Vietnamese FPT University Delegation Visits Asia University
Asia University Partners with Vietnam’s FPT University
Over 100 Students Visit Taiwan for Semiconductor & AI Training
【Taichung, Taiwan】 Asia University and Vietnam’s FPT University have begun close collaboration this year. Following the signing of agreements for joint talent cultivation programs in Semiconductor Design, Smart Manufacturing, and an AI cooperation memorandum, over a hundred students visited Asia University from October 16 to 18.
SPIL Visit & The "Tea Egg" Surprise
Led by FPT representatives including Jimmy Ngoc Le, the delegation mainly comprised students from semiconductor-related programs. On the morning of October 17, they visited Taiwan’s leading semiconductor packaging and testing company, SPIL, to learn about Taiwan’s semiconductor technology.
Fun Fact The Convenience Store Experience
Besides being impressed by the production processes, the students were particularly intrigued by convenience stores. Their favorite snack was tea eggs — something unavailable in Vietnam!
In the afternoon, the FPT delegation returned to Wufeng to quickly explore Asia University’s facilities, including the affiliated hospital and the Modern Art Museum. Students were impressed and commented, “The learning environment here is fantastic!”
President Tsai: "AI Good!" – Expanding Partnership
President Jin-Fa Tsai and faculty welcomed the Vietnamese visitors. Many students proactively shared their interest in AI-related programs, and President Tsai encouraged them, saying, “AI good!” and invited them to consider studying at Asia University.
During his welcome speech, President Tsai expressed delight at the multiple close exchanges with FPT University in less than a year. He noted that Vietnamese students at Asia University have performed exceptionally well.
"Expanding partnerships across semiconductor, CS, business, and AI programs marks a new milestone. Moving forward, exchanges will include student mobility, faculty interactions, and joint research to cultivate professionals aligned with current AI trends."
— Dr. Jin-Fa Tsai, President of Asia University
Immersive Tech Experiences & Cultural Exchange
Due to the large number of visiting students, activities were conducted in groups to rotate through various centers:
- ● Semiconductor Center: Students were fascinated by diamond-cut wafer displays and wearing full cleanroom suits.
- ● Virtual Studio: They enjoyed experiences like riding a virtual roller coaster and climbing skyscrapers.
- ● AI & Rehab: Controlling games with hands using rehabilitation devices for lower-body paralysis was a fun and engaging experience.
In the evening, a welcome dinner was held outside the College of Management. The Aboriginal Dance Club performed a welcoming dance, and Vietnamese students joined in, showcasing youthful enthusiasm and bridging cultural differences.
