Reference excerpt

NDHU Graduate Institute of Marine Biology (Chinese: 國立東華大學海洋生物研究所, abbreviated NDHU IMB) was established in 2005. Originally known as the National Dong Hwa University College of Marine Sciences, it is located in Kenting National Park, Taiwan, and was Taiwan's first partnership model between university and museum. NDHU IMB was co-founded by National Dong Hwa University (NDHU) and National Museum of Marine Biology and Aquarium (NMMBA), and is part of NDHU College of Environmental Studies and Oceanography, operating as an independent research institute in the field of oceanography. It offers MS in Marine Biotechnology (MBT) and Marine Biodiversity and Evolution (MBE) and PhD in Marine Biology.

History

NDHU College of Marine Sciences NDHU College of Marine Sciences originated from the university's founding proposal, which included plans to establish a college of marine sciences. Similar collaborations between prestigious schools and museums abroad, such as United States's University of California, San Diego with Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO), France's University of Paris with Paris Museum of Natural History (MNHN), and UK's University of Bristol with Natural History Museum, London (NHM), have been successful in nurturing graduate's research talent. The National Museum of Marine Biology and Aquarium has also built a substantial capacity for scientific research and social education reputation since its establishment. Therefore, NDHU College of Marine Sciences was founded under the promotion by the 2nd President of National Dong Hwa University, Wen-Shu Hwang, and Founding Director of National Museum of Marine Biology and Aquarium, Lee-Shing Fang. In 2004, National Dong Hwa University and National Museum of Marine Biology and Aquarium formally signed a partnership agreement, establishing the NDHU College of Marine Sciences at the newly established National Dong Hwa University Pingtung Campus (within NMMBA). This 'independent establishment, cooperative education' model was the first of its kind in Taiwan. The campus originally housed two institutes: Graduate Institute of Marine Biotechnology and Graduate Institute of Marine Biodiversity and Evolution. In 2014, these two institutes were merged into a single Graduate Institute of Marine Biology, with divisions for Marine Biotechnology (MBT) and Marine Biodiversity and Evolution (MBE). In 2017, NDHU IMB launched a Ph.D. program in Marine Biology.

NDHU College of Environmental Studies and Oceanography In 2022, NDHU College of Environmental Studies and Oceanography (NDHU CESO) was established through integrating NDHU College of Marine Sciences and NDHU College of Environmental Studies in response to the global trend of interdisciplinary integration in sustainable development involving environmental studies and oceanography. NDHU Graduate Institute of Marine Biology became an independent research institute under NDHU CESO. In 2023, Pei-Jie Meng, Vice Dean of NDHU College of Environmental Studies and Oceanography, took over as Director of Taiwan Ocean Research Institute (TORI).

Academics

The NDHU Graduate Institute of Marine Biology (IMB) originally consisting of the Marine Biotechnology Institute and the Marine Biodiversity and Evolution Institute in 2005, later merged into Graduate Institute of Marine Biology. NDHU IMB is Located in Checheng Township, Pingtung County, within National Museum of Marine Biology and Aquarium, and situated in Kenting National Park, where is the resource-rich marine environment surrounded by coral reefs and diverse tropical marine life, NMMBA provides academic research facilities and doctoral level faculty, allowing students to directly utilize these resources for research and learning.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with National Dong Hwa University Graduate Institute of Marine Biology

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what National Dong Hwa University Graduate Institute of Marine Biology claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In astronomy, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to National Dong Hwa University Graduate Institute of Marine Biology before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about National Dong Hwa University Graduate Institute of Marine Biology ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of National Dong Hwa University Graduate Institute of Marine Biology

In research: National Dong Hwa University Graduate Institute of Marine Biology appears in astronomy research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses National Dong Hwa University Graduate Institute of Marine Biology in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: National Dong Hwa University Graduate Institute of Marine Biology is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 2005 establishments in Taiwan, Checheng, Educational institutions established in 2005, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for National Dong Hwa University Graduate Institute of Marine Biology outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
