The company visit provides opportunity for international graduate students studying in Taiwan universities, to develop practical experience and get first-hand information for running industry-based researches. It also helps to connect students to high-tech companies with recruitment needs for international talents. TECO’s high standard technology with ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certificates as well as energy efficiency certificates makes me want to have such TECO branches in my home country too. Shihlin Electric & Engineer Corporation manufactures electrical and power transformers, switch gear, controls and automotive electrical devices. Every year, it goes through design re-development and market enhancement for continuous improvement. Fortune Electric makes products similar to those of Shihlin Corporation. THC Company specializes in packaging automation. As we have seen from the trip, it is going beyond labor-intensive stage and working to be environmental friendly. Fair Friend Enterprise Corporation is a wonderful company that engages in machine tool, PCB, industry equipment, and green energy businesses. Generally speaking, the trip was successful with wonderful memories. Industrial visit activity created possibility for having a job in Taiwan, which I am looking forward to after graduation. My personal suggestion is perhaps we could increase the number of participants in the future. Since many students want to join the visit and work in Taiwan, but do not have such opportunity yet.
