[Student's Voice]
◎ Name: Zhuang Weiqi
I am studying hard to obtain a license as a registered dietitian. My classes include experiments and practical training, and I have noticed many things. I participated in a product development project in collaboration between my university and a company (Koyo Co., Ltd.) and developed a lunch box. The completed lunch box, "Colorful Japanese-style Lunch Box Supervised by a Registered Dietitian," was actually sold in supermarkets. I would like to make use of this experience in the future.
