Expanding teaching and resources	● 混成學習 (Blended Learning) 課程結合實體授課與線上學習（同步視訊／非同步活動）。 Combines face-to-face instruction with online learning (including synchronous video sessions or asynchronous activities). ● 數位教材資源應用 (Application of Digital Resources) 採用影音多媒體或具開放授權之資源（如OCW、開放教科書）作為主要或輔助教材。 Adopts multimedia or open-licensed resources (e.g., OCW, Open Textbooks) as primary or supplementary teaching materials.
The course corresponds to the SDGs	SDG4：優質教育（Quality Education） SDG7：可負擔的潔淨能源（Affordable and Clean Energy） SDG8：尊嚴就業與經濟發展（Decent Work and Economic Growth） SDG9：產業創新與基礎設施（Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure） SDG10：減少不平等（Reduced Inequalities） SDG12：負責任的消費與生產（Responsible Consumption and Production） SDG13：氣候行動（Climate Action）
Does the course incorporate AI	● 鼓勵學生使用生成式AI工具（Encourage students to use generative AI tools）
Note	本學期原則採實體授課方式； Microsoft TEAMS will be used for remote learning if COVID-19 alert requires. TEAMS is also used for assignment submission. Please use "student ID@cc.ntut.edu.tw" and nportal password to log in teams.microsoft.com 若因疫情升溫，將採用Microsoft TEAMS 進行遠距上課。本課程所有作業也由TEAMS繳交。 請採用各自 學號@cc.ntut.edu.tw 與入口網站密碼登入TEAMS。
