It was my first enterprise visit in Taiwan. It was exciting to see such a small country can have a huge manufacturing industry. I did not know TECO is the largest manufacturer of motors and covers diversified fields of manufacturing on top of home appliances. As a physicist, I was glad to see the making of transformers from Shihlin and Fortune Electric Corporations. The technical staff explained information on transformers and its making very well. The visit to InvesTaiwan Service Center was important and much appreciated. As foreigners, we should know important guidelines about working and starting business in Taiwan. For the visit to Taiwan Hon Chuan, a packaging manufacturing company, I was surprised that only few technicians were there for beverage packaging. Utilizing advanced machines and equipment, it was completely automated from start to finish. The Fair Friend Group was my favorite company. This company is the world’s third largest machine tool manufacturer and has branches all over the world. Their monitoring of units and processes are really advanced given the use of current VR technology. If I get a chance, I would like to work in this industry to improve my skills. The visit to the earthquake museum was very useful to learn about earthquakes, safety guidelines, and building constructions in Taiwan. No one can stop natural disasters, but we can always work on precautions to ensure safety. Overall, it was a wonderful experience. We not only get to see different processes and machineries running live projects, but also learn about internships and job opportunities here.
