I find Taiwan to be a great place to explore new things. There always exits opportunities and challenges for international students to develop new skills. And the CTCI Enterprise Visit is one of the best opportunities I have ever experienced. InvesTaiwan gave extraordinary useful information about entrepreneurship and exciting possibilities available in Taiwan. MiTAC gave an outstanding introduction and showed me the successful developments of smart cards in Metro stations and E-gate immigration systems. At CTCI Corporation, thanks to Mr. Louis Chen, I learned useful information about the power stations, working culture, and related opportunities for young minds. At Advantech, thanks to Mr. Vincent Chang, the Director of Industrial IoT group. We explored the real time working environment through control room, and learned about how IoT could actualize human dreams in the near future. The integration of hardware and software can give solutions to make the world so powerful. Rhymebus showcased their successful control of power saving circuit designs; it was wonderful to generate electricity power by doing exercise. Mr. Sam Chang and Mr. Lanson Lin also explained the job opportunities for the young minds. HIWIN showed students their existing modern technologies in the nearest future, the single axes and multi axes robots and their amazing applications in transportation and medical applications. It was interesting to see how companies run business, how they formulate problems and integrate successful products for improving the human society and lifestyle. Smart Libraries in the companies are one of the best resources I found. Aside from learning career opportunities, the visit allowed me to understand important things such as the basics of entrepreneurship, how academic research could be implemented in the industries, the working culture in the industries, what possible improvements could still be made, and how to utilize resources efficiently. I would like to give sincere thanks to CTCI Foundation for having selected me for the Enterprise Visit and the staffs for timely support. This was a wonderful opportunity and experience!
