A newly formed Statistical Survey Research Center at TKU has taken on a task of conducting the opinion polls for the legislator’s election in Hsin-chu and Yun-lin region. Their operations will not only help political candidates to pitch their campaigns more precisely, but also provide students of Statistics Department valuable practicum.

The inauguration of the center was supervised by the College of Management, aiming to combine academic research and commercial services. The Director of the center, Wen Bor-shyh, a professor at the Department of Statistics, revealed that his center has been busy fulfilling its contracts from several government and non-governmental organizations since August, the time of its establishment. Their cases include surveys related to “national defense arms deals” and “smoke-free work places between 2003 and 2004”.
