How does Taiwan touch my heart? Seems a simple enough question, but just to answer that question in a simple word or a sentence just wouldn't be enough.
Ever since I was a little girl I dreamed of traveling, and yes that is a dream that I believe is wished by everyone, well for me it was not as easy to chase after.
I have always been attracted to the Asian Culture; I always wanted to meet this side of the world because for me it is the most dynamic continent and represents endless opportunities. When I heard about this program and having the chance to come to Taiwan I was beyond thrilled. I applied as soon as possible and now I am here.
It's been six months since my arrival on Isla Formosa and there has not been a day where I regret coming here; I've been happy with my study program and I love the fact that there is always someone or someplace new to meet.
Taiwan touches my heart in many ways, both professionally and socially. The people in Taiwan are always very kind and willing to help you, even though we have a big language barrier, they still find a way to help however they can.
Taiwan represents a unique vision of how I would like my country to eventually develop into. It is almost hard to believe in how organized Taiwan is. Little details such as standing on the right side of the escalator at the MRT station to let the others passengers pass if they're more in a hurry than you are. Details which may seem completely logical and normal to this country, could make a big difference in mine. Everything is so organized and clean. I often tell my friends from back home that it is unbelievable the amount of people on this small island and how organized they are; my country may be bigger but it lacks this coordination.
There is also little crime here, I love that, and you can just walk around and not be worried about being assaulted. In my case, like many other foreigners, I have the freedom to take out my cell phone to look for an address, to me, this is a luxury that I sadly cannot have back home.
I have also met so many people here; Taiwan is a place where many cultures come together. I have met people from all over the world and I've had some very unique experiences. One of my recent experiences is the Hindu Holi Festival which was a completely new experience for me, I met incredible people from India, hung out with friends from all over the world and I also met Taiwanese people that were just as happy as I was to participate in this event. It is always very lovely to meet Taiwanese people embracing all other cultures also.
I love that Taiwan makes the most out of everything they have to offer, they take nothing for granted. I recently visited Miaoli, a place where they have strawberry farms, it was so beautiful to me because I had never seen a strawberry farm and besides going I also had the pleasure of picking and cutting the strawberry's to enjoy for myself! After that you can just go into town and enjoy lots of foods, snacks and drinks all strawberry based.
It really touches my heart how Taiwan is so proud of everything they have whether it's a pottery museum or an eagle shaped rock on top of a mountain, they make the most out of it. It is something I would like my own country to embrace because, like Taiwan, we have many beautiful things.
Taiwan has touched my heart; showing me a side of them that I didn't know could be so excitedly beautiful and that is permanently going to change the way that I see my life, my country and the world.
1+1大於二的選擇 
俗話說:「只要你想像得到，你就能做到；只要你能夢見，你就能實現。」
很慶幸我當初選擇了元智工管系，我需要的是一個可以讓我持續進步的地方，不管是在專業知識、人際關係和面對困難的態度等等，在這裡的四年，我覺得自己成長了很多，這裡除了有優秀的師資、豐富的資源還有溫暖的歸屬感。
企業最愛的元智大學，3月26日展開校園徵才博覽會，以「全球流通」為主軸，結合大桃園周邊大學一起合辦。總共有近百家企業參加，提供高達3000個職缺，其中提供予工管人才的職缺更是多元。 
工業工程與管理學系為配合元智大學25週年校慶活動，並增進系友情誼、提昇師生間互動與情感交流，特於三月十五日假元智大學多媒體研討室(R2623)舉辦工管系系友會。鄭春生主任撥冗蒞臨會場，系友會理事長張啟昌博士、系上傑出系友王彥堯先生及多位系友均出席此活動盛會。活動在主任介紹工管系近期發展與成果中揭開序幕，系友們深刻感受到系所的成長與兌變，主任亦期許在招生工作日益維艱的過程中，業界系友能廣為母系宣傳，發揮渲染力，提供實習、就業員額並鼓勵同事在職進修，為凝聚工管人向心力，本系亦將定期邀請傑出系友們蒞校與學弟妹傳承學習經驗並分享工管系之未來就業發展。
這次採訪的系友是本系工管系第二屆畢業的賴嘉漢學長。嘉漢學長回憶從大二開始就參考當時產業界對工業工程師的資歷需求，進而規劃往後相關課程選擇，為日後就業做好充分的準備，提醒學弟妹們可以為了日後就業而提早進行準備。嘉漢學長除了必修課以外，興趣比較偏企管方面，因為知道學校教學資源非常完善，故選修過行銷學，心理學，成本會計，投資學，暑期實習還待過遠紡和東元電機。大三時還曾跑到中原去修一位華航副總開的人力資源管理課程。建議同學要多加利用學校的教學資源。
我是Cindy Sutanto，有個中文名字叫陳幸妮。我來台灣念書。我是碩士研究生一年級， 在工業工程與管理系。現在是我第二個學期，我在台灣差不多8月了。台灣真很有興趣，人們很好，食物很好吃，很乾淨也很安全。搭公車，搭火車什麼都很方便。 國立故宮博物院是我非常喜歡的地方。我去過兩次了。第一次是去年，然後今年早些的時候也去。我跟朋友一起去。我們都是外籍生從不一樣的國家，有蒙古人，宏都拉斯人，瓜地馬拉人，尼加拉瓜人。 大部分是我同學，其他的是學哥跟學姐。
