Congratulations! Associate Professor Min-Tsong Lee of the Department of Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology Wins the 2025 IEET Outstanding Teaching Award

Below is a brief profile and summary of teaching achievements for Prof. Lee:

Associate Professor Min-Tsong Lee

• Department: Department of Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology, National Taipei University of Technology
• Highest Degree: Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering, Rutgers University, USA
• Courses Taught: Unit Operations and Transport Phenomena, Chemical Process Design, Introduction to Artificial Intelligence and Computer Programming, Development of Engineering Simulation Tools, Computer-Aided Chemical Engineering, etc.

Teaching Achievements:
　　• Innovative Curriculum Design & Talent Cultivation: Grounded in molecular simulation and programming instruction, Prof. Lee has developed multiple courses combining simulation software with generative AI. He guides students to build systematic thinking for complex problems, enhances self-directed learning and practical skills, and aims to cultivate engineering talent equipped with knowledge absorption, application, and social responsibility.

　　• Capstone Integration & Thematic Course Clusters: To align with capstone course objectives for assessing students' core competencies, Prof. Lee restructured and optimized course frameworks, designing a curriculum map with horizontal integration and vertical extension. He plans to promote thematic course clusters centered on hands-on simulation, allowing students to progressively build practical skills and an integrative perspective from foundational stages, developing professional literacy that balances cross-disciplinary problem-solving with public responsibility.

　　• Pedagogical Practices & Inclusive Learning: In the classroom, Prof. Lee widely applies flipped learning, real-time feedback, and digital teaching materials. He deconstructs and reshapes teaching methodologies to tailor environments to course content and student traits, boosting overall learning capacity and competence. Whether in foundational or advanced practical courses, he strives to establish a learning rhythm where all students can participate, comprehend, and grow—earning high praise, positive student feedback, and both college- and university-level Outstanding Teaching Awards.

　　• Bilingual Education (EMI) & Internationalization: Prof. Lee has long participated in bilingual education initiatives and peer observation programs, collaborating with faculty members and international academic consultants to develop effective English as a Medium of Instruction (EMI) strategies. Addressing the gap between language proficiency and technical understanding, he designs learning-efficiency-focused instruction that helps students build confidence and capabilities in comprehension, application, and expression.
