We are pleased to announce an engineering and technology study abroad program for Spring Term 2008 in Nanjing China.

Description

The first objective of this program is to help students understand the most important issues involved in globalization and technology and to acquire skills needed to participate in and manage engineering and technology activities in a global environment. A second objective of this program is to increase students' understanding of:

  1. How culture shapes how people think, live, and work.
  2. How culture affects governments and economies.
  3. How culture affects the practice of engineering and technology.

Nanjing University will host our students in this spring-term intensive program. The program will consist of a globalization course taught by the program director plus a variety of language/culture courses taught by Nanjing University faculty. Coursework will be supplemented by regular visits to design and manufacturing sites, interacting with both native Chinese technical personnel as well as foreigners working in China.
