Advanced Manufacturing Processes in China Summer

Advanced Manufacturing Processes

and Manufacturing Globalization

On-Campus Component: Pre-departure Classes and Orientation: May 13, 2020

Overseas Component: May 14 – June 5, 2020

This study abroad program is coordinated by the Northern Illinois University Study Abroad Office (SAO), in cooperation with the NIU College of Engineering and Engineering Technology and Department of Mechanical Engineering.

PROGRAM DATES: The program will officially begin on Wednesday, May 13, 2020 in DeKalb with an orientation and a pre-departure class at NIU. Students should plan to depart from O’Hare Airport for Beijing on Thursday, May 14, 2020. The overseas component of the program will end on Friday, June 5, 2020 with the return of the group from Shanghai to Chicago. Students will be responsible for making their own air travel arrangements in order to arrive in Beijing on Friday, May 15, 2020 and return from Shanghai on Friday, June 5, 2020.

PROGRAM DIRECTOR: Jenn-Terng Gau, professor of Mechanical Engineering in the NIU College of Engineering and Engineering Technology, has been conducting research and teaching in the areas of metal forming, mechanics, and design and manufacturing since he joined NIU in 2004. Before he joined NIU, he had worked about seven years in Ford Motor Company and Harley-Davidson Motor Company in the areas of stamping and deep drawing processes. Dr. Gau has extensive collaborations with researchers and educators in China.

PROGRAM OVERVIEW/OBJECTIVES: Today’s major theme of world economics is globalization and this is especially obvious in manufacturing industry. Many manufacturing companies in the U.S. lost their competitiveness due to the rise of the Chinese manufacturing industry and many large manufacturing corporations invest in China in order to remain competitive. Thus, for the U.S. manufacturing industry, it is important to understand China’s vital and dynamic manufacturing industry and have a global view of the world manufacturing industry and economics. This program provides students an opportunity to see and experience the massive manufacturing strength in China and gain a global view of the world manufacturing

Advanced Manufacturing Processes & Manufacturing Globalization in China - 2020 Page 2 industry. It will also provide an opportunity to interact with Chinese students and professors in the fields of manufacturing and learn Chinese culture, history and way of living. Students will benefit from these experiences and will better understand the role of U.S. in the world manufacturing industry and economics. In this program we will collaborate with three host institutions in China: Beihang University (BU), Jiangsu University (JSU) and Zhejiang University of Technology (ZJUT). Each host institution will provide learning and lodging facilities and their professors will participate in teaching. In addition, we will visit Shanghai for two days during the program. This program consists of lectures and visits to industrial parks and cultural sites.

PROGRAM SITE(S): The program will be carried out in five major cities in China: Beijing, Zhenjiang, Suzhou, Hangzhou and Shanghai. China is a fascinating country with many cultural and historical sites and its manufacturing industry is full of vitality.

Beijing is the capital of China and has many cultural and historical sites including the Great Wall, Ming’s Tombs, Palaces, Yuan-Min Garden and Forbidden City. It has several of the nation’s top universities and is the main venue of the 2008 summer Olympics. Beihang University (BU) is the host institution in Beijing. We will visit several cultural sites in Beijing area. We will also visit Suzhou, the most beautiful garden city in China. Jiangsu University (JSU) and Zhejiang University of Technology (ZJUT) are the host institutions in Zhenjiang and Hangzhou. We will visit two industrial parks in Suzhou and Xiaoshan and the city of Shanghai, a modern city with numerous skyscrapers and the financial center of China.

The transportation between these cities will be by night train with cabins and beds that is affordable and comfortable.

HIGHLIGHTS: In Beijing, the group will visit the Great Wall, Ming’s Tombs and Summer Palace and Forbidden City, all are world class tourist attractions. In Suzhou, the most beautiful garden city in China, the group will visit Suzhou gardens and Suzhou industrial park that plays vital role in China’s dominance in the world manufacturing industry. In Hangzhou, the group will visit West Lake and Song City and Xiaoshan industrial part. In Shanghai, the group will visit the famous Bund, Eastern Pearle TV Tower and City Temple shopping centers.

PROGRAM AUDIENCE: This program is mainly for undergraduate and graduate students of mechanical engineering, industrial system engineering and engineering technology. All six credit hours can be applied toward undergraduate technical electives or graduate program. Students with other majors will also benefit from the many visits to companies, universities, industry parks and cultural sites.

INSTRUCTION METHOD: The program consists of lectures, homework, paper reading and discussions, quizzes, exams, project report and visits to companies and cultural sites. Most lectures will be conducted in the classrooms and laboratories provided by the host institutions. Some lectures and paper discussions will be conducted during visits to companies and cultural sites as well as during travel. Some professors of the host institutions will participate in research project presentations and demonstrations. Details of activities can be seen in the attached program calendar and course syllabi.

Students are required to submit homework and project reports and to take quizzes and exams. For graduate credit, students need to select a project that reflects the graduate level. Project reports can be submitted by email to the instructor by the deadline. All pre- and post-program communications are conducted through email and phone.
