The company personnel of TECO were friendly. Their presentation was very helpful in providing a comprehensive overview of the company operations. At InvesTaiwan Service Center, the presentation given by the hosts was informative and helpful to foreigners. Besides giving information for entrepreneurs looking to invest in Taiwan, the center could also try to include information on how to go about initiating startup and fund-raising in Taiwan. At Shihlin Electric, the representatives of the company gave a good explanation of the ongoing manufacturing processes and answered technical queries proficiently. The representative from Fortune Electric gave a very good presentation and the visit through the transformer manufacturing plant was a very useful learning experience. At Taiwan Hon Chuan Enterprise, the presentation was useful in providing us with a good idea of company operations. At Fair Friend Enterprise, the presentation was professional, impressive and gave detail information regarding company's vast operations. Their virtual factory setup, real-time monitoring of facilities abroad and fully connected online management system were very remarkable. To be a mechanical engineer, there were a lot to learn in the plant. For students looking for research-based jobs, the corporations could consider including an introduction to their R&D projects. Having a visit to R&D facility would help us gain an understanding of the research environment in the industry. This trip has given me a valuable glimpse into Taiwanese industry that could potentially affect my future career direction.
