Words of Advice to Junior Students:
In the era of the 21st century, declining birth rates and aging populations have led to the decline of the population dividend in developing countries. Automation and intelligence will undoubtedly experience rapid development in both manufacturing and service industries. The trade war between China and the United States, coupled with the impact of COVID-19, has disrupted global manufacturing supply chains, leading to a reintegration of the global supply chain. New manufacturing bases (in Southeast Asia, Taiwan, Europe, America, Japan, and South Korea) will inevitably embrace comprehensive system intelligence and smart automation in production. For the faculty and students of the Industrial and Systems Engineering Department at Chung Yuan University, it is essential to cultivate high-quality engineers and pioneers who can seize the opportunities in the future decade of industrial transformation and shine in the highly competitive international talent market.

Before entering the workforce, take the opportunity during university to develop and expand your circle of friends. You will soon realize the importance of networking, as individuals with strong connections usually don’t suffer too many losses. In the future, these connections can benefit both parties and mutually support each other. Even when encountering adversaries, understanding each other’s strengths and weaknesses will lead to victories in a hundred battles.

What lies ahead for IE graduates? The key to corporate management, from production processes and business processes to management decision-making processes, lies in “process.” Therefore, IE graduates can contribute value not only in production environments but also in organizational transformation and innovation. The primary focus is on reviewing and changing how managers obtain and use information, as well as designing and implementing changes in decision-making quality. The transformation of management is not only about frontline executives but is crucial for chairpersons and CEOs. Implementing changes is vital to see tangible results reflected in financial statements. This is undoubtedly a challenging job but also one that brings a great sense of accomplishment! Especially when you can turn a company from losses to profits or increase a company’s EPS from 3 to 5 within a year.

ding the root cause” is the principle I follow in studying product management and interpersonal communication to solve problems. If you carefully apply the essence of this principle in your work, you will bear beautiful fruits.
Each stage of life holds different meanings and challenges, and you will face various difficulties and setbacks. “Confidence” is the source of all abilities. Over the past forty years in this industry, I have witnessed the comings and goings of many peers, gaining insight into the successes and failures of each operator. “Confidence” brings enthusiasm and opportunities to work, and success arrives at critical moments. Interpersonal communication is a skill that needs constant honing throughout life. Recognize your own value, experience love and be loved in the workplace and at home, seek forgiveness in conflicts and disputes, and your journey in life will be filled with hope and anticipation!

Words of Advice to Junior Students:
I encourage you, younger students, to seize every opportunity to learn and accumulate as much work experience as possible in the shortest amount of time. Build your core competencies that are unique to you. After graduating, I have only served two companies. During my time at Delta Electronics, I not only learned various skills from different departments but also continued my studies on weekends, pushing myself to accumulate ten years of work experience within three years. This enabled me to quickly acquire management skills in production and manufacturing, which led to my successful entry into Garmin as a production line manager. Furthermore, I urge you to carefully consider job transitions and avoid frequent company changes.

Words of Advice to Junior Students:
Industrial engineering is a discipline that trains versatile individuals and provides professional training in various aspects of business operations. We can touch upon every aspect of “production, sales, people, and wealth,” making us qualified for the position of general manager. However, we also often joke that we’re “knowledgeable about everything, yet not specialized in anything,” so it’s crucial to improve our expertise.
During your time in school, I recommend treating yourself as a sponge and seizing opportunities to absorb knowledge continuously. Try to find your own interests. Once you enter the workforce, don’t be afraid of failure. Embrace challenges in different fields and work hard to accumulate your own experiences. You will become a highly sought-after star player in interdisciplinary domains, always ready to showcase your talents on the court.
