TAIPEI – Universitas Indonesia Engineering Faculty Computer engineering undergraduate students do an intern in one of the Asian Tiger country which is Taiwan. They do an intern in one of the top university called National Taiwan University Science & Technology (NTUST) Broadband Mobile Wireless Laboratory.
These undergraduate students from Indonesia got a chance to do this intern in NTUST university because of a program called Taiwan Experience Education Program (TEEP).

These undergraduate students got so many experience and knowledge that they got from the intern in NTUST. Each of these undergraduate students have their own topic and project that they must do during the intern. Many kinds of topic that is being done by the students has connection to Computer Engineering knowledge such as NB-IOT, 5G Architecture, Open Air Interface, Powder, etc. For each topic that is being done the students is being helped by mentor or the local students also working on the project.
For each day during the intern, these students are working on the same room with local students and other intern students.
