TAIPEI, March 24, 2022- CTCI is pleased to announce that Michael Yang, CTCI Group Vice Chairman, has been named as recipient of “Distinguished Alumnus of National Taiwan University of Science and Technology (also known as Taiwan Tech)” and “Distinguished Alumnus of Taiwan Tech’s School of Management” for his extraordinary contribution to the industry and academia. President of Taiwan Tech Jia-Yush Yen personally handed the awards to Yang during the ceremony which took place on March 19, the day of Taiwan Tech’s school anniversary. 

Distinguished Alumnus Awards recipients are determined by an ad hoc committee, which looks at the professional or career achievements of the nominees and their contribution to the alma mater or society. 

During his career at CTCI, Yang played key role in helping the Group ascending to no.1 in Taiwan and top 100 worldwide. He also made tremendous effort in the cultivation of talents by serving as a director at the board of CTCI Education Foundation and as the dean of CTCI University. He brought industry and academia closer together by pushing for various programs in fields such as civil engineering, architecture, electrical engineering, and HSE (health, safety, and environment) that saw close collaboration between CTCI and Taiwan Tech, benefitting students, school, and company alike.

In his award acceptance speech, Yang spoke about CTCI Group’s other achievements, including being selected as component of Dow Jones Sustainability Emerging Market indices for the seventh year; as recipient of CommonWealth Magazine’s Excellence in Corporate Social Responsibility Award; and as recipient of Top 10 Domestic Companies Sustainability Model Award. Moreover, CTCI supports reduction of carbon emissions by launching “net-zero EPC (engineering, procurement, and construction),” an initiative that seeks to engage all engineering counterparts in Taiwan to aim for net-zero emissions.

There are 270 highly skilled and trusted graduates from Taiwan Tech who currently work at CTCI. CTCI looks forward to recruiting more outstanding professionals who have studied at Taiwan Tech to join “the most reliable global engineering services provider.” Their engineering expertise will bring great benefit to the nation and allow Taiwan to shine on global stage.
