The Department of Industrial Engineering and Enterprise Information of Tunghai University has been actively pursuing academic cooperation with ASEAN countries. The department recently signed a master’s dual degree agreement with the Asian Institute of Technology (AIT) of Thailand in December 2016. Students fulfilling academic requirements of the two institutions and completing a graduation thesis will receive a dual Master of Engineering degree from both institutions.
The Asian Institute of Technology has been a partner institution of Tunghai since 2014. It was established by the Southeast Asia Treaty Organization (SEATO) in Bangkok in 1959 and has become a leading regional postgraduate institution in engineering. AIT currently has 2300 students from over 50 countries/territories; among these over 1000 are postgraduate students. The institution also works with public and private sector partners throughout the region as well as with some of the top universities in the world. AIT is especially reputable in its academic achievements in the areas of civil engineering, environmental science and information technology. It has cultivated many outstanding graduates who are making significant contributions to the development of the society. Notable former government officials in Taiwan such as Deputy Minister of Communications Mr. Shi-Chi Chen and Director of the RET-SER Engineering Agency Mr. Yuan-Yi Tseng were both AIT alumni. With the new dual degree agreement in place, Tunghai and AIT will create further cooperation in delivering quality engineering education to young people that will have better understanding of cultural diversities and academic experiences.
The dual degree agreement between Tunghai University and Asian Institute of Technology provides students from the graduate programs of Tungha’s Industrial Engineering and Enterprise Information and of AIT’ Industrial & Manufacturing Engineering with the opportunity to study and research one semester each year in each institution. First-year master student Yen-Ting Chen from Tunghai is the first student recommended to join this program. He will start his study at AIT in the spring semester of 2017. The two institutions look forward to a deeper collaborative relationship in incubating young talents that will make contributions to the society in the future.
