MASTER JOINT TRAINING PROGRAM FOR TRANSPORTATION ENGINEERING OF SOUTHEAST UNIVERSITY AND MONASH UNIVERSITY IN TRANSPORTATION ENGINEERING

The Southeast University-Monash University Joint Master’s Program in Transportation Engineering was established in September, 2012. The joint Master’s program is undertaken over two years and students graduate with two Master’s degrees; one from Southeast University and one from Monash University. So far it is the only international joint graduate program in Transportation Engineering that is approved by the Ministry of Education of China.

INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCES ATTENDED

The faculty and students at the School of Transportation have been actively involved in various international conferences, including the Annual Meeting of the Transportation Research Board (TRB), which is held annually in Washington D.C. in the United States. With more than forty attendees in each year, the SEU faculty and students constitute one of the largest international delegations in the Annual Meeting of TRB. The TRB meeting also provides a gathering place where our faculty, students, and the alumni who live and work in different countries may communicate with each other.

THE JOINT RESEARCH INSTITUTE ON INTERNET OF MOBILITY BETWEEN SOUTHEAST UNIVERSITY AND UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN

Institute on Internet of Mobility, Southeast University and University of Wisconsin-Madison is a new type research institution affiliated to Southeast University,with the research area focused on the frontier discipline of “Connected Automated Transportation”. The Joint Research Institute is established combining the scientific research and talent advantages from Southeast University, University of Wisconsin Madison and other internationally well-known intelligent transportation research institutes. The Joint Research Institute will extensively carry out theoretical and practical research on Internet of Mobility, train students and promote industrial transformation, and strive to become a world-renown research institution on Internet of Mobility.

A “4+X” Double Degree Program agreement has been assigned between University of Wisconsin-Madison and Southeast University. It is stipulated in the agreement that each year SEU would select up to 20 postgraduate students or postgraduate candidates exempt from admission exam in SEU to study at UW for one-year joint-supervision project. These students would receive UW master degrees if the required credits from the UW are achieved.

DOUBLE DEGREE PROGRAM BETWEEN THE SOUTHEAST UNIVERSITY AND THE ECOLE DES PONTS PARISTECH(ENPC)

The double degree program are supported by the cooperation between the Southeast University and the Ecole des Ponts ParisTech. The aim of the program is to cultivate top talents in the transportation field. ENPC is the first comprehensive graduate school of engineering in French history, and enjoys a worldwide reputation. In the program, Chinese students should complete a one-year master coursework at the Southeast University, then complete a one-year master coursework and finish paper work in France. Students can obtain the master degree of the two universities after thesis defense conducted by faculties from both universities. The program not only allows students to receive the French elite engineer education, but also enables students to grasp the French application ability and experience French culture. The program can highly promote the cultivation of students'comprehensive abilities.

CRBC-SEU PAKISTAN EDUCATION PROGRAM OF TRANSPORT ENGINEERING

SEU pays high attention to the cooperation and exchanges with countries along the “One Belt and One Road”, according to the One Belt and One Road initiative. Under the strong support of the education departments in the two countries and the active promotion of the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC), the first Pakistan overseas graduate students fully sponsored by CRBC have begun their study in the transport engineering projects taught by English in SEU.

The cooperation agreement signed with CRBC not only demonstrates a new platform and start point for the cooperation between university and enterprise, but also a new initiative proposed by China and Pakistan in higher education, and a vivid model for the proactive response of Chinese universities in practicing the “Belt and Road” Initiative and cooperating with the enterprise for win-win development.

“TRANSPORTATION AND URBAN PLANNING SUMMER INTERNATIONAL CLASS” PROGRAM BETWEEN THE SOUTHEAST UNIVERSITY AND THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA

Since 2016, the School of Transportation at the Southeast University has cooperated with the Transportation Research Center at the University of Minnesota on construction of the “Transportation and Urban Planning Summer International Class” program. The program mainly orients to undergraduate students from the School of Transportation at the Southeast University. During six weeks in summer vacation, the program provides participants with courses including intensive English learning, application of GIS in transportation and related planning areas, overall urban planning, transportation planning, related social practice, etc. Part of the courses can be converted to credits at the Southeast University.

The program attracts over 20 professional students to participate in every year, strongly helps participants expand international vision, experience diversified transportation environments, and improve multi-cultural communication competence.
