AB  - This study discusses a successful case of industrial-academic cooperation involving the
technical university and the Ford Motor Company in Taiwan. The cooperation involved the exchange
technical skills via industry-academic cooperation. Both sides have been cooperating since 1991. This
study describes the process of how the cooperation was initiated with a small project, the interactions
between the two parties and the increasing cooperation. This study also describes the policies and
methods used to establish a lasting relationship and ensure mutual trust between the parties involved, as
well as describing the benefits obtained by both sides. This study hopes to provide a good example to
local or overseas technical industry institutions by using this successful case of industrial-academic
cooperation to provide background, experiences, methods and results that can assist in developing future
cooperation plans.
