I grew up in Taiwan in a family with 5 boys and no girl. I was not studying hard until later part of the middle school years, because at that age I realized that my family will not be able to offer me to the college unless I got some financial helps in the form of scholarship provided in national (government-supported) universities. In order to get those scholarship, I ranked top three very often while attending the National Taipei Institute of Technology in Taiwan. After graduation, I went to military service as that is mandatory for every single healthy boy in Taiwan. After that I took a national exam and ranked second nationally in the mechanical engineering category and thus qualified as a government officer and worked for a couple years, earning money for graduate school. when time is right I took another national exam again and scored well so that I was admitted to the master degree program in the National Tsing Hua University, which is like MIT of Taiwan, in the Mechanical Engineering department with full scholarship. I graduated in 1989 ranked first in the class. After that I worked a bit again and then came to US for the PhD program and graduated in 1995 from the Aerospace Engineering Department of University of Texas at Arlington. Before graduation I took the "Engineer in Training" exam in Texas and scored 92/100. After that I found a job in the auto industry in Detroit area. After about 11 years I went to Rolls-Royce in the Indianapolis. I am pretty good at study and research thus had 30 papers published and reviewed more than 100 papers. I also got 4 patents. I retired from Rolls-Royce last December, and is now seeking a part-time job to earn some money since the unexpected pandemic damaged my retirement fund badly. I think tutoring job is interesting to me and fit my specialty pretty well. Maybe working with younger people can keep me younger.
