UC President Neville Pinto visits Chongqing University

Zhang warmly welcomed the UC delegation. Afterward, 2017 JCI graduates Yueshi Dong (mechanical engineering) and Zanhao Fu (electrical engineering) shared details about their studies and internships at JCI.

Dong said her experience at her internship and working as a Student Orientation Leader at UC expanded her horizons and helped her to define her future direction.

JCI is not only a co-op institute but also a joyful, creative, imaginative and rich internship experience with a colorful campus life, Fu said. It encourages JCI students to explore and have confidence in the ability to challenge themselves.

Pinto thanked the students for their presentations and said these life experiences can help us explore the relationship between professional learning and the real world and inspire us to think about why people need to learn.

Other students also shared their experiences in learning, work and life. They also made suggestions about improving future planning. In this regard, Pinto and the instructors at the meeting shared their thoughts and constructive opinions. They suggested that the relationship between UC professors and students of JCI should be strengthened. The students' scientific research thinking and ability should be focused to guide the research projects and build a good foundation for future study. At the same time, the communication among all students should be strengthened. The hope is that under the positive influence and driving of the students of JCI, more students in the department will choose to pursue graduate school instead of employment.

At the end of the symposium, Pinto expressed his appreciation for the achievements of JCI and its students.

The goal is for JCI to make both universities stronger.
