「在求學和生活中,我們總會遇到無法逃避的挑戰與困境。有時,這些困難源自外界的環境,有時卻是來自我們內心
的不安與掙扎。」黃老師期許他的指導不僅能幫助學生成長,更讓學生們學會如何應對未來的挑戰,從中找到解決問題的勇氣。
從業界到教職:堅守教學熱忱的動力來源
黃老師分享了其從學校畢業後的職涯發展,初期選擇進入業界,因為希望能在第一線汲取最尖端的技術與實際經驗。但黃老師強調,在業界工作壓力雖大,卻也因此學到許多寶貴的知識,並與頂尖人才切磋交流。後來因緣際會選擇回到學校任教,更在教學過程中逐漸體會到教育的樂趣。
黃老師也在此引用費曼的名言「想要真正學懂一件事,最好的方法就是教它」,表示自己在教學過程中不僅提升了專業能力,還透過與學生互動,深化了對學科的理解,雙向成長。
寓教於樂:探索專業,建立班級凝聚力
說到班級活動,黃老師提及會特別安排每學期的工廠參觀活動,成為師生間難忘的美好回憶。系上傳統要求學生在四年內參加至少六次工廠參觀,不僅拓展學生的專業視野,更增進班級凝聚力。每次活動,導師都會隨車同行,甚是擔任“導遊”,以幽默的互動和趣味小故事逗樂學生,讓原本單調的車程充滿歡笑。
黃老更利用自身興趣的專業背景,結合過去考取外語領隊資格之經驗,事先了解參觀工廠的特點,向學生簡單介紹重點內容,讓學生更加身歷其中。透過這些活動,能適時讓學生們透氣,不僅拉近與學生的距離,也讓原本課業繁重的學習生活增添一抹輕鬆與溫暖。
寄語學生:築基底以開闊未來的可能
在勉勵學生時,老師強調「天下沒有白吃的午餐」以及「要怎麼收穫,先怎麼栽」的重要性。
黃老師認為,學生應該把握大學時光,打好基礎,不論是專業技能還是個人特質,都是為未來人生累積籌碼。更建議同學們能從中尋找學科的樂趣與價值,並全力以赴去體驗。
最後,黃老師鼓勵學生不僅要培養硬實力,更要提升軟實力,像是開闊的心胸與良好的溝通能力,這些特質將使同學們在未來職涯與人生選擇中更具競爭力!
In both learning and life, we inevitably encounter challenges and difficulties that cannot be avoided. Sometimes, these obstacles stem from external circumstances, while at other times, they arise from internal anxieties and struggles.
Mr. Huang aspires for his guidance not only to help students grow but also to equip them with the skills to face future challenges and the courage to solve problems along the way.
From Industry to Academia: The Source of Passion for Teaching
Mr. Huang shared his career development journey after graduating from university. Initially, he chose to enter the industry, hoping to gain cutting-edge technical knowledge and hands-on experience on the front lines. He emphasized that while working in the industry was stressful, it also provided valuable insights and opportunities to collaborate with top talent. Later, due to a twist of fate, he decided to return to academia, where he gradually discovered the joys of teaching.
Quoting Feynman’s famous saying, “The best way to truly understand something is to teach it,” Mr. Huang expressed how the teaching process not only enhanced his professional skills but also deepened his understanding of his field through interactions with students, fostering mutual growth.
Teaching Through Engagement: Exploring Expertise and Building Class Cohesion
When discussing class activities, Mr. Huang mentioned organizing factory visits each semester, creating unforgettable memories for both teachers and students. A departmental tradition requires students to participate in at least six factory visits over their four years of study. These visits not only broaden students’ professional horizons but also strengthen class cohesion. During these trips, Mr. Huang always accompanies the students, often acting as a “tour guide,” using humor and engaging anecdotes to entertain them, turning otherwise mundane journeys into delightful experiences.
Leveraging his professional background and past certification as a foreign-language tour guide, Mr. Huang prepares by researching the features of the factories to be visited. He provides brief introductions to key highlights, helping students immerse themselves in the experience. These activities give students a chance to unwind, fostering closer connections between teacher and students while adding a touch of relaxation and warmth to their otherwise demanding academic lives.
Words for Students: Laying the Foundation to Unlock Future Potential
When encouraging his students, Mr. Huang emphasizes the importance of “there’s no such thing as a free lunch” and “you reap what you sow.”
He believes students should make the most of their university years to build a solid foundation, whether in professional skills or personal qualities, as these will become assets for their future. Furthermore, he advises students to discover the joy and value of their studies and to immerse themselves fully in the experience.
Finally, Mr. Huang encourages students not only to develop hard skills but also to enhance their soft skills, such as an open mindset and effective communication abilities. These traits will make them more competitive in their future careers and life choices.
