The Mechanical Innovation Club, established in 2005, is a professional club under the School of Intelligent Manufacturing Engineering, serving students from the Mechanical Manufacturing & Automation and Mechatronics Technology programs. Centered around hands-on DIY projects and 3D printing, the club encourages students to turn feasible creative ideas into tangible products, aiming to enhance members’ mechanical design and manufacturing skills, foster innovation, and improve hands-on abilities.

It serves as a platform for mechanical enthusiasts to showcase their talents through activities such as 3D software rendering, designing and printing figurines, and DIY mechanical gadgets. The club also organizes participation in international exhibitions, helping members broaden their horizons and gain valuable exposure.

Founded in 2004, the Auto Enthusiasts Club is a professional student organization under the School of Intelligent Manufacturing Engineering, dedicated to students majoring in automotive engineering. Leveraging the university’s strengths in automotive education, the club provides a platform for students to “make friends through a shared love of cars.”

Through club activities, members gain valuable experience and broaden their social circles beyond their own classes—getting to know friends of friends through shared events and discussions.

With the mission of broadening horizons, appreciating automotive culture, engaging with society, and strengthening practical skills, the club is committed to combining theoretical knowledge with hands-on practice. Staying true to its original intention—connecting through cars—the club fosters a strong automotive culture, enhances students’ understanding of car brands and performance, shares practical car-related knowledge, and offers opportunities for part-time jobs and internships.

By closely linking learning with real-world experience, the club helps lay a solid foundation for students’ future careers in the automotive industry.
