Purdue University Global Engineering Programs What about rates for Study Abroad? – Last 20 years, a five fold increase:

Global Engineering Professional Seminar 10 For Engineering—low rates of SA

Global Engineering Professional Seminar 11 We asked Purdue ME’s… ›Why not study abroad as part of your Purdue BSME? ›They told us: – 1. Expensive! – 2. Extends time to graduation! – 3. Missing out on friends and family!

Global Engineering Professional Seminar 12 So we built our ME program in China to those specifications: NO ›1. NO additional cost! (Including airfare!) NO ›2. NO extended time to graduation! GO ›3. GO with 29 ME friends—a class full! : For everyone classes in English ›And we added: For everyone in “good standing,” and classes in English, no foreign language requirement!

Global Engineering Professional Seminar 13 China-ETA this semester, 31 ME’s!

Global Engineering Professional Seminar 14 Note: ›Shirtsleeves! Leaves on the trees! Ok, we missed the snow recess. ›These 31 ME’s will complete a semester of study at SJTU and return to campus for their senior year job search—with CHINA on their resume. ›They are smiling!

Global Engineering Professional Seminar 15 The China-ETA Program ›One semester at SJTU, 15 to 19 credits – Pre-certified for Purdue credit – Fits the usual “Semester Six” POS – Finish Mid-May – Taught in English, – Both Purdue and SJTU Faculty

Global Engineering Professional Seminar 16 Next Spring, Semester 6 in China!

Global Engineering Professional Seminar 18 Jan Delphi China Tech Center At CTC: fuel systems development, environmental, durability, vibration and electromagnetic testing. Also, products such as in-car entertainment and electronic and safety systems.

Global Engineering Professional Seminar 19 Delphi in China Delphi total investment in China is about US$500 million Delphi has 17 legal entities in China.

Global Engineering Professional Seminar 20 SJTU engineering campus The “New Gate” at the new “SJTU Minhang Campus,” where the School of Mechanical Engineering is located.

Global Engineering Professional Seminar 21 What else? ›Program travel to engineering and manufacturing sites (three or so, e.g., Delphi, Honeywell, and GMShanghai) ›Program travel to nearby historic sites, e.g., Hangzhou ›“Spring Break” at Chinese New Year’s—and guess who invented black powder?

Global Engineering Professional Seminar 22 A professional investment: ›Stay competitive—international experience used to be the exception, but a revolution is underway, e.g., RPI, majority of engineers to graduate with international experience. ›Internationally known partner—our partner is ranked #1 in China in Mechanical Engineering—Shanghai Jiao Tong University.
