CHU recently signed an industry-academia cooperation agreement with MSI, a global leader in gaming brands, to establish the "MSI Technology Micro-Program". This allows students to receive generous scholarships while taking specialized courses, with outstanding graduates having the opportunity for seamless employment at MSI. The program filled up rapidly upon launch, receiving enthusiastic responses from many students who hope to gain an early foothold in the tech industry and shine in their professional fields!

CHU President, Dr. Victor Liu, stated that MSI, as one of the world's leading gaming laptop brands, is very popular among students! He expressed gratitude for this cooperation with a renowned enterprise, especially thanking MSI founder and General Manager Chin-ching Huang for his strong support and generous scholarship provision, practically encouraging student learning. Dean of the College of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Chen-chang, Lien mentioned that through this micro-program, students will learn about industry operations while still in school. By engaging in team projects, they will gain valuable practical foundations, enabling seamless employment after graduation, achieving a win-win-win situation for businesses, schools, and students!

MSI Technology Management Center Deputy General Manager Wei-hsin Tsai stated that while they have cooperated with many universities before, this close and active establishment of a micro-program with CHU is a first. Tsai jokingly said that most students think working at MSI means wearing gaming-spirited uniforms and playing games, but in reality, the company wants to inject the gaming spirit into everyone's DNA. MSI differentiates itself from competitors with its quality advantage of all-in-one production in Taiwan. Besides expertise in hardware, software capabilities are also crucial in the AI era, which is the purpose of cooperating with CHU. They hope to cultivate more talents needed by the industry through deep collaboration with the school, creating a new milestone!

The "MSI Technology Micro-Program" includes courses in Linux software and firmware professional class and ARM-based hardware professional class, as well as MSI internship mechanisms. Freshmen to juniors focus on required professional courses, while seniors focus on practical projects. Outstanding students have the opportunity for immediate employment at MSI upon graduation! Hong-wei Zhao, a student from the Department of Information Engineering taking elective courses, said that being able to engage with the industry while in school, strengthen professional skills, plan career paths early, and accumulate solid capabilities closely aligns with his needs. He expressed gratitude to the school for this valuable and rare opportunity!
