Work in progress - developing an international field project in China

ENGR0035 is an optional three-credit study abroad opportunity offered jointly by the school of business and engineering as a follow-up to the freshman writing assignments. The course consists of a field study trip to Valparaiso, Chile; Nanjing, China; Prague, the Czech Republic; or Augsburg, Germany. The course involves lectures at the local universities, company visits and sightseeing. It culminates in a group research paper and a presentation focused on one of the visited companies, as well as in the national and global industry in which it operates. The groups consist of both business and engineering students, thus their viewpoints are considered in the paper and in the presentation. This paper outlines the course layout for the China component.
