ZJU-UIUC INSTITUTE
The Zhejiang University-University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Institute (the ZJU-UIUC Institute, ZJUI) is a cooperatively-run engineering college located on the Zhejiang University (ZJU) International Campus in Haining, China. Complemented with contributions from counterpart colleges and departments from ZJU, ZJU-UIUC Institute provides a world-class engineering education. The institute was officially launched on April 11, 2016. At present, ZJUI has 518 undergraduates and 48 Ph.D. candidates. The ZJUI faculty is composed of talents recruited from top-tier international universities and distinguished professors from ZJU and UIUC. In the three years since its establishment, ZJUI’s multi-disciplinary engineering curriculum has gradually condensed. The preliminary result of this innovative educational practice is becoming evident. Its undergraduate students have distinguished themselves as winners at various international and national competitions and conferences as well as co-authors in renowned academic journals. The ZJUI curriculum provides a strong foundation with a strong mix between both interdisciplinary innovation and teaching practice.
