The 2024 Winter Design Expo of the University of Michigan-Shanghai Jiao Tong University Joint Institute (UM-SJTU JI, JI hereafter) is scheduled to open on December 18 at Long Bin Building.

The winter expo of this year is expected to display 43 design projects from a number of courses of freshmen and senior students including “Introduction to Engineering”, “System Design and Implementation”, “Design and Manufacture III”, “Product Design and Manufacturing”, “VLSI Design I” and “Computer Architecture”.

JI holds the design expo event twice a year to provide a platform for its undergraduate students to present their technological and innovative works. The event also serves to demonstrate its advanced educational philosophy, which focuses on developing critical thinking, creativity, practical skills, and teamwork among its students.
