UNAIR NEWS \u2013<\/strong> Sharon Audrey Evangeline, an Environmental Engineering student at 51动漫<\/a> (UNAIR), is currently interning in Taiwan through the Taiwan Experience Education Program (TEEP). For three months, she will engage in microplastic research at the Department of Environmental Engineering, Chung Yuan Christian University (CYCU). The internship aligns with her goal of pursuing a master\u2019s degree abroad.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cMy motivation for joining this internship was to experience life here firsthand before committing to graduate school. It\u2019s also a great opportunity to expand my knowledge and gain practical research experience in environmental science,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n

Evangeline first learned about CYCU through a previous collaboration between the university and UNAIR. She later discovered that UNAIR students are eligible for master\u2019s scholarships at CYCU, which further motivated her to apply. <\/p>\n\n

Focus on microplastic research<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n

Evangeline considers microplastic pollution a complex issue that demands deeper study. Taiwan, known for its advanced environmental technologies, offered the perfect setting for her research. \u201cI thought this would be the ideal place to learn new methods using more advanced technology,\u201d she explained.<\/p>\n

Her research focuses on measuring microplastic particles in air samples. Specifically, she investigates whether the concentration of airborne microplastics changes during typhoon events in Taiwan. \u201cThe research looks at how much microplastic is present in air samples and whether typhoons influence those levels,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n\n

Evangeline has found the academic atmosphere in Taiwan both welcoming and intellectually stimulating. Professors have provided continuous support, and she has taken the opportunity to immerse herself in Taiwanese language and culture. The internship has also allowed her to connect with a diverse group of international students.<\/p>\n\n

She noted that students are granted 24-hour access to the research labs, including weekends. \u201cWe\u2019re free to conduct research at any time, even on weekends. Of course, this comes with a strong expectation of personal responsibility for the work we do,\u201d Evangeline said.<\/p>\n\n

Gaining life skills abroad<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n

\u201cOne of the most valuable takeaways from this experience has been learning how to adapt and become more independent,\u201d she reflected. \u201cYou need to be self-aware, polite, flexible, and respectful of the rules in a different country. It also taught me how to manage finances responsibly with the monthly stipend.\u201d<\/p>\n\n

Another challenge has been the language barrier, as many locals do not speak English fluently. This has pushed Evangeline to use Mandarin when interacting with the community.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cJust try it. You\u2019ll never feel fully ready if you keep waiting. If we\u2019re always afraid, we won\u2019t grow. We need challenges that push us out of our comfort zones,\u201d she concluded.<\/p>\n\n
