Linkage:

 Our school actively introduces foreign high-quality educational resources, and has initiated a Sino-foreign cooperative undergraduate education program (Civil Engineering) with the University of Tennessee that adopts a “3+1” dual-campus joint cultivation model. The program began enrolling students in September 2015 and has 373 students now. In June 2019, the first batch of students of the program have been allowed to graduate, and among them, 10 students are to be granted  both Chinese and American undergraduate degrees and nearly one third are determined to pursue further studies in the University of Southern California, Georgia Institute of Technology, University of Florida, Hong Kong Polytechnic University, City University of Hong Kong, Central South University, Hunan University, Changsha University of Science and Technology, and other domestic and foreign universities. And most of the other students will go to work in China Communications Construction Co., Ltd., China State Construction Engineering Corporation, China Railway Group and other large engineering enterprises, and they are well favored by engineering enterprises concerning foreign affairs.

 

This program innovates the civil engineering international talent training model by relying on international teaching faculty and management team, and promotes the education and teaching reform of the school, thereby contributing to the school’s "double first-class" construction and expanding its international influence. With steadily improving quality of students, this program well satisfies the society's demand for internationalized high-quality resources of civil engineering education, providing foreign-related engineering and technical talents and industry elites for Chinese engineering enterprises and thus supporting their implementation of “Go Out” strategy and regional economic construction in the context of the “Belt and Road” Initiative.
