The Times Higher Education released the world university rankings by subject last week. CYUT listed 601-800 in the Business & Economics Rankings for the first time, the best compared with its rankings in Computer Science (800+) and Engineering (1000+), atop other technological universities.

With remarkable performances in international collaborative paper publication and paper citation this year, CYUT entered the Business and Economics Rankings for the first time. The College of Management increased the number of papers published in international journals, with more than 300 papers in the Scopus database in the past two years. It targeted to nurture cross-domain FinTech talents in smart finance, digital transformation, e-business, LOHAS management, and sustainability management. Moreover, it has a number of faculty members ranked among the world's top 2% scientists published by Stanford University. 

The school has been in the Computer Science Ranking for five consecutive years. Its number of papers published in international journals increased threefold, skyrocketed in the R&D capacity of artificial intelligence, IoT applications, big data, Industry 4.0, intelligent video analytics, and smart business. The College of Informatics set up the A2I Smart Industrial Technology R&D Center to help automation and intelligentization of traditional industries. It co-hosted double master's degree programs with overseas universities to foster international cross-disciplinary IT talents. 

Furthermore, the school's effort in R&D and industry-academia collaborations paid off handsomely in the Engineering Ranking, which CYUT has entered for three straight years. It established university-level research centers to facilitate multi-disciplinary research with cutting-edge technology. The Center for Nondestructive Testing invested in stress wave testing, thermal and optical image analysis, and 3D point cloud modeling. It developed automated NDT technology combined with unmanned aerial vehicles to diagnose slope disaster prevention and civil structural health. The impact is long-lasting, and it benefited the NDT development of Taiwan.
