From Nov. 19 to Nov.20, Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers(IEEE) 2013 President Peter Staecker and IEEE fellow,Member of The Royal Society of Canada, and of Chinese Academy of Engineering, WU Ke paid visit to Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU) by the invitation from Executive Dean of School of Electronic Information and Electrical Engineering. President Staecker not only met the Vice President of SJTU, Zhang Wenjun, but also presented three lectures to SEIEE-IEEE experimental class.
IEEE is one the biggest and most influential
academic institutions in the world. SEIEE-IEEE experimental class, which was
launched in 2011, aims at cultivating high-end scientists and engineers in
electronic information and electrical engineering, by referring to MIT model
and IEEE standard with IEEE
educational resources. From the year 2011 and 2012, there have been more than
180 students.
As the first experimental class of such kind,
the class has attracted highlight from home and abroad.
Though the English class given by the two
scholars did bring difficulties to freshmen and sophomore, the close
communication with them encourage all of the students. They not only felt the
scholarliness, but also opened their eye sight, strengthened understanding and
interest to cutting-edge technologies, and for the most important, triggered to
reflect about the future.
President Staecker
also thought highly of the experimental class, and showed great support.
