繁 Yuan Ze University, SASTRA Deemed University, and Delta Electronics India Pvt. Ltd. have launched an international industry-academia talent cultivation program. The program was officially inaugurated today (September 18). This initiative selects 10 top-tier master's students from SASTRA University, specializing in areas such as artificial intelligence, robotics, and data science, to participate in a one-year intensive study at Yuan Ze University's College of Electrical and Communication Engineering. The program focuses on the practical implementation and application of intelligent automation technologies. Delta not only covers the students' expenses for traveling to Taiwan but also provides scholarships, internships, and potential job opportunities.
President of Yuan Ze University, Dr. Ching-Jong Liao, highlighted that this collaboration with Delta marks a significant milestone in the university's internationalization and practical education efforts. Yuan Ze University, with its strong foundation in science and technology due to its corporate-backed education model, aligns this talent cultivation program closely with industry needs. He emphasized that India represents a key potential market for international student recruitment, and through this partnership, Yuan Ze hopes to nurture more globally competitive talent.
Delta Electronics India President, Benjamin Lin, emphasized that as South India's manufacturing industry continues to grow, developing automation talent has become a critical factor for the success of "Make in India." Yuan Ze University has a strong track record in research and development and offers excellent Mandarin learning resources, while SASTRA University excels in engineering disciplines like AI and robotics. By combining Delta’s cutting-edge industrial robots, automation control systems, and AIoT (Artificial Intelligence and the Internet of Things) technologies, the internship program will provide students with hands-on training in smart automation. Lin expressed hope that upon graduation, the students will join Delta and use their expertise, along with their proficiency in English, Mandarin, and Tamil, to drive the automation processes at the Krisnagri facility, further enhancing Delta's competitiveness in the smart manufacturing sector.
Padama Priyaa, a scholarship recipient from SASTRA University, shared her excitement during the event, expressing her honor in being selected for this prestigious Delta program. As one of the first cohort members, she is determined to learn specialized skills, Mandarin, and familiarize herself with Delta’s corporate culture, hoping to contribute to Delta India after completing the program.
Yuan Ze University's Vice President for International Affairs, Dr. Yun-Chia Liang, noted that the international industry-academia program aims to develop future tech talent with a global perspective and professional expertise. The program offers diverse learning and practical opportunities, including corporate visits, internships, and research projects. Additionally, it emphasizes cross-border collaboration, corporate culture integration, and Mandarin language courses. As a global leader in power management and thermal solutions, Delta leverages its extensive industry experience and global resources to create a dynamic and forward-looking learning environment in partnership with Yuan Ze University, fostering a win-win-win scenario for the company, university, and students alike.
