The ZJU-UIUC Institute

The Zhejiang University/University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Institute (the ZJU-UIUC Institute) is a new cooperatively-run engineering college. By introducing top engineering curricula and resources from UIUC, complemented with contributions from counterpart colleges and departments from ZJU, ZJU-UIUC Institute will provide a world-class engineering education. 

The ZJU-UIUC Institute breaks boundaries between traditional engineering disciplines and does not plan to establish discipline-based departments or institutes. Instead, it creates cross-disciplinary teams and activities and encourages multidisciplinary knowledge convergence and cross cooperation. The ZJU-UIUC Institute conducts teaching and research in broad program themes of engineering and system sciences, information and data sciences, energy, environment, and infrastructure sciences etc. Undergraduate and graduate degrees are offered in civil and environmental engineering, computer engineering, electrical engineering, electronics engineering, and mechanical engineering. Classes and student activities at the ZJU-UIUC Institute are conducted in English. The ZJU-UIUC Institute provide world-class teaching and research facilities. There are all first-rate teaching and research settings.
