For most of the students, summer is a time to travel and explore new opportunities. A group of students from India is doing just that - at Kansas State University.
Last year, the Indian state of Gujarat, initiated collaboration with Kansas State University, signing a MOU to launch the Engineering Summer Institute. Students from Gujarat Technical University, or GTU, will complete 2 eight-week courses in electrical engineering taught by K-State faculty. Classes started in June on the Manhattan campus.
Mohammad Hosni, professor of mechanical and nuclear engineering at Kansas-State said Gujarat Technical University administration shortlisted the first group of students to participate in the institute, and all are taking degrees in electrical engineering from the Indian university. Every student has passed national university entrance exams and GTU requirements. All of the students have sound technical and academic backgrounds.
Classes the students are taking at Kansas State University include wireless and mobile communication and digital signal processing.
Students will get credit for these courses as part of their curriculum at their college, and this offers the opportunity for them to possibly seek graduate school admission at Kansas-State or another institution upon graduation.
The program is sponsored by Gujarat Technical University and covers Kansas-State faculty instruction and graduate teaching assistant support for the 2 classes, as well summer institute fees. Students have to make arrangements for their travel, lodging and personal expenses.
