Info Session       Bldg 192 Rm 240                Thurs, Jan 11, 11:10 AM - 12:00 PM
Info Session       Bldg 192 Rm 240                Thurs, Jan 25, 11:10 AM - 12:00 PM

Studying in China offers you the chance to embrace a new culture and learn about a country with a history dating back thousands of years, whose economy has been growing dramatically these past two decades. Knowledge of China is increasingly desired by employers and provides you an edge in your resume. In addition to gaining such a study abroad experience, you are able to accelerate your academic degree progress by earning Cal Poly academic credits. Students who participate in Engineering in China 2018 will take STAT 312 (4 units), ENGR 400 (2 units) and IME 471 (1 unit). Dr. John Oliver has agreed to allow CPE students who participate in this program to substitute STAT 350 with STAT 312.

Engineering in China, a Cal Poly faculty led global program is designed to offer Cal Poly students a multidisciplinary international team experience. International teams will be formed consisting of Cal Poly students and Chinese students from Zhejiang University of Technology (ZJUT) and you will take classes and conduct projects together with the intent of applying the knowledge they acquire to solve real-world problems. Through this experience, you will learn how to work in a team with different cultural backgrounds. You will gain problem-solving skills by conducting real world projects. You will also improve communication skills and develop leadership skills in a multi-cultural environment. It is expected that students will be ready to function in a global environment after this program.

Plant tours of manufacturing companies are integrated into the program. We will visit Volvo/Jili Auto Company, Plexus (http://www.plexus.com/solutions/overview), Jingshen M&E Co., and Xio-lift elevator/escalator Co.

Six days of cultural excursions in Hangzhou and Shanghai are part of the program. We will visit the Bund and the 100th floor of the Financial Center in Shanghai, and taste famous Nanxiang Steamed Bun (Baozi) at Yu Garden and have a nice buffet dinner at the Oriental Pearl Tower in Shanghai. West Lake of Hangzhou, a United Nations Education, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) World Heritage Site, is a must visit place. In addition, we will experience the beauty of Suzhou classical garden, ride a boat at the Xixi Wetland National Park, and taste spring water from the Tiger Spring.

Detailed information of this program is available at Cal Poly study abroad website: https://abroad.calpoly.edu/index.cfm?FuseAction=Programs.ViewProgram&Program_ID=10761 

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact John Pan  at pan@calpoly.edu or stop by his office at Bldg 192 Rm 235 during my office hours, Tuesday & Wednesday 8:40am to 11:00am.
