AB  - This investigation proposes a successful case of industrial-academic cooperation between the
Chienkuo Technology University and J. King Aluminum Inc. This study was proposed by the rotating
machinery and heat transfer laboratory. They studied the optimal heat transfer and structural strength of
closed-cell aluminum porous material. The cooperation involved the exchange of technical skills; the
determination of policies and methods for establishing a lasting relationship, to ensure mutual trust
between the parties involved and the elucidation of the benefits enjoyed by both sides. This study seeks
to provide a good example to local technical industrial institutions of successful industrial-academic
cooperation to promote academic professional research and the establishment of empirical formulae
from relevant experimental data. The results of the example are useful in designing an electronic
package and cooling device will lead to the novel material applications and reduce the cost of research
in related industries, improving global production and marketing, also motivates students to combine
academic skills and industrial practice as part of a professional education.
