ASCE-TWIG Banquet

On Friday August 14, 2009, all of the winners from the last three years of the Annual ASCE-TWIG English Presentation Contest were invited to come to a dinner party held at the Cosmos Hotel near the Taipei Railroad Station. The program started with a semiformal social at 5:30 p.m. and the dinner served at 6:30 p.m. The highlight of the program featured a speech on “International Career Opportunities and Professional Development of Civil Engineers in Taiwan “ by an ASCE fellow, also the founding father of the group, Dr. Nelson Chou. It was well received and deemed valuable to all the participants. Special thanks go to the Sinotech Cooperation who sponsored the program. The current president of the group, Dr. Edward Wang plans to offer more interactive programs and professional seminars to benefit local ASCE members.
