The Zhejiang University-University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign Institute (ZJUI) is a joint engineering institute on Zhejiang University's International Campus in Haining. Illinois says the universities signed the agreement creating the institute in July 2015 after a bilateral relationship that began with a collaborative agreement in 2002. [1]
ZJUI offers engineering programs in civil and environmental engineering, computer engineering, electrical engineering and mechanical engineering. Illinois says students began studying at the institute in 2016 and can earn University of Illinois degrees while studying in China. [2]
The partnership extends beyond degree delivery. Illinois' Global Relations office describes ZJUI as a foundation for greater research capacity and reports 95 research projects, 648 publications, 22 research labs, 37 patents and 32 teaching labs associated with its broader multidisciplinary research enterprise.
