In recent years, Garmin has also achieved rapid growth in wearable technology and action camera markets. By working closely with Garmin, students gain valuable hands-on experience in cutting-edge technologies while collaborating with international engineering teams. This industry partnership not only enhances academic learning through real-world applications, but also helps students develop practical skills, professional networks, and a strong foundation for a successful global career in high-tech industries.

• Collaborate with global engineering teams and suppliers to develop next-generation Garmin products, including display modules, touch screens, backlight design, optical adhesives, cover glass manufacturing processes, and coating technologies.
• Conduct advanced technology development and implementation, including developing partner suppliers, defining specifications with suppliers, establishing verification procedures and schedules, and supporting panel and touch module design and related validation.
• Participate in new product development and mass production readiness, including pre production preparation, failure analysis and resolution, fixture design discussions, and defining testing procedures. Work with domestic and international teams to ensure high quality mass production within planned timelines.
• Perform real-world product testing to ensure excellent user experience and alignment with customer needs.
• Conduct competitive product analysis and collect industry trends to assess and enhance product competitiveness.

• Students must achieve TOCFL (Test of Chinese as a Foreign Language) Level A2 or above in listening and reading by the second year of enrollment.
