Don't give up the challenge of any internship.

Feng Chia University has many international exchanges and internship opportunities. At first, I applied for an internship in Los Angeles had been canceled due to the epidemic. After the epidemic subsided, I tried again and successfully got a position as a laboratory researcher at the University of Strathclyde in Scotland, UK.
On the eve of my departure, the epidemic became more serious, many friends canceled their trips. However, I thought: the epidemic did not stop the world, but I won't let myself standstill.

I bravely took off.

Due to the epidemic, The University closed the lab to interns, and research had conducted online.

The research was mainly about using the machine I learned in the Department of Automation. Combine spectroscopic techniques with the equipment, and analyze the recycling data. I was highly appreciated by the professor while completing it.

Completed my internship and received high praise from my professor.

I traveled from north to south. Loch Ness, the legendary site of the water monster.Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland. The Titanic Museum in Belfast, Northern Ireland; Windermere, the birthplace of the English novel Peter Rabbit; Yorkshire, where Jay got married; London, the capital of England; and Cardiff, the largest city in the Welsh Executive. After the internship, I even had a round of Iceland during my vacation.

In addition to the research work, the culture shock was also a new experience. Many people on the streets of uncensored British towns were still not wearing masks; I had to protect myself in a foreign country, so I received my second dose of AstraZeneca vaccine in the UK. During an epidemic, every step you take is more challenging than usual, and learning to protect yourself is the only way to live safely with the virus.

Ten minutes on the stage needs ten years of practice off stage.

Senior year, three of my classmates and I participated in the 25th National University Information Application Service Innovation Competition and won first place in the Asia-Pacific Communication Chinese Division, developing a great team bond.

Then, we participated in the Macronix Metals Award - Semiconductor Design and Application Competition, a well-known competition in the industry, and formed a team with students from the Department of Automation and Electronics to represent Feng Chia.

What's more, the work had successfully patented in the U.S., Germany, China, and Taiwan. It had chosen as one of the Taiwan delegations to the Consumer Electronics Show (CES 2021).

Always be ready for the next challenge

Feng Chia University is a school that is very willing to spend resources on its students, and its teaching system has kept pace with the times to cultivate talents in various fields.

Life is not just about dead-end reading. The couplet outside the Xueshiyuan gate says, "To learn without thinking is reckless; to think without learning is dangerous.

Don't complain and think about your changes, develop the ability to solve problems, and always be prepared for tomorrow!

Internship

The first half of the year as a rookie intern

2025.04.07 (Mon)19:25 ~ 19:25

I experienced the last semester of the academic club in college, and decided to give myself an experience different from school life, so I chose the industrial internship in the department and entered the "Taichung System Development Department, Marketing Information Department, Cathay Life Insurance". Perhaps because of a bit of luck, I happened to meet Cathay Pacific who was updating the old system, so I directly joined the company's project development to create a greenhouse gas inventory information disclosure platform, log in and audit the greenhouse gas emissions of the entire company and make reports. Thinking that other Cathay Pacific people will use the system I made, every time I make a part, I will feel more fulfilled, and I will fully experience the feeling of a rookie working, not just an intern who goes to help. Cathay Pacific’s training plan for new recruits is really perfect. In addition to a set of teaching gitbooks for self-learning, there is also a step-by-step basic teaching by mentors, and then independent implementation of simple projects. Finally, the mentor’s code review makes us more clear when writing programs. How to improve its performance and legibility. Although there are many interns, there will be some people who are quick learners waiting for those who are a little slower, but this part will happen more or less, so I used this time to study the bottom part of their project structure and understand the whole The architecture of the system will also be of great help to me in making projects later on. For me, the report is probably what I learned the most here! After the project started, every two weeks, I had to report what I had completed, what functions I had done, why I did it, and how I could optimize it. In addition to training me to be able to present my results without nervousness to a group of unfamiliar people on stage, it also increased my ability to fully describe my ideas for the projects I produced. This part is a very important ability whether you will continue to study in graduate school or enter the workplace in the future.
