Being the Nepalese by nationality, I would like to say Taiwan has provided more than anything to the international graduates to know Taiwanese culture better in areas such as life style, religion and work cultures. I originally thought this camp would like other activities I joined before, just to visit the historic place and enjoy the scenery, but I was wrong. I would like to say this camp provides us to build our concept regarding industrialization. This 3 days camp provides bundle of knowledge. This camp provides us with better knowledge on the operation and the functioning of the Taiwanese companies. This is something awesome that no one has expected before. I get to know many things and ideas that I want to put this ideas into practice in coming days in my country. Lastly, I would like to say CTCI has done a great work arranging visits to different companies, places and to enjoy the local food. I appreciate all their hard work and strongly feel that CTCI can provide not only the camp but students can also find employment opportunity during this company visit.

First I would like to forward my profound and great appreciation and thanks to CTCI Foundation for such a wonderful and life changing experience. It really means so much to me that with such a huge number of applicants, you awarded me the opportunity to be part of this Enterprise visit for international graduate students. I think the purpose of this trip was fully achieved, because participates’ view on Taiwan’s businesses and working environment was broadened. Its provided the participants with an opportunity to learn how the real business operates here in Taiwan, and many questions they had about Taiwan business were answered during the discussions we had with the different managers, and visiting tours of Taiwan’s high-tech companies and green enterprises made most of us understand the development and prospects of Taiwan's high-tech and green industries. So the valuable knowledge gained have indeed enhanced the willingness of a number of participates including myself to have their careers here in Taiwan. The trip offered me a great opportunity to interact with different individuals from different learning institutions and different countries. And this really expanded the horizon of my network and helps me understand the diverse cultures of the world which is important as the World becomes more globalized each and every day. I hope CTCI Foundation will continue availing this life changing opportunity to other international graduate students because these valuable hands-on learning occasions have proved not only lead to an increased love of learning but also a deeper understanding of what we learn in class and really enhance the willingness of international graduate students to pursuit their careers here in Taiwan. It also provides participants with various vital lessons which they will definitely make full use back in their countries and greatly contribute to their development.

I am grateful for having the chance to join 2015 Enterprise Visit for International Graduate Students. We visited 6 companies including Advantech Corporation, CTCI Corporation, Advanced Lithium Electrochemistry and so on. It was the first time for me to visit Taiwanese company with students from different countries. Everything was so interesting that made me excited and looked forward to it. The first company we visited was Advantech Corporation. They produce intelligent equipment and provide solution of intelligent building. I was amazed by their “Intelligent Energy Saving Space Design” and “Energy Management Information Visualization”. It can make our life much more convenient and comfortable and reduce the use of energy. I think it will be the trend of our future life to be. We need this kind of intelligent equipment to raise human living standard. Continuous improvement of technology is needed to meet the needs of different people and they will be sure to recruit more talented people into their group. The second company is CTCI Corporation, the largest engineering, procurement and construction firm in Taiwan. This is a company with long history and prestige. We had a visit at the monitoring center with introduction of staffs. I think this is an international company with comprehensive environmental health and safety system that I am quite interested in. I major in Environmental Engineering and Management, and I hope to have chance to join this corporation. The other companies are also amazing, such as Aleees manufactures fantastic electrical buses, Miaoli County Refuse Incineration Plant operated in a form of Build-Operate-Transfer benefits the government and local tourism. These are good companies for international students to work for after graduation. There are most lovely people and most delicious food in Taiwan, and this is the best place to live and work in Asia.

首先真的非常感謝中技社費心舉辦這麼有趣又有益的活動，並且給予我機會能夠參與其中。平日很少有機會可以結識這麼多各國的夥伴一起同行，也不太有機會可以深入到企業實地進行參訪，是非常棒的體驗。實地了解頂尖企業的理念，並且看到了不少會讓人忍不住驚嘆的產品，像是立凱電能科技的電動巴士和研華科技公司的智能建築都讓我萬分的敬佩。活動中也認識了非常多有趣的朋友。二十五個團員各自來自十多個國家，也非常特別，大家都好熱心開朗，短短的三天朝夕相處，發生了許多有趣的事，對我來說是一段很溫暖的記憶，讓彼此的分離顯得特別不捨。最後再次謝謝中技社，並希望未來萬事如意。

I think this activity is not only give international students who studying in Taiwan an opportunity to visit famous Taiwan companies, gain more knowledge about Taiwan’s working environment culture, practical experiences but also provide students a good chance to form a professional network for their future career. I took part in this activity also with a purpose to learn more knowledge about practical working environment in Taiwan. Furthermore, there were 25 international students who are studying in Taiwan, from more than 10 different countries such as Vietnam, Indonesia, India, South Africa, Croatia… joined the visiting tour. Thus, I also have chances to discuss with other participants regarding to each country working opportunity and culture. In overall, the organizer provided a very useful and professional visiting tour, the participants were getting closer together, and a good professional network interaction between students and companies were settled. Thus, this kind of activity is very important and useful. I hope in the coming years, CTCI Foundation can widen the scale of this activity for more international students and more visiting days.

It has been few days already after the event passed and I am still amazed by the great opportunity CTCI Foundation gave to me. Not only in the professional aspects but also personal experiences shared with extraordinary people from all over the world. I would like to express my gratitude to the CTCI Foundation for all their support, organization and enthusiasm in this trip. Thank you for being open to foreigners and bringing to us a better understanding of the Taiwanese working environment and a better knowledge of the Taiwanese culture. After spending 2 years in Taiwan, I must confess I didn't have the opportunity to know more about Taiwan from my local lab mates because they were always shy and barely try to speak in English. As my Chinese is also bad, I can only know Taiwan from other foreigners whom were in the same position as me talking about classmates and lab mates. Thanks to the CTCI Foundation for providing us this opportunity to know more about Taiwanese companies, their processes and objectives. The Taiwanese companies we visited were open to any question we had, and explained to us their processes giving to us a better understanding of their business, most of the companies are the current leader in their area of business. Highly qualify companies with all the standards of quality as ISO 9001, ISO 50001. We went to Advantech, CTCI Corporation and Aleees; it is hard to select which one was my favorite, but I have to say that Aleees catches my attention because they are trying to improve and have a positive impact in our world, reducing the CO2 emissions from the environment and convert Taiwan into a country with environmental friendly transportation. We also visited BOT Incineration plant, Aerospace Corporation and PMI Group; my favorite from this batch was the Incineration plant, I was amazed by the amount of garbage they burn everyday almost 500 tons per day; It could be a good idea to manage the trash problem in a lot of countries. We also had an amazing time enjoying Taiwan country side and food with great people. Summarizing the trip as said at the beginning, it was marvelous! As a graduate student from a Taiwan university and after 2 years in Taiwan, I thought that I had already seen it all but I am really glad to say that this time I was wrong. Thanks to the CTCI Foundation we had the opportunity to know more about Taiwanese companies, their processes and objectives.

I would like to try to describe my thoughts on this visiting tour. First of all, thank CTCI Foundation for choosing me to become part of this visiting tour and thank all the accompanied staffs for your kindness during the trip. This trip is very valued because it gives me so much experience that I could not possibly imagine before this trip. Lovely accommodation and field trip in the last day was great combination of business and joy; I could say it is a wonderful and memorable all-in-one visiting tour. During our visiting, I saw lots of practical business which I do not have any chance to see in any courses at university. I saw how companies are operating and heard plenty information about them. This kind of tour where you have showed us all the best companies in their particular industry is an extraordinary experience, because I personally was never introduced in any similar company. Certain niches in which they are doing businesses are very interesting in this international economy because it gives them extra added value of profits to their products.

I think this industrial visit has meant a lot for us. First, it provides opportunity for international graduate students who study in Taiwan to develop practical experiences and it also opens space for students to be involved in industry-based research areas. Second, it allows students to get awareness about Taiwan high-tech industries and provides opportunity to make them part of the company. Third, it creates mutual ties between the companies and people and companies of other countries. Last but most, it provides a chance to share Taiwan’s culture, food, working environment, etc. The visit really helps us in our future careers by bringing a positive change in our thinking and practical behavior regarding industrial working environment, especially in the field of engineering in Taiwan. In addition, the staffs from the CTCI foundation were very supportive to all students. I am extremely thankful to all the accompanied staffs of the CTCI foundation during this enterprise visit.

I think this enterprise visit was a great success. It does not only bring international students from all parts of the world, but also enable them to interact peacefully. This peaceful interaction brought about cultural exchange and tolerance. We were all able to live peacefully; eat together, play together and exchange ideas while on the trip. The enterprises we visited were remarkable, starting from Advantech with the brand mission as “Enabling an intelligent planet”. They are doing an astonishing work in developing a smart city especially their intelligent building in the inspiration a smarter city. CTCI Corporation, the largest engineering, procurement and construction firm in Taiwan, is well known for its competence service and is definitely doing an amazing job in its field of expertise. Advanced Lithium Electrochemistry working toward developing solutions for lithium ferrous phosphate batteries and electric bus, and develop high quality, great price-performance ratio and long cycle-life of the LEF cathode materials. All the others companies we visited have their uniqueness in their own fields and it was great to visit them all.

This visit was quite interesting and it was a good learning experience. In overall, I think that all the activities were carefully planned and executed. I congratulate the CTCI foundation for the arrangement and making everything possible. Excellent job! Thanks very much for the great opportunity that you gave me to learn more about high-tech companies and organizations, meet new and awesome friends and to share with you all the great and fun memories. Please continue to plan and organize this activity in the future! In addition, I make several suggestions for the future activity. First, I thought that many participants were on the search for job opportunities. It would have been better if they could have had a direct contact with the organization’s personnel, in order to establish a connection for possible future job interviews. Therefore, I suggest taking into consideration the reasons of each participant to join the activity. Second, before the trip, if you already have the list of companies to visit, you could send to the participants a brochure with their information, so that the participants can have a chance to read about each company, and it may be even better for participants to “select” options for possible companies to visit before the trip, which could help both parties interact much better.

<P>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Thank you very much for a truly wonderful vacation trip, an unforgettable experience within these three days. Through this enterprise visiting activity, I have gotten much knowledge about the companies and industrials operations such as the software and hardware utility, operation flow system, company management system, employee hiring requirement etc. <P>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Besides, I have made new friends and visited new places during the course of the trip. I felt so comfortable and satisfied with the great services provided by CTCI Foundation. I hope next year I will have the opportunity to participate in event organized by the CTCI Foundation.

<P>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; I got your invitation letter that you have chosen me to be with you on that trip. It was a great opportunity to have a chance like that and to be selected from a long list of foreign students. I have been here in Taiwan for almost one year since September, 2014; but I never really been to such exciting journey. Thank you for giving me that opportunity <P>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The visit for the companies was well organized. We had enough time in every company to explore them in depth and how everything works. The hosting companies tried explaining everything in detail for us and often request for more questions about what they do. I had the opportunity to visit many companies from different perspectives; such as energy generation, renewable energy generation and Aerospace industry. Moreover, we had a chance to interact with different participants coming from different countries and different universities. This tour really expanded in multi-ways and I would like to recommend this to others international students who want to explore the technology and innovation side in Taiwan.
