The International Education College, or IEC, is an international education institute evolving from several years of practice of Sino-foreign cooperative education at Shanghai Dianji University, or SDJU. It is founded to meet the need of the long-term development of SDJU.
Sino-foreign cooperative education administered by IEC has introduced international ideas and concepts of education, adopted advanced international teaching modes, obtained high quality teaching resources from abroad, formed a connection between domestic and foreign courses, and established a variety of cooperative projects of superior quality, such as Mechanical Engineering Technology, International Business (Sino-Australian); Automobile Operation Technology, Electronics Engineering Technology-Control Systems, Computer Engineering Technology (Sino-Canadian); Hotel Management and Automobile Marketing (Sino-German). All the above has enhanced our ability to train skilled technicians with international qualifications.
The progressive Chinese-English bilingual teaching and all-English teaching courses at IEC have given students opportunities in the international job market and in continuing study abroad. The cooperative education has adopted a project-based management system, assembled a pool of excellent teachers and teaching resources, and made efforts to complement the advantages of Chinese education with that of foreign education and vice versa. As a result, an international education system with unique features has been created.
Shanghai Dianji University regards international cooperative education of great significance and makes continuous efforts to enhance it. The university has so far established cooperative relations with more than a dozen higher education institutes in the US, Japan, Germany, France, Australia and Canada, thus laying the foundation for the growth of its International Education College.
