The long-term use of traditional energy has caused numerous environmental disasters, and the limited fossil fuels pose latent crises for the future energy system of the world. The development of green energy has become a focal point of concern across various sectors. Green energy can be divided into renewable energy and energy storage technologies, among which solar energy is a crucial renewable resource. With active investment from governments worldwide, the global solar photovoltaic industry has experienced an average growth rate of 30%, leading to a high demand for solar cells. Major companies in Taiwan, such as United Microelectronics Corporation (UMC) and Chi Mei Corporation, are also planning to invest in this field. Energy and the environment will be significant issues humanity will face in the coming decades. Therefore, we hope that this course will enhance students' cross-disciplinary understanding of green technology energy, promote creative activities in green energy technology, and combine the resources of the whole school with industry to cultivate talents equipped with green energy application and innovation capabilities. Moreover, we aim to promote the application of renewable energy technologies across various departments, thereby increasing the competitiveness of Taiwan's green energy technology industry talent.

Abstract/Objectives
The long-term reliance on traditional energy sources has led to environmental disasters and poses future crises due to limited fossil fuels. Consequently, the development of green energy, particularly renewable energy and energy storage technologies, has gained prominence. Solar energy is a key renewable resource, and with significant global government investment, the solar photovoltaic industry has grown at an average rate of 30%, increasing demand for solar cells. Companies in Taiwan, like United Microelectronics Corporation and Chi Mei Corporation, are also investing in this sector. Addressing energy and environmental challenges will be crucial for humanity in coming decades. The goal of the course mentioned is to enhance students' understanding of green technology, foster innovation in this field, and collaborate with industry to develop talent skilled in green energy applications. Ultimately, it aims to boost the competitiveness of Taiwan's green energy technology workforce.
