In the 19th MXIO Silicon Awards—Semiconductor Design and Application Competition, Southern Taiwan University of Science and Technology, with its "Artificial Wisdom Separation System Based on Beamforming Technology," stood out from 272 works and won the Diamond Award of Application Group, Best Advisory Professor Award, and Most Creative Award, plus prize money of NT$ 530,000. Yuan-Tseh Lee, former president of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Liang-Ji Chen, Minister of Science and Technology, and Nan-Shian Chu, Minister of Education, and many other officials and researchers from the academic circles were invited to attend the awards, giving the awardees the greatest encouragement.

【Min-Chiao Wu, Chairman of MXIO Education Foundation, encouraged students to continue their attempts in innovation breakthroughs at the awards ceremony Deng-Maw Lu, President of Southern Taiwan University of Science and Technology, said that Collaborative Problem Solving (CPS) and student practical skills training have always been the teaching direction to which STUST attaches great importance. STUST also encourages teams to work together across colleges and departments, applying interdisciplinary knowledge to everyday life, solving real problems and promoting social progress in all aspects. STUST, Chi Mei Medical Center, and the NCKU SPARK team have always been closely interacting. In recent years, under the leadership of the College of Engineering, the Chi Mei Medical Center has extended many artificial intelligence applications for clinical cooperation. In the future, STUST will continue this kind of planning, providing abundant resources for teachers to organize various inter-college and interdisciplinary teams, so that students can cultivate their ability in interdisciplinary cooperation and to solid practical skills training. 】

The MXIO Silicon Awards, sponsored by MXIO Technology and MXIO Education Foundation, aims to encourage college students to develop, innovate and enhance their experiences in semiconductors. Since the first MXIO Silicon Awards—Semiconductor Design and Application Competition in 2000, the foundation has been making its annual offer of scholarship up to NT$ 3.76 million. Over 3,000 teams and more than 14,000 college teachers and students have participated in the competition over the past 20 years.

Wei-Shiang Chiu, of the Department of Electrical Engineering, Southern Taiwan University of Science and Technology, a doctoral student who won the Diamond Award this year, was instructed by Prof. Yu-Chun Du of the Department of Electrical Engineering and Dr. Ji Liu, who is working with the Department of Information Technology and Chi Mei Hospital, with the support of NCKU Spark Project. The work "Artificial Wisdom Separation System Based on Beamforming Technology" was designed to help his grandfather, who is troubled by the use of traditional hearing aids. He designed a multi-language device to reduce the noises due to cocktail party effect. Combined with the design of the glasses, sounds of the object in concern can become clearer through visual locking, suppressing other useless sound sources and breaking through the technical bottleneck that traditional hearing aids cannot overcome. Liang-Ji Chen, Minister of Science and Technology, said on his Facebook that this is the first time in nearly two decades that students of the University of Science and Technology have beaten the teams from top universities to win the Diamond Award. This is also the first time that Southern Taiwan University of Science and Technology has won the Diamond Award. It serves as a great example for our students in the future.
