2010 Georgia Tech China Summer Program
May 22 - July 24, 2010
http://www.chinasummer.gatech.edu
The 2010 Georgia Tech China Summer Program (CSP, formerly the Shanghai Summer Program), will offer a general information session during 6-7pm on Tuesday January 19, 2010 in the Klaus Building, Room 1116 W. Pizza and drinks will be served. Please come to meet the program faculty/staff and get your questions answered!
During the summers of 2005-2009, we had run the Shanghai Summer Program successfully for five seasons. Starting in summer 2010, the Shanghai Summer Program will be replaced by a new China Summer Program, which will operate sequentially from two locations - Tianjin in the north, and Shanghai in the south. By residing in two cities, CSP participants will be able to experience two different regions of China with distinct customs, cultures, dialects, and foods. The two hosting universities (Tianjin University and Shanghai Jiaotong University) are top engineering schools in China. Tianjin is 30 minutes by train from China's capital Beijing.
The 2010 CSP will offer 7 lecture courses that will be taught in English by Georgia Tech faculty. Non-credit Chinese language courses will be offered by the host universities. Non-credit Chinese cultural courses such as Chinese cooking, Chinese martial arts, Taiji and Weiqi (Go Game) will be offered as well.
This coming summer is an especially exciting time as the 2010 World Expo will be held in Shanghai, China!
