The fall semester of the 2023-2024\u00a0 is coming to a close, and it has been a year of hard work and breakthroughs in a variety of areas for the students and faculty of SCUPI.<\/p>
The SCUPI new building has now largely met the conditions for use and is getting into move-in phase. The completion of teaching and research facilities and public laboratories in the new building will provide enhanced support for course instruction, research activities, and faculty work.<\/p>
Enrollment in 2023 also made a major breakthrough. In\u00a02023, SCUPI has expanded its enrollment plan to include students from Tianjin, admitting a total of 300 students across 15 provinces and municipalities nationwide. SCUPI narrowed down its admission gap with SCU in 12 provinces and municipalities within 5 points, among which cities the admission score in Chongqing, Shanghai, and Jiangsu was higher than that of SCU. In May 2023, the Ministry of Education of the People’s Republic of China approved an increase in undergraduate enrollment from 300 to 375 students per year. Among them, 80 major in Industrial Engineering, 80 in Mechanical Engineering, 45 in Materials Science and Engineering, 85 in Computer Science, 85 in Electrical and Computer Engineering. SCUPI is now operating with over 1,000 students.<\/p>
In terms of overseas studies, the students of Class 2023 reached a further education rate of 84%. Among the 170 graduates, 105 students received nearly 300 offers from prestigious universities around the world, including Stanford University, ETH Zurich, UC Berkeley, Yale University, Columbia University, Cornell University, Carnegie Mellon University, Georgia Institute of Technology, Duke University, and other well-renowned engineering schools. 97.14% of the students who chose to further study abroad were enrolled by top 100 universities around the world. In addition, 38 students went to Tsinghua University, Peking University, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, University of Science and Technology of China, Zhejiang University, Tongji University, Sichuan University, Xi’an Jiaotong University and other domestic universities to further their studies.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The method of integrating diverse disciplines was shown in this symposium. The IE projects, which span a range of administrative and medical concerns, were developed in association with the West China Hospital research center. The ME projects use a variety of techniques to address interdisciplinary problems, including mechanical design, system dynamics, heat transfer mechanisms, and manufacturing. The MSE programs create novel material-based solutions for a range of applications by combining computational and experimental approaches. At the same time, these final projects, grounded in reality, utilized interdisciplinary knowledge and ideas to offer new perspectives and methods for current social issues. Representatives from enterprises and alumni were also invited to participate in this symposium.<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t On May 19th<\/sup>\uff0cSCUPI Enterprise Open Day, Ms. Junhong Xu, the Director for China Public Affairs & Education, Corporate Social Responsibilities, Intel; Ms. Yupei Liu, Specialist for Higher Education, Intel; Mr. Kun Yin, Training and Talent Development Specialist, Volvo Chengdu; Ms. Yan Chen, Recruiting Specialist, Volvo Chengdu visited SCUPI.<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure><\/div>
