Sustainable Development Goals

Abstract/Objectives

This course provides an overview of several types of optoelectronic components, including: Background and fundamentals, Light-emitting devices, Light-receiving devices, Light-guiding devices, and other photonic devices

Results/Contributions

The curriculum corresponds to the sustainable development goals proposed by the United Nations, mainly including the following points:


SDG 7 "Affordable and Clean Energy" – Photovoltaic components are an important foundation for renewable energy technology, such as solar cells (photovoltaic devices) and high-efficiency light-emitting diodes (LEDs). They can enhance energy conversion efficiency and reduce energy consumption, facilitating the development of green energy.


SDG 9 "Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure" – Photovoltaic technology is widely applied in the semiconductor industry, optical communication systems, and various sensing devices. It is a key foundation for promoting the development of high-tech industries and technological innovation, helping to strengthen industrial competitiveness and upgrade infrastructure.


Additionally, other indirectly related items include:

SDG 13 "Climate Action" – By developing energy-saving lighting and renewable energy-related technologies, this contributes to reducing carbon emissions and mitigating the impacts of climate change.

SDG 4 "Quality Education" – By cultivating students' professional knowledge and application abilities in the fields of photovoltaics and semiconductors, it improves the quality of higher education and nurtures technology talents equipped with sustainable development competencies.
