Date and Time: July 21 & 22, 2012(Sat.&Sun)9:00 – 17:00
Location: Chen Rui Qiu Building, Room 114
This year’s open house of Introduction to Engineering (Vg100) will be held on July 21 & 22, showcasing 39 research projects of the freshmen. From deciding topics, planning, dividing labor, purchasing material, to experimenting, adjusting, and completing the projects, the students have done it all independently by teamwork. They were asked for a design to improve the quality of daily life. The subjects are broad. Visitors can learn about their experiments through their prototypes, and interact with the student experimenters and the course instructor Prof. Jason Daida from the University of Michigan.
Course Description: Vg100 is a JI featured course for freshmen. It introduces students to the professional skills required of engineers and provides them with an overview of engineering at the beginning of their program. An important component of the course is the real-world engineering project. As an innovative course, Vg100 was first introduced from the University of Michigan. Through nearly six years of improvement, the course has arrived at the same level as similar courses abroad. In 2010, it has been awarded as “SJTU Model Course”.
All interested students, faculty, and parents are welcome. Those high school students and parents who are interested in UM-SJTU JI are also invited to learn about the Joint Institute.
