On October 16th, President Wang Sea-fue, Vice President Thomas C.K. Yang, and Dean of Research and Development Office Chuang Ho-chiao, visited The Pennsylvania State University (Penn State), to discuss joint research cooperation and talent cultivation in the fields of energy and semiconductor. During this visit, Neeli Bendapudi, President of Penn State, and Wang also signed MOUs on computer science & information engineering, and interaction design dual degree programs. 

While in Penn State, Taipei Tech delegation paid a visit to Penn State’ pivotal research institutes such as the Three-Dimensional Ferroelectric Microelectronics and Materials Research Institute. 

Wang mentioned that he himself as an alumnus of both Penn State and Taipei Tech, has been actively building a bridge of mutual collaborations for years. “Taipei Tech and Penn State will continue to offer various dual degree programs, and provide fundings to support faculty’s joint research projects,” said Wang. 

National Science Foundation (NSF) has funded both universities to implement student exchange program. 16 graduate students from Penn State will come to Taipei Tech to learn the skills needed to develop next-generation displays, and to participate in an internship program at one of the world-renowned panel manufacturers in Taiwan, AU Optronics (AUO).
