These series of seminars and workshops have successfully promoted technology exchanges between the US and Taiwan, and mutually benefited members of the technical societies on both sides.

During the past decades, CIE/USA has grown into a 10000-member technical society includes six local chapters throughout the USA.
Based on the 40-year tradition of METS, CIE/USA is collaborating again with CIE/Taiwan this year to organize “METS 2008”. This program includes seminar sessions, and panel discussions. The overall goal is to facilitate interactions among scientists and engineers from US and Taiwan.
