Dr. Arthur Wu Memorial Scholarship Introduction:

Dr. Arthur Wu was a distinguished civil engineer in Taiwan whose education and career spanned Taiwan and the United States. In 1956, he graduated from the Department of Civil Engineering of Tainan Institute of Technology (now National Cheng Kung University). He was the last graduate of the Institute of Technology and the first graduate of National Cheng Kung University.

After graduation, Arthur Wu served as a reserve military officer and an engineer at the Water Resources Bureau in Taiwan. He then returned to National Cheng Kung University to pursue a master’s degree and became the first graduate of the Department of Civil Engineering’s  master’s class. His study abroad journey began in 1962, when he received a scholarship from Ohio State University to study in the United States, where he completed his master’s degree. He then obtained a doctorate in engineering from George Washington University and later served in the U.S. Department of the Navy’s Engineering Department. Dr. Wu won numerous awards throughout his life, the total number of which broke the record of the U.S. Department of the Navy. He also became the first Asian to be awarded the Goethals Medal, the highest award honor in U.S. military engineering.

In addition to his work achievements, Dr. Wu was active in social welfare and overseas Chinese academic circles, serving as an important cadre and volunteer in many Asian-Pacific organizations and academic groups. He also remembered his alma mater, National Cheng Kung University, which has nurtured him in the past, and actively organized and participated in alumni activities. He was one of the initiators of the National Cheng Kung University North America Alumni Foundation, laying a solid support for the Foundation.

In addition to his professional achievements, Dr. Wu also had a great passion for dance and has been the leading character of the joint dance club between National Cheng Kung University and National Chung Hsing University in the Washington, D.C. area for many years. His personal life was abundant and varied, and his career story served as an outstanding example to many engineers who will be able to not only achieve excellence in their profession, but also make important contributions, and have a lasting impact in their communities and alumni networks.

In order to commemorate Dr. Arthur H. Wu and carry on his spirit, his family established the “Dr. Arthur H. Wu Memorial Scholarship”.
