　　Following a comprehensive introduction, we had a guided tour to the Fluidized Residue Catalytic Cracking (FRCC) Unit. It was wonderful to find out that the guide, Mr. Lee Chia-Ru, is our alumnus who received BS from Chemical Engineering Department in 2002 and has been working for Taiwan CPC for 10 years. For every students and professors, it was an interesting experience in a beautiful afternoon.
