The Department of Environmental Science and Engineering (EE Dept) has been improving its curricular design to enable students to not only graduate with professional knowledge and official certificates but also with practical experiences for career development. Since 2015, the department has been collaborating with Japan Daiei Kankyo Group, sending its graduates to the corporations for career opportunities. Because of the outstanding performances of the Tunghai graduates, the two parties signed a further collaboration agreement on February 10, 2017 to launch an institutional internship program. The intern students will work in Japan to learn about the latest waste-handling and resource-recycling technologies and expand their international perspectives.
The Daiei Kankyo Group has exceptional waste-handling facilities and resource-recycling technology
To understand the students’ work details and learning environment, Dean I-Kuan Yang of the College of Engineering led Chair Chiung-Fen Chang of the EE Dept and other professors to visit Daiei Kankyo Inc of the Daiei Kankyo Group and Energy Plaza Company of Mie Chuou Development Inc. They discussed the details of the internship program with the senior management, after which they toured the working environment. The entire internship program covers the complete waste-handling procedure: collecting, recycling, incineration, landfilling, resource-transforming, energy recycling, cyclic regeneration, monitoring and management, analysis and testing, and landfill reuse. In addition, the two parties also exchanged their knowledge about waste-handling, deepening understandings towards national differences in policies, environmental laws, and techniques. They have reached agreements on practical exchange, student education, and internship training, confirming the program being beneficial for the participating students.

The internship program will require students to complete certain elective courses in order to enhance their professional and fundamental knowledge. After the internship in Japan and after being evaluated by both the Japanese managers and professors of the department, the students will receive internship credits. The EE Dept is currently receiving applications.
The Japan Daiei Kankyo Group focuses on waste-handling business. It is the largest environment transformation engineering company in Japan. The group owns a variety of qualified waste-handling and regeneration facilities across Japan, with cutting-edge professional technology that can efficiently recycle and regenerate resources. It aims to accomplish the “zero waste” goal. Both parties believe that Daiei Kankyo Group will provide sufficient resources to ensure the program participants gaining practical experiences about state-of-the-art waste-handling and waste incineration.
