Congratulations! Professor Yi-Lang Chenand his students, Kuan Yi-Hsuan et al., has won First Place in the Human Factors & Design category at the 2025 National IEM Undergraduate Competition.

在 2025 年全國「工業工程與管理」大學生專題論文與技術報告競賽中，明志科技大學工業工程與管理系表現優異、成果斐然，分別在「人因工程與設計組」與「技術報告組」榮獲第一名與佳作的佳績，展現本系學生在學術研究與實務應用的卓越實力。

n the 2025 National Undergraduate Project Thesis and Technical Report Competition for Industrial Engineering and Management, the Department of Industrial Engineering and Management at Ming Chi University of Technology (MCUT) demonstrated outstanding performance and achieved remarkable results. The department secured top honors, winning First Place in the "Human Factors Engineering and Design" category and an Honorable Mention in the "Technical Report" category, showcasing the exceptional abilities of our students in both academic research and practical application.

【人因工程與設計組｜榮獲第一名】

【First Place | Human Factors Engineering and Design Category】

由工管系「陳一郎 教授」的指導下，率領關亦媗、鍾皓然、黃紫菱三位學生針對現代人常見的生活情境進行深入探討，作品題目為「後背包重量對站立與步行使用手機之頸肩負荷分析」，研究聚焦於在行走或站立使用手機時，背包重量如何影響人體姿勢與頸肩肌群負荷。透過實驗與人因工程觀測分析，發現背包重量會加劇頭部前傾與肩頸壓力，為現代學生與上班族長期身體負荷提供了具科學依據的預防建議。本研究具高度實用性與健康教育意義，獲得評審一致肯定，勇奪人因組第一名殊榮。

Under the supervision of Professor I-Lang Chen from the Department of Industrial Engineering and Management, a team of three students—Kuan Yi-Hsuan, Chung Hao-Jan, and Huang Tzu-Ling—conducted an in-depth investigation into a common scenario in modern life. Their project, titled "An Analysis of the Effects of Backpack Weight on Neck and Shoulder Load While Using a Smartphone in Standing and Walking Postures," focused on how backpack weight impacts body posture and the muscular load on the neck and shoulder region when a person is using a smartphone while standing or walking. Through experimental methods and ergonomic analysis, the team discovered that the weight of a backpack exacerbates forward head posture and increases stress on the neck and shoulders. Their work provides scientifically-based preventive recommendations for mitigating long-term physical strain, an issue highly relevant to modern students and office workers. The study's high degree of practicality and significance in health education earned unanimous acclaim from the judges, securing the first-place award in the Human Factors category.

此次得獎作品不僅展現學生在人因工程、資料分析、AI技術與永續管理等領域的跨域整合能力，也體現工管系長期重視「理論與實務結合」的教學理念。在指導老師群的專業帶領下，學生團隊能夠從生活中發掘問題、以數據驅動研究、並提出具體解方，正是本系教育成果的最佳展現。

This award-winning project not only highlights the students' interdisciplinary skills in integrating human factors engineering, data analysis, AI technology, and sustainable management, but also embodies the department's long-standing educational philosophy of "integrating theory with practice." Under the professional guidance of our faculty, the student team's ability to identify problems in daily life, conduct data-driven research, and develop tangible solutions is a prime testament to the success of our department's educational outcomes.

工業工程與管理系將持續培育具有實務能力與創新精神的專業人才，鼓勵學生參與各類全國與國際競賽，讓明志學子的亮眼表現持續在舞台上發光發熱！

The Department of Industrial Engineering and Management will continue to cultivate professionals equipped with practical skills and an innovative spirit. We will encourage our students to participate in a wide range of national and international competitions, ensuring that the brilliant achievements of Ming Chi students continue to shine on a larger stage.
