2. Introduction • History The founder of Merry Electronics Co. Ltd, a leading company in the electro-acoustics industry, is Lu-Li Liao: He was worried that there were no specialized programs to cultivate electro-acoustics talent. Therefore he gave a generous donation to Feng Chia University to nurture talent in this field in May 2006, with the expectation that the electro-acoustics industry would become an important industry in Taiwan. In August 2007, the Graduate Program in Electro-Acoustics was set up by Feng Chia University. In September 2008, Merry Electro-acoustic Laboratory was established with ISO3745 and ISO 7779 standards. • Purpose • Cultivate talent in electro-acoustics to satisfy industry needs. • Fit Taiwan’s policy of developing electro-acoustic science.
