Student Paper Competition

Mission --

The cumulative advancements in various aspects of manufacturing with rapid exchanges of electronic data over widespread applications of information technologies are silently revolutionizing each and every industry, big or small, traditional or start-of-the-art high-tech. Yet fundamental problems still linger and get complicated with diversified new twists. In order to promote general awareness and raise the talent pool for the Semiconductor Industry in Taiwan, the Organizers have decided to hold a Student Paper Competition at e-Manufacturing Symposium 2007. By propagating such a proactive event in the student body, we hope to disseminate the new concepts and bring in innovative ideas into the entire value chains, so as to maintain our competitive edges in the manufacturing industries worldwide.
