- Abstract
Universities have been established for thousand years to pursue knowledge, facilitate social development, and cultivate citizens in order for better lives with well-being, harmony, and civilization. After decades of intensive pursuing academic research, world-class ranking, and meritocracy achievement, universities reflectively value their social responsibilities to enrich students without academic talents who have been underdeveloped and even unfairly recognized as social burden. This study addresses an empirical approach undertaken by a university of science and technology to initiate innovative programs for underdeveloped youngsters, with special aptitudes but dropout from schools, to revitalize their learning enthusiasm and reach impressive achievement in various fields. As its social responsibilities equivalently alongside the ones to superlative research and industry services, this university commits these pioneering programs including Prospective Program for aptitude students, Talented Pilotage Program for spillover creativity, Incubation Program for entrepreneur students, Elite Program for accelerated achievement, and that like. Students in these programs received individual educational plan which was designed under the intensive cooperation among student, faculty members, consultant, and even employer to develop each student’s utmost potential. The administrative strategies and instructional contents of these programs and the retrospection on these pioneering approaches are in-depth discussed.
