CTCI Foundation has long committed itself to developing technological talents for Taiwan by arranging annual visits to Taiwan’s prominent enterprises for international graduate students. This is the best opportunity for foreign student to understand deeply about prospects of Taiwanese corporations and working environments. I was very interested in this event and I found the enterprise visit to be the best visit I had ever joined in Taiwan. InvesTaiwan Service Center brought me a lot of useful information and knowledge about working and investing in Taiwan. CTCI Corp., MiTAC, Advantech, Rhymebus and HIWIN which are all with delicate mechanical products, harvested green energy machine, complicated mechatronic devices, and many others. All of representatives were professional, kind, enthusiastic, and friendly to spend their precious time with us. I tasted many delicious traditional dishes and met friendly Taiwanese people in different counties. As well, for the first time, I visited an extremely beautiful area in Nantou called the Sun Moon Lake which is a beautiful alpine lake surrounded by mountains. It is a peaceful region with the special traditional culture of LaLu tribe and with no air pollution. The three day trip was too short, since the activities were very exciting and every participant was very much into it. All participants became friends and discussed with each other about researches, country cultures, hobbies, and universities where we are currently studying at. This trip was successful in that we learned useful information about Taiwanese corporations and special traditional cultures in Taiwan. I have a brighter view regarding job hunting in Taiwan after my graduation. Studying abroad is a great experience as it helps me to strengthen practical and theoretical skills, enrich my curriculum vitae, and train me to be more independent and so is working abroad. I hope I will have a chance to work with Mechanical Engineers and at the same time learning a lot of new technologies. I will introduce all this to my friends who are thinking of coming to Taiwan for study, research, or work in the near future.
