The purpose of the 2024 Youth Talent Innovation Competition (YTIC) is to inspire young engineers to think about sustainable development through the lens of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. It aims to foster a mindset that transcends geographical limitations, cultivate the vision of the next generation of engineers, and provide an international platform to showcase creativity.
During the registration phase, YTIC received 39 entries from seven countries. Out of these entries, 25 teams successfully advanced to the conceptual stage, with projects spanning multiple fields such as architecture, civil engineering, physics, mechanical engineering, and chemistry.
Under the guidance of Distinguished Professor kuo-Lun Tung, students Sher Lin Lee, Yi-Jui Yeh, Po-Chun Wu, Lee-Lee Chang, and Joy Thomas presented their project titled "Magic (Membrane-assisted green irradiation Chemical)," which is dedicated to solving the issue of semiconductor wastewater reuse. Combining technology, engineering, and economics, their project impressed the judges and earned them the prestigious gold medal.
