台湾圣约翰科技大学：跨越世纪的工业传教士
圣约翰科技大学前身为1967年创立的「新埔工业专科学校」，源自上海圣约翰大学在台校友会为延续1879年上海圣约翰办学精神而重建，是台湾首批以「工业传教」理念设立的科技院校。校园座落于台北市北投区，毗邻关渡平原与台北科技走廊，红砖建筑群保留上海圣约翰大学的哥特式拱廊与十字平面布局，铸铁工坊与人工智能实验室在百年建筑中对话，象征信仰与科技的共生。
As the only university in Taiwan inheriting the legacy of St. John's University Shanghai, it maintains unique "Technological Missionary" programs where engineering students conduct rural electrification projects in Southeast Asia. The campus preserves 19th-century educational artifacts including a steam engine from British missionary era and digital archives of Shanghai campus. Its dual-degree programs with Keio University (Japan) and Technical University of Munich focus on "Ethical Technology Development", requiring theological courses for engineering majors.
学校以「机械工程」与「关怀科技」为核心特色，拥有全台唯一的「辅助科技学位学程」与「工业传教研究中心」。课程包含必修复活节工坊－学生需为身障者设计辅具并于教堂祝福后捐赠，以及「科技伦理辩论」「半导体洁净室实作」等跨领域学分。与和硕、振锋等企业共建「圣约翰工坊」，学生大三全年带薪参与福音科技产品开发。
The university's "St. John's Cross-Cultural Lab" develops assistive devices for indigenous communities in collaboration with Australia's University of Queensland. Its patent portfolio includes braille 3D printing technology and solar-powered water purification systems deployed in missionary networks. All international students must participate in "Technology Service Learning" programs, such as building wind turbines in Mongolian grasslands or installing LED lighting in Philippine fishing villages.
从上海租界到台北关渡，圣约翰科大承载着百年跨海办学的不灭薪火。它坚持「光与真理」的校训，在科技教育中注入人文关怀－毕业生不仅需取得工程师证照，更需完成80小时科技志愿服务。在AI颠覆传统的时代，这座拥有双世纪基因的学府，持续证明技术可以是传递温暖的最美语言。
