Taiwan Student (Alan)

Dear Prof. Mukhopadhyay,


This is Alan Lu, a student in Taiwan, known you since the 2006 DSP competition of Southern Taiwan University of Technology on 21 Nov.


Today, I am so pleasure that to listen your presentation, it is really a interesting topic as I know, because I have been visit the MIT OCW (OpenCourse Wave), and saw something like you did. After I told you about this, you said that many colleges copy from MIT's idea. That I cannot agree you anymore, MIT is always be a benchmark in academic field. I used to visit the OCW site for looking something interesting,
or choosing a course for learning.

This below URL is the course named "Autonomous Robot Design Competition",

In the video page, you can download some demonstration video, they used the LEGO, hope it can help you know what MIT did, and could be a good reference for you.


Tell you a fun thing, that my friends knew that you invite me to attend the conference, because now I am fourth grade, so they suggest me to visit New Zealand at next year by this opportunity, and live in your house and have the Christmas Day in your hometown. I know New Zealand a beautiful country, even like a wonderland, many Taiwanese like take a trip in your country. But I am not sure I can be there in that time, because in that time I am graduated.

BTW, I am a under graduate student, fourth grade, major in embedded Linux system, I like to hacking the Linux system and programming in C language.

Today, it is really a good day to know you, it is my pleasure, thanks for you came to our school, and hope you can like our country.
