To promote academic exchanges and knowledge sharing, and enhance the knowledge and understanding of science and engineering fields among college students and teaching staff, the Faculty of Innovation Engineering of MUST conducts the Interdisciplinary Science and Engineering (ISE) Lecture Series (Fall) by inviting well-known scholars and professionals from different fields to share their insights on the latest research results and application practices in science and engineering. The sixth seminar of the ISE Lecture Series were held on the afternoon of October 31, 2024 at the MUST LIU’s Innovation and Technology Center.
The lecture was hosted by Chair Professor Wu Nai Qi from Department of Engineering Science at Faculty of Innovation Engineering, and attended by President of MUST Joseph Hun Wei Lee, Professor Timothy Jeonglyeol Lee, the Vice Dean of Faculty of Hospitality and Tourism Management, Chair Professor Li Zhi Wu, the Assistant Dean of Faculty of Innovation Engineering, Assistant Professor Leong Weng Hang from Department of Engineering Science at Faculty of Innovation Engineering, and Assistant Professor Liu Wei Hua from School of Business. Faculty of Innovation Engineering sincerely welcomed the graduate students and postdoctoral researchers from the FIE, as well as people interested in science and engineering to participate in this ISE Lecture Series and discuss the importance of interdisciplinarity studies and future development directions.

The sixth lecture of the series, "Industry 5.0 by Parallel Humans of Parallel Intelligence: From Neo-Platonism's Shadows to Karl Popper's Three Worlds" was given by Distinguished Guest Professor Fei Yue Wang, Department of Engineering Science at MUST. In the speech, he explored the transformative potentials of parallel intelligence in the upcoming Industry 5.0 era. Starting from Plotinus’ shadows of the ONE and Karl Popper’s foundation models of Three World, Professor Fei Yue Wang introduced the concepts of Foundation/Infrastructure Intelligence and further discuss how parallel intelligence—enriched by Generative Artificial Intelligence (AGI) and Large Language Models (LLMs), such as ChatGPT and SORA—integrates human/artificial and physical/digital intelligence, merges the artificial world with the real world, transforming the operational and efficiency landscapes of the coming smart societies. He believed that this transformation would fundamentally reshape traditional roles and workflows of social organizations, leading to the "6S" intelligent industry that ensures Safety, Security, Sustainability, Sensitivity, Service, and Smartness for our humankind.

The lectures series is an important initiative of the Faculty of Innovation Engineering to cultivate outstanding talents with innovative thinking and interdisciplinary abilities. Lecture topics will cover a variety of fields, such as artificial intelligence, environmental engineering, materials science, and biomedical engineering, etc. Participants have the opportunity to learn from experts in academia who introduced cutting-edge technologies and research progress, and provided an in-depth discussion of challenges and opportunities in related fields for college teachers and students to stimulate innovative thinking in science and technology. The Faculty of Innovation Engineering will continue to hold more academic lectures to provide more practical information and platforms for our teachers and students to promote interdisciplinary integration and sharing of academic achievements, and to cultivate more outstanding leaders in science and engineering disciplines.
