Planning the Best Experience for International Students

John Sivell

Planning the Best Experience for International Students Academics frequently derive their planning experience from work in the area of curriculum design. While this type of experience is certainly not irrelevant, it may still not be the best preparation for thinking about broader planning issues. I will propose a simple model for planning that indicates both particular thinking or theorizing aptitudes for each part of the process, and also particular forms of background preparation for each part. From there, my argument will consider:

1. the special demands that may be difficult to meet for specific parts of the process
2. the kinds of planning difficulties that may arise if there are deficiencies in meeting these demands
3. the ways in which a background in curriculum planning may in fact tend to lead towards certain deficiencies and resulting difficulties.

Especially as regards planning the best experience for international students – language support, residence options, scholarships and bursaries, extra-curricular activities, and so forth – the planning model can have a very important impact on the effectiveness of communication between this student group (and their advocates at a university) and the planning body.

Indeed, because planning can profitably begin with a clearly conceived statement of overall goals or core values, it is entirely possible that an effect planning model will be one significant way in which a commitment to quality international education may deeply influence not only an institution’s self-image but also its day-to-day ethos.

Before coming to Brock University in 1983, Dr. Sivell worked in a number of university, British Council, and other posts in Iran, Saudi Arabia, Morocco, and France. Since joining Brock University, his principal international activities have centered on Thailand where, among other things, he has been involved in a series of teacher-development workshops (with a Thai collaborator) chiefly at the secondary-school level, and in team-teaching at a Thai university.

Approaching Multiculturalism and Globalism: The Case of Language Studies in Taiwan

Chuen-min Huang

This presentation develops the idea that the developments of language issues in Taiwan are approaching to multiculturalism and globalism. Evidence from the findings of documentary reviews, instructional material analyses, and individual interviews indicates that the developments of language issues in Taiwan have been shifting from nationalism, and are approaching to multiculturalism and globalism. That is, from the pursuit of geo-political integration to an emphasis on sociocultural integration, from China-centered recognition to homeland cultural recognition, from language unity to authenticity confirmation, from Mandarin-only promotion to mother tongue teaching and first foreign language including at elementary school, from punishment for speaking non-Mandarin languages to open acceptance of them, and from monolingualism to multilingualism. Input for these changes have been accumulating, but even more efforts need to be undertaken.

Some catalytic factors for these improvements include (1) the rapid economic rise; (2) the growing democratization; (3) the ethnic revitalization; and (4) the debating of homeland literature. In the future, in addition to the previous-mentioned items 1-4, the need from the increasing international business and industry services and global literacy will stimulate significant growth for Taiwan in multicultural and international education. Several areas of particular need for approaching multiculturalism and globalism are (1) language policies and practices for culturally pluralistic societies; (2) educational equity and excellence for ethnic, racial, and linguistic minorities; (3) incorporating multiculturalism in business and industry program training; and (4) knowledge and skills needed for global citizenship in the 21^st century.

Keywords: nationism, nationalism, multilingualism, multiculturalism, and globalism.

Others: The current member of the National Association for Multicultural Education, U.S.A., and is going to edit a book about multicultural curriculum and instruction.

Excommunication and Multiculturalism: Taiwan as an Exile of the Global Community

Ling Chung

From January to October, 1998, four of the 30 allies have severed their formal diplomatic ties with the Republic of China. Cornered by Mainland China, Taiwan has become more and more isolated; in terms of formal diplomatic relations, Taiwan is almost an excommunicate of the global community. What has this predicament of isolation, excommunication, and silenced mutism affected the shaping of muticulturalism in Taiwan? To resist the “oppressor” – Mainland China-Taiwan has been emphasizing and constructing “indigenous” culture and renouncing almost anything cultural evidently related to Mainland China, even things related to historical China and Chinese cultural traditions. Since the overwhelming majority of the residents in Taiwan has migrated from Mainland China in the past four hundred years, their problem of dealing with the past can be analogous to cases of amputation.

Furthermore, it seems that Taiwan embraces Western cultural trens rether readily, avidly or even unscrupulously. Such examples include the transplants of literary theories from the West in the local academic world, teenagers’s imitation of their Western counterparts’ behaviors and life styles, and the thorough adoption of ther system’s of democratic election. This eagerness to embrace Western cultural trends might be due to that Taiwan’s subjectivity has undergone many experiences of mutilation and a strong sense of insecurity has urged these grasping acts of adoption. Taiwan’s struggle to deal with its traditional past and to build and indigenous self as well as its embraces of the Western cultural trends indicate how hard it strives to maintain the psychological equilibrium when its subjectivity has undergone isolation, excommunication and silencing.

The Discourse of Taiwan Aborigine Movements: The Evolving from Politics of Recognition to Politics of Nation Making

Mau-kuei Chang

I want to talk about the forming and the changing of various discourses of Taiwan aborigine movements. They would include the basic ideas arguments and action strategies for the pan-group name-rectification and reclaim-of-land actions early on, and returning to “tribalsim” in the middle, and the formation of “national council” in recent time. I think that there might have been a shift of emphasis from politics of recognition (in the context of multi-culturalism), to the politics of “nation” making (in the context of anti-colonialism). I wish to explore why is this change taking place? And to discuss what are the prospects for the movements.

Globalism and Design Collaboration

Yu-Tung Liu

In the last decade, we have witnessed changes in the patterns of communication and collaboration in architectural design activities. One of these changes is that it have become a more common practice to conduct an architectural design project which calls for experts from different geographical location in the world. For example, a project based on a site in Taiwan may include a design team in the United States, a structural coneultant in Germany and a material production supplier in Italy. This increasing global interaction points to one of the important directions in the current design practice and research. In addition, it is the advancement in modern computer technology and communication networks, such as internet and ISDN, that makes such global contacts among architecture practitioners feasible and affordable.

To respond to this new trend in architecture, in design education, several of the world-leading architecture departments have been collaborated on an international research project experimenting a new form of design studio-“ virtual design studio”. The architeoture group in the Graduate Institute of Applied Arts at National Chiao Tung University also represents Taiwan in this international research team. Other institutions involved include architecture departments at Harvard and MIT, Boston, Washington University, St. Louis, Cornell University, Ithaca, University of British Columbia, Canada, and University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong. The current results show that students from different school can discuss and exchange their ideas efficiently through the Web presentations and synchronized computer-mediated conferences. It seems that not only the patticipants, sense of place has been changing, but a design globalism is emerging.

Yu-Tung Liu is associate professor of architecture and director of the Graduate Institute of Applied Arts at National Chiao Tung University. He was visiting at Harvard in 1994 offering a graduate seminar on computer-aided design for both Harvard and MIT students. In addition to edited books and tens of journal and conference papers, he also published two books entitled Restructuring Shapes: Architecture, computation, cognition, and subshapes (in English), and Understanding Architecture in the Computer Era (in both complicated and simplified Chiness).

Asian Financial Crisis Reconsidered

Speaker: Dr. Norman Yin, Professor

National Chengchi University

Asian Financial Crisis Reconsidered

Norman Yin

Since May 1997, monetary crisis has swept through most of East Asia countries. Like extra strong earthquake, it shakes the foundation of every financial systems, tests the soundness and endurance of each financial institution. The shock wave sends to every corner of the world through the falling stock market. Among those countries been hit hard by Asia turmoil, Taiwan is the least effected one. The private sector started to accumulate its financial asset after 1980. Such development has led to significant changes in the financial structure, the expanded volume of financial transactions and changes in flow of fund patterns.

Taiwan stock market investment bubble burst out in 1990. Individual investors took the shocks with their old savings by shrinking their financial wealth. Moreover, Taiwan has less financial institution falling since there is a ceiling of 20 percent net worth of bank holding for listing stocks. Traditional financial firewall still exist in Taiwan, although some place has been worn thin. The involvement of securities holding of banks is limited in Taiwan. There is no fatal damage from the stock market falling in Taiwanese financial institutions as Korea or Japan.

The real estate market of Taiwan has never collapsed like Japan. By avoiding thebubble burst, the Central bank takes a hot air balloon strategy, i.e., whenever there is a tendency of big falling in the real estate market, they pump in more loans for first time house buyers to boost up the demand in order to keep the market floating in the air. The sole purpose is to led the household income catch up with the housing price. The strategy works quite well and the real estate market keeps alive , so far. The large non-performance mortgage loan has been bother Japan for years is not a serious problem in Taiwan. Besides, the regulations require that the risk exposure of real estate loans should be confined within the 20 percent limits of the time deposits plus bonds issued by bank. So even if the real estate market crashed, the circumstances of Taiwan will be less serious than Japan, Thailand, or even Hong Kong.

Taiwanese financial system does not follow Japanese main bank system. So, there is no banking keiretsu or chaebol in Taiwan. Unless it’s been approved by the authority, no direct industry investment is allowed for commercial banks. The strategic loan with favorable rate made by the bank does not guaranteed by the government that is still under bank’s own risk. In Taiwan, the ratio of non-performing loans in all financial institution stays around 7 percent recently. It is very high with the European standards, but comparatively lower than most East Asia neighbors. According to BIS report, loan loss coverage ratio (loan loss reserves/non-performing loans) of Taiwanese bank was 0.42 in 1994. It was falling behind most emerging economies. Since most loans have collateral coverage in Taiwan, low loan loss coverage ratio has not caused any bank insolvency yet. However, this question is not going to be ignored, especially when the financial institution is getting much more fragile that before.

There are still many weakness in the financial structures of Taiwan, yet, it improvesall the time. The authorities watch very carefully with everything going on in the financial market, trying to take right measures at the right time.

Recent Publication include “Financial Reform and Asia Turmoil: Taiwan Experience” in “Financial Sector Reform & Economics Development in Pacific and South East Asia” (Edward Elgar 1998), “Exchange Rate Policy & Shocks to Assets Market” (S.F.FRB Review,, Jan. 1992), “Financial Reform in Dynamic Asia Economies” (Geneva, Conference Proceeding 1991), and various papers & books on banking and financing in Chinese.

How Taiwan Copes with New Challenges

Chi Schive

The mid-1980s is a watershed in Taiwan’s modern-day development. Before the mid-1980s, the development of Taiwan was aimed at industrializing its economy. Since the mid-1980s, as the world has sailing into a great sea of changing circumstances, Taiwan has undergone, painfully yet fruitfully, a sooner-than-expected metamorphosis, toward full-fledged liberalization and internationalization.

Taiwan’s response to the changing environment could be summarized with the concept of the Asia-Pacific regional operations center (APROC), which did not become a clear vision until the early 1990s. In short, the APROC plan is a software infrastructure enhancement blueprint in essence, aiming at liberalization and globalization, which has a great bearing upon investment.

The East Asian financial crisis had aroused suspicion of the Asian miracle and the desirability of financial liberalization. Taiwan’s experience of liberalization and internationalization stands as a living proof that earlier, steady, persistent liberalization in proper sequence can enable an economy to weather crises. As the regional crisis unfolded, Taiwan learned where its real strength lies, which could contribute to the economic stability of the region.

Dr. Schive has contributed to many books and articles on the economic development of Taiwan and the region, especially in the areas of industrial and trade development, technology transfer, foreign direct investment, and regional economic integration. He is the author of The Foreign Factor: The Multinational’s Contribution to the Economic Modernization of the Republic of China (Hoover Institution Press, 1990), Taiwan’s Economic Role in East Asia (The Center for Strategic and International Studies, 1995).

The Canadian Financial Reforms

Philip C. Chang

In response to the changing economic environment and technology, Canada undertook a series of financial reforms during 1987-1992, which culminated in the revisions to four acts governing the financial industry. As a result, the Canadian financial system can no longer be characterized by four distinct "pillars" of financial institutions, i.e. banks, insurance companies, investment dealers, and trust companies. Instead, Canadian financial institutions have since been able to provide most kinds of services directly or indirectly. A Canadian style of universal banking has emerged. The reforms are ongoing and further restructuring is to take place. The objective of the presentation is to describe and analyze the reforms of Canadian financial institutions. Section one is a review of the background and changes in the last round of reforms. Section two analyzes the current status of the financial industry and issues remained to be addressed. Section three is a discussion of lessons and implications of the reforms. Section four concludes the presentation.

The Flow of Labor between Taiwan and China

Joseph S, Lee

The economic relationship between Taiwan and Mainland China continued to be a mixture of cooperation and tension (tension more than cooperation). The October 14-19 1998 “Ice-melting trip” made by Koo Chen-fu has generated great publicity in Taiwan and around the world but produced few concrete results. However, maintaining a good economic relationship is important for both economies.

When discussing regional development between Taiwan and Mainland China scholars usually concentrate their discussion on trade and investment. However, the integration of Taiwan and Mainland China’s economies does not limit to the product and the financial markets, it is occurring in the labor area as well. Observers of China and Taiwan relationship often think there could be no flow of labor between Taiwan and China since Taiwan government prohibits the importation of labor from Mainland China. The mater of fact is that there is a flow of large number of professional and managerial workers from Taiwan to Mainland China and low-skilled workers from Mainland China to Taiwan. Anyone who goes to a restaurant in Taipei has no difficulty in finding at least one mainland China kitchen helper there and anyone who goes to the south has no difficulty in finding one or two mainland China workers in small factories there, although most of them are illegal immigrants.

How many Taiwanese professionals and managerial workers are in Mainland and how many Mainland China workers are in Taiwan? Why do Taiwanese firms send so many expatriates to Mainland China, more than any other countries do? Do firms send more expatriates to China make more profit? Why do Japanese firms send so few expatriates to subsidiaries in Mainland China but so many to subsidiaries in Taiwan? These are interesting and important question not only to Taiwanese scholars and policy makers but to Canadian scholars as well. Because Canada also has a large amount of FDI in China and inside of Canada there is a large number of low-skilled workers from Mainland China also. Thus it would be useful for Taiwanese and Canadian scholars to share their views and experience on these topics at this meeting. More information on these topics will be provided at the meeting.

Professor Lee’s major research interest is in labor relations and human resources. He has published several books and many articles including, Labor Standards and Economic Development, Changing of Employment Relations in Asian Countries, and The Emergence of the South China Growth Triangle, Capital and labor Mobility in Taiwan. Professor Lee also serves on the board of several international organizations and advisor of government agencies, including the Executive Council of International Industrial Relations Association, Council of Labor Affairs, Republic of China, and Chinese Economic Association.

Economic Interaction Between Taiwan and China

Lee-in Chen Chiu

There has been rapid growth in Taiwanese investment going to mainland china in the last decade. By the end of 1997, 38,485 contracted projects worth, US$ 38.172 billion were undertaken in mainland China. By investment volume, the top five industries (namely, electronics, food processing, basic metalurgy, petrochemicals, precision instruments) took a 51.5% share; meanwhile, the top five investment areas (namely, Guangdong, Jiangsu, Fujian, Hebei, and Zhejiang) absorbed a 89.3% share. Location preference for investment in mainland China is obviously strong.

This is an empirical study on the determinants of input-output efficiency according to various economic characteristics. Various dummy variables, including region, enterprise scale, ownership, administrative relationship and industry, were established to examine the reasons behind Taiwanese investors' location preferences. A set of 320 thousand mainland Chinese enterprises from the village level and above, of a combined yearly revenue of over one million RMB$ were used in the regression analysis. Efficient regions are highly correlated with Taiwanese investors' preferred regions.

As to the effects of other economic characteristics, this research shows different levels of economic reform in different sectors. Interestingly, the regressions of eleven industrial dummy variables prove the legitimacy of the "go slow, be patient" mainland China investment policy as proposed by the R.O.C. government.

Dr. Chiu Chen has been a Research Fellow in the Mainland China Division, Chung-Hua Institution for Economic Research (CIER), since 1992. She earned her Ph.D. from the University of Pennsylvania (UP) in Philadelphia in 1988 and became an Associate Research Fellow in CIER immediately after. Dr. Chiu Chen's first professional position was as a planner (at the M. S. level) in charge of economic analysis and comprehensive planning in the Taipei Municipal Government (TMG) from 1980-84. Among her many academic honors, Mrs. Chiu (popularly known as Dr. Chen in Taiwan) was awarded First Prize in a research report competition for employees of TMG, R.O.C., in 1983; a Dissertation Fellowship by the Mellon Foundation, for the Program for Assessing and Revitalizing Social Sciences (academic year 1986-87) at UP; and a Senior Fulbright-Hay scholarship and Postdoctoral Fellowship in Chinese Studies, granted by the Institute of East Asian Studies, University of California at Berkeley, U.S.A., in 1993-94. Her recent publications include "An Assessment of Taiwan's Indirect Investment Toward Mainland China" (Asian Economic Journal, 7:1, 1993); "The Pattern and Impact of Taiwan's Investment in Mainland China" (in a book published by M.E. Sharpe, 1995); Breaking Through the Taiwan Strait: Regional Analysis on China's Industries (in Chinese), Beijing: Economic Management Publisher Co., 1996; and Evaluating Science-Tech Cooperation and the Technology Trade between Taiwan and China (in Chinese), Taipei: CIER, forthcoming.

Technology Development for Deep Submicron Devices

Tan Fu Lei

Technology of devices becomes more and more stringent than ever before as the devices size scales down to the deep-submicron era. The changing of the technology shows a higher pace than that of 1994 SIA predicted. The new 1997 SIA roadmap projected that the 0.18m technology will be coming in 1999 instead of 2002. The requirements of nowadays CMOS and CMOS related processes have to do with cost reduction, higher performance and more functionality. In this paper, advanced technology for the deep-submicron devices will be addressed. The related modules of the deep-submicron device are nitrided ultra-thin gate oxide growth, shallow-trench-isolation(STI), gate engineering of the dual-gate CMOS, and the polysilicon oxide grown on polished polysilicon film, In the nitrided ultra-thin gate oxide technique, nitrided oxide has been shown as the main gate dielectric for the 0.25m generation and beyond. A low-temperature two-stepannealing process is proposed to reduce electron trapping of gate oxide and suppress the reverse short-channel-effect(RSCE). Recently, Chemical-mechanic-polishing(CMP) process becomes the main stream for planarization for shallow-trench-isolation. However, oxide-filled STI polishing based on the CMP processes is difficult to control and results in poor uniformity and noticeable dishing-effect, A novel STI technique will be presented. It is found that both uniformity and dishing-effect can be improved simultaneously by using proposed novel STI technique. It is well know that dual-gate CMOS, which replaces the conventional single-gate CMOS, will be the main structure for the 0.25m generation and beyond to reduce the short channel effect. However, the serious boron penetration, resulting from the high diffusivity of born in the high temperature, causes reliability problem of the device. A lot of methods are proposed to alleviate this problem. They are stacked-gate-structure, nitrided-gate and gate dielectric withnitrogen incorporation, and using Si-B as the suppress the boron penetration. For the polysilicon oxide, a novel method to grow the oxide on the polished polysilicon film was proposed. It is found that the integrity of the poly oxide was improved due to a flat interface after the CMP polishing.

Recent Research R&D Result in NDL

Chao, Tien-Sheng

Taiwan has become the world's fourth largest IC maker. Besides capital investment, a major factor in this industry's success has been availability of highly skilled manpower. By giving university and college students a chance to participate in the development of a mew generation of key technologies, the NSC's National Nano Device Laboratory (NDL) is helping nurture the future's outstanding R&D workers. The NDL's research achievements in 1997 included 74 academic papers published in prestigious scientific journal, 58 research papers issued at international conferences, and 15 patent applications. This paper will give a summary of some of the key modular technologies recently developed at the NDL. They are (10 ultra-thin oxide preparation, plasma damage, and ultra-clean technology, (2) self-aligned T_shaped gates, (3) low-D materials, (4) chemical-mechanical polishing techniques.

Dr Chiao was born in Penghu, Taiwan, in 1963. He received the Ph.D. degree in electronics engineering from National Chiao-Tung university, HsinChu, Taiwan, R.O.C. in 1992. He joined th National Nano Device Laboratories (NDL) as a Associate researcher in July 1992, and became as a researcher in 1996. He was engaged in developing the thin dielectrics preparations and cleaning processes. He is presently responsible for the deep submicro device integration at NDL.

Microelectronic Technologies For Wireless Applications

Wai-Tung NG

This paper introduces the concept of modular process recipes that can be used to enhance the flexi-bility and performance of standard CMOS and BiCMOS processes. This approach represents a departure from the traditional strategy of continuing to shrink device dimensions. As we are approaching the resolution limit of conventional photolithography, this method also become much more cost effective. A case study on a BiCMOS compatible RF bipolar transistor is presented to demonstrate its benefit to wireless telecommunications systems.

Challenges in Higher Education on Wireless Communications

Song-Tsuen Peng

The basic mission of higher education is to teach state-of –the-art knowledge and to provide vision for the future. In the field of electrical engineering, wireless communications have evidently become an area of great interest to both academia and industry. Therefore, it is very timely and fitting for the Canada-Taiwan Higher Education Conference to devote a session to this important area, to assess challenges and to explore opportunities ahead of us.

Wireless communications utilize the open space as the transmission medium; this has the advantage of signals reaching out to the mass population, but the survivability of the signals in our complex environment in a technical challenge. The wireless technology afford mobility and coverage of communication on the local as well as global scale, and what already in sight in the development of personal communication systems which will enable people to communicate from anywhere at anytime with any one at anywhere. To accomplish this, another technical challenge is to develop products that are small and light enough to fit in a pocket, with enough computer processing power to perform many of the tasks available in a laptop.

Evidently, the success of wireless communication requires an integrated effort of microelectronics, information and communication technologies, and this presents a challenge to teaching and research programs in higher education. In the session, the current status of wireless communications will be received and the exchange of idea will be encouraged, with the goal of identifying important areas of research to meet both educational and industrial needs.
