Abstract

The College of Science and Engineering at the University of Minnesota is a unique collegiate structure in major research universities in the United States in that it combines all of engineering, physical and computer sciences, and mathematics under one dean. This construct allows for seamless education and research across the full spectrum of the disciplines represented in the college. In close proximity to, and in collaboration with the University’s Medical School, the college also enables and supports research and educational programs related to health and medical devices.

This talk will provide an overview of the University of Minnesota, and its College of Science and Engineering. The strong partnership established with CUHK-Shenzhen in 2017 is then highlighted, including the accomplishments of the first group of CUHK-Shenzhen students who are about to complete their senior year studies at the University of Minnesota.
