MMEETTSS 22000088 ((NNoovveemmbbeerr 1177--1199 TTaaiippeeii,, TTaaiiwwaann)) 22th Modern Engineering and Technology Seminars (METS) was held in NTUH International Conference Center, Taipei from 11/17 to 11/19/2008. This bi-annual international conference was co-sponsored by CIE/USA and CIE/ROC and has gone through its 42 years history. In the past four decades, it played a major role in the transformation of Taiwan from an agriculture society to a highly industrialized society. To meet Taiwan’s future challenge of perpetual growth, how to create a humanized society in a digital era and development of energy and communication technologies in a high oil price era are two main topics in Taiwan. To address these challenges, the theme of this year’s METS is defined as “2015 Taiwan Innovation Outlook”. Five sessions with forward looking subtopics are proposed. They are: 1. Clean Energy Technologies for Low Carbon Society 2. Transportation faces High Oil Price Challenges 3. Innovative Information and Communication Technologies for Integration) 4. Entertainment & Educational Technologies with Internet World 5. Humanized Security Technologies for Community Safety and Wellbeing
22nd METS US committee include: Chairman, Dr. Barry Lin (SFB Chapter), Vice Chairman, Mr. Thomas Wu (DFW Chapter), Administrator, Dr. Jiin Chen (Seattle Chapter), Executive Secretary, Dr. Yung-sung Cheng (New Mexico Chapter), Advisor, Dr. David Fong (SFB Chapter), and Advisor, Dr. Tim Chen (GNY Chapter) ROC committee include: Dr. Y. C. Chiang (CIE/ROC President), Mr. Y. S. Shih (Vice Minister, Economic Affairs), Mr. Y. S. Ho (Vice Minister, Transportation & Communications), Dr. R. C.

Oversea Chinese Environmental Engineers and Scientists Association (OCEESA)
1. Board of Directors Meeting An OCEESA Board of Directors Meeting was held on October 8, 2008 at Los Angeles (Figure 2). The meeting reviewed the state of the association and formulated the following development strategy and action plans: A. Development Strategy
a) To further enhance our reputation by perform volunteering work using our expertise and professional experience.
b) To make connections with government agencies and other professional organizations and work with them in the areas of public education and outreach activities.
c) To use our unique strengths (mandarin language and our wide spectrum of environmental knowledge and practical experience) for active participating environmental related projects and activities, either in China or Taiwan.
B. Action plans a) OCEESA will work closely with West Virginia University in an on-going air and water
pollution control project in Mainland China. These projects are supported by USAID. And OCEESA Director Wei-Ping Pan is a co-principal investigator.
b) OCEESA will contact Southern California Chinese American Environmental Protection Association regarding sharing of members contact information for the purpose of creating a wider notification network

2. 12th Mainland–Taiwan Environmental Protection Conference (MTEPC)
The 12th Mainland Taiwan Environmental Protection Conference (MTEPC) was successfully held during the week of October 20-26, 2008 in Kaohiung, Taiwan, ROC. The conference was organized jointly by National Kaohsiung First University of Science and Technology (NKFUST), Harbin Institute of
Technology (HIT), and Overseas Chinese Environmental Engineers and Scientists Association (OCEESA). The 12th MTEPC was attended by 246 environmental protection scientists and professionals – 65 were from Mainland China, 170 from Taiwan, and 11 from OCEESA. A total of 338 papers were presented at the conference – 171 Taiwan, 155 by Mainland China, and 12 by OCEESA. Dr. Wei-Yin Cheng, Vice President of OCEESA delivered a keynote speech at the opening ceremony, entitled Climate Change – Causes, Effects and Solutions. Dr. David Shaw and Pao-Chinag Yuan of OCEESA served as moderators at two round table panels. Other OCEESA participants served as technical session chairs and other duties.
Figure 1 Group photo of 12th MTEPC participants OCEES was instrumental in organizing the first MTEPC in 1992 which was held at Tongji University in Shanghai. The second MTEPC was held in 1994 at National Taiwan University in Taipei. Since then, MTEPC has been held alternately in Mainland and Taiwan and is recognized as the first and the most successful across-the-strait conferences. As the relation between Mainland and Taiwan is improving, many across-the-strait conferences were organized without the help of overseas Chinese. However, all three parties of MTEPC are making efforts to make OCEESA an integral and mutually-beneficial component of the future of MTEPC.
