUE has aligned its strategies with national sustainable development policies, integrating SDG concepts into university governance and development planning. The following section will showcase 10 cases for illustration.

(2) Academic Research Level: Faculty members with expertise in various college fields led research projects that align with SDG to produce research of academic value and meet sustainable development needs. The following section will showcase 18 cases for illustration.

(3) Professional Consultation Level: Our faculty members utilize their professional knowledge to serve in committee positions within government or non-governmental organizations, assisting in the formulation and promotion of relevant sustainable development policies and providing concrete and feasible professional recommendations. The following section will showcase 15 cases for illustration.

(4) SDGs Target Correspondence Statistics: The 43 projects of sustainable development promoted by the three models above are all related to one or more SDG targets. Statistics show that the listed projects cover all 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, with a total of 128 corresponding instances, fully demonstrating the comprehensive participation and contribution of NCUE in the field of sustainable development.

(2) Implementation of the Ministry of Education's "Industry-Academia Collaboration Program for Cultivating Practical Talent in the Semiconductor Industry at Colleges and Universities " (2024): NCUE by established a semiconductor talent cultivation program to align with the Executive Yuan's national development policies regarding the "Five Plus Two Industry Innovation Plan " and "Six Core Strategies". NCUE considered local companies and their characteristics when choosing collaborative enterprises, and we collaborated with Silicon ware Precision Industries to establish the Industry-Academia Collaboration Program for Cultivating Practical Talent in the Semiconductor Industry at Colleges and Universities. The company provided 30 job positions, including Customer Service CP Engineers, Process Engineers, and Manufacturing Supervisors, and assigned 14 senior high-level professionals to serve as industry mentors. These mentors collaborate with our faculty to teach semiconductor knowledge, skills, and corporate culture to program students, thereby cultivating their semiconductor competencies. Students who pass the course assessments can join the company after completing the program.

(4) Implementation of the Ministry of Education's Plan to Enhance Energy Conservation in Colleges and Universities (2024): Our university enhanced efficiency of energy usage and implemented energy conservation and carbon reduction through the installation of smart meters and an Energy Management System (EMS). The plan involved installing 40 smart meters in five buildings frequently used by faculty and students at the Jinde Campus, including the College of Science Building, Academic Main Hall, Student Activity Center, Qiao-Si Hall, and Gymnasium. These meters collect detailed electricity usage information including current, voltage, power, and electricity consumption at one-minute intervals. Simultaneously, an Energy Management System (EMS) was established. This EMS system features core functions including "electricity usage visualization, electricity management reports, and over-contract alerts." The system architecture adopts a hierarchical design with both local and cloud interfaces, providing real-time electricity monitoring, over-contract alerts (such as Email or Line Notify), power report generation, electricity usage comparative analysis, electricity unit and tariff plan management, permission management, and operational logging and fault alarm functions. Additionally, the EMS supports the analysis of electricity tariff plan optimization and the assessment of renewable energy integration benefits (such as solar energy and energy storage). See Appendix 17.2.1-B(PDF) for additional details.

(8) Professor Shen Chi-Tai from the Graduate Institute of Human Resource Management serves as the principal investigator for the National Science and Technology Council’s project "Perceived Supervisor Emotional Blackmail and Harmonious Passion: The Dual Mediating Effects of Rumination and Psychological Capital." Workplace emotions and a positive work environment significantly impact the physical and mental health and well-being of a nation's citizens, while work passion is also an issue that researchers are focused on. Particularly, harmonious passion represents that individuals have full autonomy at work and, through free will choices, engage in work activities they love, effectively enhancing individual work performance and behavioral expression. However, under circumstances where supervisor-subordinate relationships are unequal, supervisor emotional blackmail may seriously affect subordinates' work autonomy and engagement, reducing harmonious passion. Furthermore, clearly understanding how supervisor emotional blackmail affects subordinates' harmonious passion help researchers grasp the entire the process of influence. Therefore, this research attempts to construct an integrated dual mediation model, exploring how perceived supervisor emotional blackmail triggers subordinates' ruminative cognitive thinking, thereby reducing psychological capital and ultimately affecting subordinates' harmonious passion.
