本日生工實習專題演講我們邀請到三久公司，三久公司重視企業社會責任，希望讓國人都能吃到安全、健康、衛生、好吃的米，本日的講者許游鑲經理、楊昌翰區域經理分別為我們介紹了農業、米廠的經營之道以及分享了職場上的實用經驗。
首先，許游鑲經理講述了傳統農業面臨的困境。農民需要靠天吃飯，只要遇到下雨天，收割後的稻穀就無法立即曬乾，因此穀物乾燥機就佔有很重要的地位。而柴油、天然氣為動力的乾燥機不僅對環境有很大的傷害，且成本也不低。為此，三久公司研發出利用粗糠取代燃油的乾燥機。碾米後產生的粗糠作為乾燥機的燃料，燃燒後產生的灰燼又再度成為田中的肥料，符合循環經濟的理念、降低碳排放量，此產品獲得國內外客戶良好的迴響。有趣的是許經理也分享了在日本與韓國市場的銷售經驗，日本人對產品品質的高度要求以及韓國對國產產品強力的支持，使得在日韓競爭的困難度大幅提升，成功打入這兩國的市場是海外銷售相當重要的指標。
而系友楊昌翰區域經理分享了他的職涯過程。他提到在選擇職場需要考慮的三大要素：興趣、優勢、專長。最重要的是在三久公司中，他成功的應用生機系所學，結合多學科、跨領域的能力，以及本身母語為印尼語的優勢，實際應用到職場上，服務海外客戶，為同學們帶來相當棒的啟發。

It’s very pleased that we invited manager Yu-Hsiang Hsu and local manager Chang-Han Yang from SUNCUE to share about the managing strategies of the rice factory and their working experience in SUNCUE.
In the aspect of the rice production chain, manager Hsu depicted the challenges that traditional agriculture may confront. Among all, weather is one of the dominating factors. In Taiwan, the humid weather makes it hard to dry the crops just harvested. Thus the grain dryers are crucial in agriculture to prevent the crops from deterioration. But typically the grain dryers are driven by diesel fuels and LPG, which both produce lots of pollutants and are harmful to the environment. Besides, they are also costy. To solve this problem, SUNCUE developed the dryers using bran, the outer layer of paddy, to drive. It not only saves energy, but also successfully reuses the waste materials. What’s more, the ash of the burned bran becomes fertilizers. This meets the concept of the cycling economy, and lowers carbon emissions. This product has received plenty of positive feedback from clients all over the world. Manager Hsu also shared their experience entering the Japanese and Korean markets. The former because of being highly demanding on the most high-quality products and services, and the latter because its focus on self-consumption, policies that exclude most of the foreign competition.
Local manager, Yang, is an alumni of our department. He received his bachelor and master degree in BME and graduated in 2017. He mentioned three key elements that we should take consideration of when choosing our jobs, including interests, strengths, and specialties. He’s glad that he can apply what he learned in BME and integrate the knowledge from different domains in his career. Also, his mother tongue is Indonesian, which makes him stand up from the crowds when talking about supporting clients in Indonesia. His experience is very inspiring to us.
