高等专科学院用英语叫做 "polytechnic college"。
"Polytechnic" 来源于希腊语 "poly"，意思是 "多"，和 "technic"，意思是 "技术"。因此，"polytechnic" 意为 "多元技术"。
举例：
"I'm currently studying at a polytechnic college, majoring in mechanical engineering." (我目前在高等专科学院学习，主修机械工程)
"The polytechnic college offers a wide range of vocational programs." (这所高等专科学院提供广泛的职业培训课程)
"He graduated from a polytechnic college with a degree in computer science." (他毕业于高等专科学院，获得计算机科学学位)
