Meanwhile, the practice school and international forum have enriched the sense of looking beyond my own disciplines and working with diverse perspectives to create real-world solutions. Moreover, the invaluable collaborating experience and connections with TAC-MI faculties, students, industrial and international mentors, which would be precious support for previous TAC-MI journey and future life.
