SHANGHAI JIAO TONG UNIVERSITY

 

UT Mechanical Engineering students may attend Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU) for the spring semester and/or stay for a summer research internship. Shanghai is one of the easier cities in China to navigate for foreigners.

Founded in 1896, SJTU is one of the world's best universities with over 38,000 undergraduate and graduate students. Many UT engineering graduate students come from SJTU and many UT alumni live in Shanghai. The McCombs School of Business also exchanged students with SJTU.

ME courses guaranteed to be taught in English are Thermodynamics II, Engineering Materials, Heat Transfer and Heat Transfer Laboratory. Other courses may be offered. Mandarin language, company visits and volunteer work are also available.
